http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1712900584/209246680?tab=overview, that zyra support pretty much won us the game, she did everything she was supposed to, got me fed and stole baron when we needed it most and helped us take out their nexus so next time you meet a good support, dont just ignore them and keep all the fame for yourself. :)
Tin Tarantino8 votesMore than twice the damage of the mid lane Zed, that's pretty impressive.
RoyaiChaos2 votesWell, it was support Zyra, lol. Sona's like that too.
Raise Dongrs6 votesPSA for all ADC mains: The support doesn't need to follow you everwhere; run into a 3v1 and don't expect any help from me. Also if a support has a consistent output of wards, they don't NEED a sightstone. It's nice, yes; but it's not NEEDED

Except if the ADC is Kalista, and the support is Leona/Braum. Then they both wanna stick together to make the #BigPlays
SpiderTeo1 votesI can understand that the support doesn't need to tagalong the ADC once laning phase is over. Also, I would agree to only "give up one, not two."
However, a "consistent output of wards" usually adds up to over ten wards in a normal-length game. If you are dropping 11 or more wards, getting a sightstone would be the more economically sound choice.
SEKAI6 votesSupport is only in the game to get carried, you basically sit in lane to do nothing besides warding, do 1 or 2 spells to scare enemies off and block a cc or 2 plus pokes with your butt, risking your life for the adc is all you can do.
You don't get really get gold which means you don't need to squeeze your brain over what item you need to build, support items are OP anyways, just upgrade from your gold item of choice, get boot and sightstone BAM game's already over, much skill eh?
Your sole purpose is to lit up the jungle like Christmas tree, keep people informed about ganks, clearing wards, prob inform a little about objectives and nothing else, oh and listen to every order I give you, die for the team and keep people alive in teamfights.
Speaking of teamfights, it's not hard to peel for the entire team and cc the top priorities at the same time, that's the only thing you need to do, that's fkn it, AND YOU FAIL 8 TIMES OUT 10! You can not cs, as in, you can't because duh and you don't do damage, I WORK HARD TO SPAM MY QWER TO DROP PEOPLE DEAD YOU ONLY NEED TO KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE ITS NOT THAT HARD, AT ALL!!
Only noobs play support because they can't play themselves. Cya.

that was so sarcastic, I didn't even see the sarcasm, mlg level sarcasm
Rew7111 votesAs someone who likes to support, I think the best way to make support a more enjoyable role is to have more support champions. I would also like to also ask Riot to add a feature that gives a person Win Points after they reach level 30.
Win Points will be very complex and have a very hard way to gain them. These points can only be gained in team builder and will be explained further, right now. The reason is, you will gain points based on:
What do you think?
Dargent1 votesThis almost seems to me like its enforcing a meta too much
Rew7111 voteslol, I don't know really. There are so many different opinions on here. And to get a side for both, it takes the most random post. I keep getting called out for trying to break the meta and when I try and make a thing for the meta, I'm still far away from what I should do. Man, this is hard.
Rikari2 votesno one can tell sarcasm online man lol,when i look now it seems evident at the second paragraph
SEKAI2 votesBut hey at least on the plus side I get to see how much hate that post can gather, which is always nice to see aye.
Tin Tarantino1 votesYou forgot to type "Kappa"
NinjaToad994 votesHow to sarcasm:
Because, you know, supports totally do nothing but sit in lane a throw wards down. They just have to peel whole teams after all. etc.
SpiderTeo2 votesNobody noticed the sarcasm, shame, dang I was sure I put a lot of effort and hints in there.
Guess I haven't fully got the right skills yet.
Honestly, that didn't sound at all like sarcasm. In fact, it sounds like so many players who never willingly do bot lane, claims to "not know how to support," and rogue supports who get hard carry champs for bot lane and throw the ADC under the bus. This happens more often than not, that playing ADC is a crap shoot at best. And yet, you get these same players bitching and whining about the ADC, despite that they can't even buy a single ward on their own.
rekd12 votes"Lighting their jungle up like a christmas tree" should have been a dead giveaway before reading any further seeing as you can only have four wards on the map
SpiderTeo1 votesNo, it isn't. Said players also do not understand that 3 (+1 pink) wards are far from enough to cover the whole map. These players even rely on their trinkets and claim that they "always ward" despite their warding efforts, which are practically nil and even less than helpful.
rekd11 votesSeriously. At first I thought you were serious, then I got to the third paragraph and realized you were being sarcastic. Don't worry, your sarcasm is just too advanced for most plebs

I noticed eventually but the sad thing is you can never be sure with this community. Last summer I remember seeing a couple unironic topics like that every day.
Live2LetDie3 votessups win games, not saying that just because i main support but we are the ones the are primary vision, heals, and defense for the adc. Support is so underrated, which would be bad, but im almost guaranteed my role.
Lost R2 votesI'm a support main, too, but sometimes I want to play another role (hell, sometimes I'd like to play another champion, but when everyone on the team goes all assassin to the point that slows are treated like gold bricks, you're getting shoehorned into one of three champions, and that's without bans. In draft pick and ranked, God help you.). Yesterday I wanted to try out new Tristana, got the ADC role, but no one wanted to support, and in the first game, everyone went all assassin. That is unbelievably TOXIC for the game, if no one is willing to compromise or play any role other than the one, and all the teamwork and cooperation is dependent on a singular person picking one role, or even one champion in order to cover up all of the weaknesses and shortfalls of an entire team.
WolfBV3 votesWhy should I respect supports more than I already do?
Fırewall3 votesSupport main here. Thanks for your support. I think I speak on behalf of all the supports that it doesn't matter how much we are trash-talked, seeing someone commend us on our effort is fuel for a month ^_^.
See you on the rift.
Ariel the Cruel2 votesThen we get the Yolo Q Kalista who burns half the tank in 30 minutes.
But otherwise, I agree.
kirbyzama3 votesThis is one of those things where I get its supposed to be a nice sentiment and I get that but me being me has to over think it. Should I only respect my support when they solo carry my games? What about my Morg support I had yesterday? She did little but die that game but I had tons of respect for her because half the time she put her self in harms way to try and help me (even though I was tristana and not in any danger). She was positive and friendly even though she basically got carried (I kinda was too 7/1 isn't as good as our 18 kill Vi) I have more respect for a positive attitude then a positive kda.
What about when your support treats you like dirt? They can be the best support in the world and I won't respect them. And we all know supports are just as capable as raging as anyone else. What if leona goes in alone while everyone is dead or low and throws? Respect is something earned through exceptionalism not demanded for playing a certain role. Half the reason I don't like other adc mains or jungle mains is they often come off as demanding respect even if they don't do anything to earn it. Also with how many "Respect the Supports" threads I see they hardly seem to be the thankless job they were when I started playing. Still not as appreciated as it probably should (unless you play a god-like thresh) but the job is hardly thankless. Sorry if that came off as sounding mean I love supports and most supports I get are nice. I just wanted to bring some realism into the hug box.

Well she was making money, lots of it,
Miku Lv992 votesSupports win games. Assuming no one is strong enough to just carry the team, the support is actually one of the roles that can have a bigger impact on who wins than most other roles, espeically at low elo. They provide the vision. This means your allies don't get caught nearly as much. And your team has much more of an ability to catch them. Not only that, but you can often get some enemies chasing you when you go to ward, and then they chase you to their death and you just made another play for your team. So yes, because of this, even supports that you thought couldn't make plays for your team still can. And they don't get as much credit as they deserve, especially for these kind of plays.
RogueWill1 votesAfter Junglers, main supports are usually the players with more map awareness (being adc the one with the worst followed close by top players). Since they do no damage or little damage position is really important for them as it allows them to either give utility without being killed or being able to shield your carries(if you are a tank). the lane phase is probably the easy part and teh less important of being support and is what most casual supports consider the main use of the support.
Spacesuit Spiff2 votesSupport: the role where you can kinda sorta get away with standing around doing nothing, but if the other support doesn't also, you're sure as hell not winning the game.
I had this Ashe today who wasn't familiar with adc, and I noticed she was missing a lot of cs. So instead of just defending her and trying to survive the lane against odds, I went ham on the enemy botlane (Draven and Morgana), and eventually whittled them down with smart trades, threw them out of lane multiple times, and killed Draven's stacks a couple of times before he cashed them in during midgame. Won lane, even though Ashe had maybe half of Draven's cs just from missing most of the last-hits.
That's what a support can do, and even though people can occasionally get carried by sitting bot and doing nothing, the people who support properly can have a pretty huge influence on games if you aren't low elo (since you need an adc that doesn't keep dying every 10 seconds no matter what you do, which are pretty rare in silver/bronze)
AbstracT Theory2 votesyet support placed the fewest wards on your team... sigh warding is important
AetherKingdom1 votesSupport is hella easy though. inb4 i'm not a support main
RogueWill5 votesAverage support is easy, good support is hard. You can feel the difference between an average support and a great support.
AetherKingdom1 votesNot really. Supporting isn't hard at any level. unless you're the god himself, bunny fufuu
Buttigieg 20201 votesI main adc and idk what everybody loves about supports. They are useless and I would rather 1v2 bot lane then have a support. They just die when I'm not there, not to mention they always take my kills and cs.
SuperSourCat1 votesDie pls 
A Superb Villain1 votesSupports are a blessing and I respect anyone who undertakes such a thankless task.
junglerboy161 votesI totally appreciate this (support is my second most played role after jungle).
Toa of Death1 votesFor all you support mains, thank you. Supports have saved my ass so many times I've lost count. You guys are the real MVPs.

I get your under appreciated and not respected, but why do these have to appear every day saying the same thing.
