Support role doesn't need a name change.

look, it's a nice name for the role, and the problem is not the name. just look on google, supports can be cool and boring, but you already know what they gonna do: enhance without the zoom part. for example, the support class on XCOM enemy unknown can and will carry you to victory, but most the time you gonna use sniper (because sniper are OP) yes, on XCOM 2 the name changed for Specialist, but what they do changed to (specialist are the best at hack aliens tech) we could use Specialist, but that sounds "they do something no one else can do as good, or do at all" and so far... only few support champions do something that nobody else do as good, or at all.

now, why I don't it to change? that's thee question. simple: I did "terrible" as thresh, my adc say they did have support, and the enemy bot lane got feed. but we wined, who? I did my best, letting the adc to die and roam, get vision, peel for the others lanes and try my best to get good hooks. in the end of the day, the support problem is "ADC" the carry. look, I don't hate playing support, but how you gonna like it? you don't carry like other lanes, you have to carry by proxy. so, unless Riot change it completely, that's the problem, you adc is not good, and it will not carry you far. BTW, that ADC was not playing well (last hiting was bad, very bad)

so the fix? well, I could say: make support be more global, but that is kind jungler job. however, just look at some action movies, for me support is that guy who get the intel, who is thinking in a way out for the hero, the guy who give the hero the tools he needs. and the jungler? well, he is the guy inside, he is the backup plan, he is the dude who salve the day (when everyone else is in trouble)... I think you guys get it, no?

P.S.: in a side note, why support income is not some sort of average take from everyone else income?
