No one likes support because you can't carry from support

I just started playing solo ranked this season and am currently 9-1 on Taric. I'm sure this is because my team mates carry me every single game and not because I'm a good support though because a win a support is just a free win that you had nothing to do with.

What people should be saying is that a bad support can't carry. This is the same with every position. If you are good at what you are doing and you consistently win games then you are carrying whether you are playing support with 70% kill participation keeping the map lit up all game, feeding as Singed to take every objective possible, or going 10-0 on a middle lane assassin. People saying supports can't carry are ignorant of how an ADC gets fed in the first place. The ADC doesn't get kills themselves. The support has to set it up and keep them alive. I would take a good support and bad ADC over a bad support and good ADC any day.

Problem is that the support doesn't depend on their own skill alone, they depend on their adc. Let's say you have a 50% chance that your adc is better than enemy adc, if they happen to be worse, even if you're more skilled, the best you'll get is an ''even'' lane.

I don't play support often but i do enjoy roaming supports, mostly Bard, you can actually have a huge impact on other lanes and act as a pseudo-jungler (which is perfect for me as a jung main)

Or just go duo so you reduce your chances of getting a braindead adc.

Tell that to the raka that healed our whole team like a damn legend in this game. Her total healing was higher than any one of the other player's total damage done to champs :D it was glorious.
