Support is the most difficult position to main

I was just wondering if this was not just my consensus, as a support main is is beyond a shred of doubt that it is the least sought after position, and easily gets the most hate with the exception of jungling, but at least with jungling you built some sort of dmg and aren't completely reliant on building for the team in order to win. So again to rephrase, what do you guys think is the hardest position in terms of the climb?

I main supp.

I love the roll cuz whenever someone tries to blame me for the game I'm like "So how do you expect me to carry and not the ADC?"

No hate, and teams are usually grateful for the saves <3

The mid laner has the most potential/pressure to carry a game because theyre in the center of the map. If they win hard then they could quickly push down the 2 outer turrets mid since theyre closer to each other than the towers on the outsides of the map. The mid can also carry a game by roaming top or bot. They're likely to have more gold than a jungler so their ganks usually hurt worse. Mid also is subject to frequent ganks from every player on the enemy team, so they really got to be on their toes. So I'd say since mid really has the most to lose out of any individual, it is the most difficult position. I main jungle and support, so I am often the subject of blame and shit. It's really a hard part of playing jung/sup, but the mute button is helpful. This is just my general thoughts on this. In any given game a certain matchup or team comp/situation could make a certain role the hardest on that team.

There are arguments for every role except really mid

ADC: completely team reliant and mechanically defensive TOP: Completely matchup reliant JUNGLE: requires the most knowledge and gets abuse from every lane SUPPORT: Feels the least impactful and gets abuse from ADC.

There are many other factors, but this is a good start

Have you heard of utility tank junglers? They are not very common on this meta since bruiser tanks jungler are far better but.... Rammus Sejuani Nautilus build virtually no damage and their entire build is eitehr resistances ot CDR to peel for their teams

Ill say support is harder to climb the ranks with but you can say I have a bias since I main support. I don't think I am bad I consider myself good and if I have slight goof ups(because I am human) I make up for them later. I either get my marksmen fed or keep them alive at least unless we get dove by the enemies. I say its hard because I have to optimize my build around the situation/my team and I can't get very far if my allies are far behind due to unlucky circumstances I suppose. I feel like a mom sometimes when my team mates are raging and I am trying to get them to calm down...haha

If ADC has a terrible support, I don't think they can catch up.
