Smurfing as a support main

Hi LoL community!

So recently I have gotten my main (this account) banned, so I'm looking to climb back into high platinum and hopefully diamond before the season ends. I carry games pretty hard on support (carry doesn't always mean kill everyone, for supports it is often making plays to get kills/objectives and helping the team out so the enemy team cannot capitalize on mistakes (by peeling)); however, on a smurf that has not played any ranked games, I will probably be matched with lower elo players, which means that my mmr will not rise very high even if I support really well at the level of a higher elo support. Should I play carry roles and carry my games and abuse these lower tier elo players until I start to play with higher elo players and switch over to supporting? My jg/mid/top are about high gold to mid platinum level, depending on my level of focus. If I just play support I'm afraid that my mmr during my provisionals will not rise so I can place in plat after provisionals or at least somewhere where I can play support to gain elo. Thanks for your time :)

I would say Support. I climbed fast at the beginning with Support because good supporting is a Problem in Low elo. Warding, Peeling etc isnt rly known there or they dont think about that stuff so intensive.. whatever i dont know whats the problem there but i know that a good Support is a game changer for lower elo. But you need to Pick Supports with high cc because some ppl are scared to follow up without 1000 stuns from the Support xD i pref Leona here but you need to Test it yourself :) good luck and have Fun Summoner !

if you go into low elo and plan to climb QUICK, you go into a carry role. support isnt going to carry silver/gold players.
