Make Assists count for more when it comes to being graded at the end of the match for Champions tagged as Supports (or alternatively make it apply to whoever fills the Support role regardless of Champ picked).
it would go a long way, trust me.

Woodakoodashooda1 votesThey already do that. But the grading system is still placed on a curve. That means that it doesn't change ANYTHING. Whatever other people are accomplishing based on spaghetti code AI grading, you have to do better to get good grades.

Are you sure? Because I (Support main) definitely have a waaaay harder time to nab that S as a Support than I do when, let's say, Jungling or Top.
Woodakoodashooda1 votesThen maybe you're just better at other roles than you are at support.

Well, if by "better" you mean straight-up kills and CS, then yes.
Ark Sorcerer1 votesIf I had the essence, I would already have Thresh as Mastery 7. Not a lot of kills or assists but I landed my skill shots and whatever else Riot grades by.
My Sea Cow1 votesI've gotten quite a few S rankings on my support champs. I mean I do agree it's probably harder because you're not farming but if you have participation in tower objectives, dragons, etc it isn't that hard.
Though I would like supports to get a bit more recognition, I don't want it to be enough to get more people to play the role. I do like my instant queues XD I don't want to share :p
mcjagger1 votesHe's right, it's a curve. It wouldn't matter if assists gave you more score because you're being scored based on your performance compared to others.
I personally have a really hard time securing an S as dive supports like Leo or Alistar. I have an easier time with more passive protection supports like Janna/Raka/Braum. It fits my playstyle a little more and you are in fewer scenarios where you are a primary target. Honestly Janna and Raka are incredibly OP right now thanks to all the item changes.
Coin - > Nomad's -> SS -> t1 boots -> mikael's -> ruby -> redemption -> censer.
I don't even bother finishing talisman, if games go long enough I sell my nomad's and buy rabadon's. I'm winning most of my games with this build, it's honestly OP as hell.
IPinPC1 votesI feel also that supports should get additional reward. Only few likes to play it, support role should get some incentives to be played.
Zach Sandwhich1 votesIdk, I don't think that Assist are the problem, as I get an S a pretty large amount of the time (Support Main here). I think the problem is that there is such a large dependency on CS, and even though the expectation is lowered for support, it's still retardedly high. I do agree that supports should get a bit more glory for assist, like how killstreaks get announced. I could just picture it now "{insert name here} Assist Streak!" Or something lmfao.
JoeMG1 votesYou should get more gold for an assist through shielding and/or healing.
