Why You Should Consider Maining Support

So, I made a reply to a comment basically saying what I'm about to say, but I thought this could actually be useful to a lot of people, so I decided to make a post about this.

When I was around level 15, my friends, who are gold +, started teaching me about the game heavily. They taught me about filling in champion select, which really set me up for how I play now. I realized that filling was an amazing thing to do because it gave everyone the role they wanted and caused less people to get mad. However, there was a drawback in all this: I was always forced to play support. At first I hated playing this role, but I eventually realized that it was making a huge impact on my game. For example, it taught me how to ward heavily and how big of an impact vision has on your game. Also, it taught me how to make amazing plays without even having damage, and even taught me how to itemize well because I wasn't building damage, so I learned what defensive items counter which skills and offensive items. However, the biggest thing it taught me was how to get carried. This, I feel, is an essential skill because you're always going to have bad games, and if you play support, you're gonna learn how to be fine with having more of those games. It even taught me how to carry harder since I could do it without damage sometimes.

While I don't like playing support champions as much as champions like Rengar and Yasuo, I still play them because of how crucial they are to a team. So, I'll go into team builder if I really want to play roles that are contested, but otherwise, support is my game.

So, I hope that you guys will take this advice with at least a grain of salt and think about typing fill into that champion select chat next time you play, and hopefully, I can get a little love from my other support mains out there.
