I have played 146 games of support since season 5. Riot has been killing support ever since. MAKE SUPPORT FUN AGAIN!

(or don't expect another penny from me)

Support, at least, in low ELO (Gold and below) is a nightmare. It's the funnest role in the game probably when you have a good team, but that at best happens 50% of the time. Getting a good ADC is probably about 30% of the time, which makes it even worse. And now with premades (taking all other positions of course) the support is the go-to guy when the premade ADC sucks donkey ass and tries to tower dive at level 2.

Riot needs to stop treating the symptom and start treating the disease.

So far, their main "solutions" to support not being fun to play for 95% of the population is to either find ways for people to avoid playing support or find ways to "sneak" people into playing the support role they don't want to play.

The fact that people don't want to play support is a symptom of the fact that people do not find that role enjoyable to play.

If Riot had just focused on making support an actual fun role for the majority of players, they would never have needed to invent Teambuilder/Dynamic Queue, warding trinkets/sightstones, and other various junk that doesn't fix the core problem in the first place. People do not like spending half the game playing their failed warding mini-game "chores" and having no gold or levels.

Surely Riot can figure some other way to distribute vision around the map and other ways to prevent high CC characters from being too strong; they have had years now.

tbh it depends on what u think is fun

i like playing support janna/thresh/shen/trundle(if i had fucking trundle omg)

and most of the time when ur adc and u both outplay a 3 man tower dive it feels rlly osm and u snowball the game like crazy so even as Naut sup i can solo kill the midlaner and its just so fun...
