Support life in 3v3 [...awful & not rewarding]

Write my thoughts ...it says. I could talk about this all-day long, since I've been supporting for 5 years almost, but people don't like long posts, so I'll keep it short. How depressing this is made me post my thoughts. (To the NA forum so someone may just notice it)

Hi guys, So there is this map, called Twisted Treeline. My friends and I like to play it competitive and I'm the support in the team. Being a support on 3v3 is just like being one on 5v5, but here you can't get a higher champion score than a B+ and at least 1 of your teammates get an S every game. You cannot really say that I'm bad or anything like that, we reached Diamond last season as a team fairly easily. I play my very best each game, I often end up with stats of 4/2/14 B+ (72% KP), 0/0/5 (71% KP B). My KP is between 70-100%, yet I** have not had an S or S-** in 3v3 so far, not even an A or A+.

Just stats of a game for example, so you know what I'm talking about (normal actually - we play 99% ranked flex): > 20:20 mins > //// Our team 25/10/30 > Camille (supp) - 4/2/14 - 72% KP - 9.0KDA - 49cs - 7,972 gold - B+ > Jarvan (AD top) - 12/5/6 - 72% KP - 3.6KDA - 200cs - 13,108 gold - S > Gragas (AP bot) - 9/3/10 - 76% KP - 6.3KDA - 147cs - 10,205 gold - S > //// Opponent team 10/25/8 > Darius (top) - 3/9/4 - 111cs - 7,023 gold > Jarvan (jungle) - 4/7/4 - 86cs - 7,862 gold > Azir (bot) - 3/9/0 - 87cs - 6,136 gold

Is the support champion score so heavily dependent on ward score? If so, please rework that factor for 3v3, because this is just sad and depressing, that a support cannot get what they deserve meanwhile they being the core part of a team in most cases. We usually just joke about it, saying 'That's Support Life'. Sad.

Presumably it's (the lack of) gold. Riot's grading algorithm is most likely grading you as a solo-lane champ rather than as a support. Ideally, the algorithm would be updated to consider the possibility of a support.
