I main support literally cause my cousin told me to play it when i first started playing so id have the least amount of impact on the game lmao. Over the years i realized how unsatisfying the position is and how useless i feel when i have under performing damage carry champs on my team.

I hate having to waste time fuking with sightstone!

I also hate having to babysit someone els !

I (play video games) to have as much fun as i can and buying sightstone/babysitting IS NOT FUN

but yet i get this position all the time cause everyone wants the other positions

lame!

I had a Janna who once helped me (Ashe) 2v4 the enemy team. Supports can do a lot, you just need to know what to do and when to do it.

I pick support because I enjoy it. Getting to just unload CC spells and protect your allies, and just generally be a nuisance and irritate the enemy team while your teammates win the game.

I too hate farming, which is why I sometimes roll support. I think healer supports are more up your ally. Tank supports get harassed too easily to make it fun, and if you don't like kill lane supports, play a consistent healer or buffer. Janna only has 1 heal, which makes it harder for in lane sustain. She has almost no offensive attributes, which is why you feel so weak. Lux, morgana, annie and brand are okay at support if you feel underwhelming. But it sounds like you just hate the game in general. Much of the game is trying to outfarm your opponent and/or make plays for your team.

Ok a few things. If you are supporting correctly you will not have the 'least impact' you will have massive impact in game. Maybe in some cases a good support is the unsung hero and MVP. The game is not all about kills its about objectives and team wok, not any other single champion embodies those 2 ideals more.

If you play tanky or what I call off tank support. They are re working tanks soon. And some stuff like knights vow and the fact face of te mountain bubbles you both, and other great support items can keep is very fun fresh and interesting.

The only time I grumble buying a sight stone is on a pure caster like Lulu or Lux. I am not a fan of that other thing, I want my utility of my Frost queen chain... If you feel this way buy a control ward now and again and upgrade the free ward. Many abilities also can reveal an area like Lux illumination. Your role however is, SUPPORT

Babysit.... ? This is literally the role you have accepted. Your whole job is to see that ADC and your team to victory. If this is not your cup of tea maybe you want another role? Id rather see a bad 'any other role'' than a trolly and disgruntle support.

Its not about being MVP or doing damage....all be it some supports can REALLY hurt a teams damage like new new new rakka is... ehhh... if played wrong really can hurt a team.

Also you are not always getting a kill. (scrolling down) its like jungle people think every visit by jungle should end in a lane kill its just not true. it can be a push back or to scare them back or to get them to burn a flash, or it can be to hold lane while you back. Support is the same. your job is lane control and prevention. Not every ward you drop is going to lead to some big play.

I only recently started using void after playing since season 1 it can help on random public games when you dont know who you are partnered with.

and scrolling down more maybe you are bad at it, you may just have no love for support. so.. dont do it. I would not want a support that felt that way.

Okay, to put it in perspective, if you get a bad support as an adc, you're going to have a tough time. Supports win games, just not directly. If you must do damage as support, I strongly suggest lux.

Depending on whom you pick as supp, they can have the biggest impact on a game. Some victories are entirely because of a good support. It sounds like you're playing blind or something, don't play that cancer, play draft like normal people do. Play ARAM a lot if you want more action, play draft and pick two roles that are not support. This is common sense.
