OK guys I've seen so many people complaining about support and all that jibe.

So here's my perspective on it. When I first started playing League, which was somewhere around the time that Gnar got released, I had a friend that was helping me learn the game. Even though I tried many champs and all the roles, support was the first role that I actually stuck to and learned. Back then, being a support mattered because 1. in a pre-made Teambuilder group(R.I.P.), being a support meant you could find a match a lot faster since hardly anybody played it, and 2. because that was a time where the adc didn't constantly complain about every mistake you make. Nowadays, when I see everybody raging about how hard it is to not get support in Dynamic Q, I look at it like this: yes you may get a crap adc (which I have many times, and which is also the reason I hardly play support anymore), but in the end it comes down to the fact that the support can only do as good as the adc and the adc can only do as good as the support. I think if more people realized this instead of complaining, then Bot lane would be a lot more fun to play.

That is NOT true. You can spoon feed an AD Carry kills, the ADC is not responsible for anything but farming and follow up. If he doesn't follow up, that is his mistake, but it is also yours for not following the passive goal of your ADC. An ADC relies on a supp to do well, but a support supports the entire team, which means roaming mid, helping the jungler, etc. The ADC is not the entire aspect of being support.

I understand that, but when I do go anywhere but bot lane, either the adc will rage at me, or the laner will rage at me because they "don't need my help" then promptly dies after I leave

Those are some bad players then. If you are able to roam, it usually means the ADC is already ahead. (if your being smart about when you roam.) In which case, the ADC can probably enjoy some time soaking up solo XP. And then your other laners are simply being selfish if they shun you for ganking.

But if neither lane is a position where they need assistance, push up you vision into the enemy Jungle.
