When will riot fix the win rates for boring supports? Quality of life for support role update please

Win rates: Soraka 52%, Sona 54%, Janna 56%.

These three have always been high on the win rate list. For several seasons. Riot, if you want to fix the quality of the support role in the game then please make less boring supports more viable! I don't want to get raged at by my team in champ select because I don't pick one of these champs just because they're open.

I'm sure someone has fun on Janna hitting Q and R, or Soraka hitting W, or Sona just button mashing. So I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure there are plenty of others out there who are sick of these three consistently topping the charts. It's been seven seasons.

I play Morgana and Zyra and most supports seem good to me but what other champs are you talking about?

I play Sejuani and Camille and have loads of fun. Good games, too. I don't think it's so much that Riot has to fix the win rates (which actually seems impossible, at least directly)... and more about Riot fixing the stale concept of a meta. Since season 3, Riot has gone out of their way to discourage out-of-meta play, and it's been to the game's detriment. This is just one example. There are some really good, really fun unorthodox support picks out there. It's just a matter of getting the community to accept them.

I have NEVER seen anyone get angry because someone didn't pick a certain champion
Alot of people obviously enjoy those champs (including me). If you don't like them,why just not play them?

3.They're currently trying to balance those champions by experimenting with items like ardent censer.They can't change too much yet since they're waiting for pre-season to throw a bunch of changes at us. Althought some of the supports need some changes,the reason they have such a high winrate isn't because they're "broken",but they're some of the easier supports to pick up and play. Nerfing them would make them entirely useless,with maybe an exception of Janna
