Support Credits

I know most league players dont play support and that for other laners this wont make their experience necessarily better but hear me out.

I’m a support main. I watched riots video about the problem with dynamic queue and I can clearly understand their struggle. It’s clear that support is the least popular lane and I can understand why. Everybody wants to be the person who carries the team to victory and gets fed etc. Some people even say that supports are useless and are only there to make sure the adc does not die. I feel that support does not receive enough credit for their contribution on the rift and I believe this connects to the lack of support mains.

My solution to this problem would be to give more credits for assist. Not just the small champion picture that pops up next to the killers picture, but credits similar to “doublekill”, “killingspree” etc. I know that it would ruin the game experience to give credit for every assist, due to the fact that assists are given so frequently, however it could be possible to give credits for a certain amount of assists without dying (“assist streak”, for instance). The ingame experience for a support is a lot worse than for a midlaner due to the lack of credit they get. I believe this change could make the support role both more popular, and also enlighten the community of how important the role is and how important the teamwork is.

Remember that more support player means shorter queue time. This is a change that could make everyones experience better.
