Support is the hardest role in the game
People really have trouble locking in the right champions.

Because you're the one role who has to counterbalance not just the enemy's team, but your own. And when you are in a team full of ADCs and AD melee burst assassins against a relatively balanced (or completely counterbalanced against your team's composition) team, it creates the kind of sink-or-swim environment where the supports become extremely out-of-depth for their ranking.
That's yet another concept alien to League players. Everyone talks about boosted players, but nobody thinks about the out-of-depth players.
The only time I find it hard is when Ezreal is right next to me.
I'd say it, just like any other role, depends on the team and match-ups.
And then there's some champions that are just brain-dead in terms of mechanics.
