Support, do everything!
If this continues, then no one will be allowed to say that the support is the worthless class anymore under penalty of law.
I point this out repeatedly that the support shouldn't be the one doing everything that ISN'T damage, and with each passing month, the number of things that the team expects me to do increases dramatically, overlapping into other roles that certain champions just can't do (being the healer as Braum or Thresh, or being the tank/frontliner as Soraka or Nami) and would be obscenely retarded to do so.
The extreme emphasis on damage and nothing else has made the role a horribly toxic thing to play, and yet I'm the only one who will ever willingly play the role in any queue I join. If we require a tank, I have only a handful of choices, but the behavior of my allies ends up dooming most of the available options. I can't really choose Leona or Thresh anymore because initiating any fight, even when I'm ordered to, causes my entire team to scatter off in the opposite direction or wait it out until some nebulous opportune moment (AKA after the tanks and other frontliners are dead) before charging into certain doom themselves because that opportune moment has already passed. Braum, which was my first last and only option for the longest time was recently made nonviable when people completely forgot that they can add and finish his passive stacks on the enemy, and that it does not in fact steal the kill, even as they're running away from the enemy jungler with 3 stacks on him and I'm holding back two more. Mages are even falling out of favor now because whenever I move to apply a buff or a heal or, you know, ANYTHING to save the life of my allies as they're engaged in the enemy, they'll do anything in their power to get away from me as if I'M the enemy as well. And then I'm expected to babysit them the entire time, even as the ADC is trying to kite Gromp for half a minute. We don't need an entire senatorial committee to clear out JUNGLE CAMPS.
There have been too many times when, even as the support, I'm the only one who is actually bothering to make a push while my team is sitting in the fountain or the jungle while 80% of all our turrets are still up, basic attacking one camp of monsters. I've dealt with five man camps as a SUPPORT for minutes at a time while I'm calling for help or pinging neglected lanes, hoping to god someone buys a clue and pushes, or comes to assist.
And in the middle of all this, I need to buy everything that the team could possibly want or need. Wards, crowd control, cooldown reduction, healing, shields, other utility items, armor, health, magic resist, and so on while the rest of the team focuses on damage, and 95% of the time, ONLY damage. There are only six item slots not including the trinket slot, but on an average game, only focusing on support items, the team demands ten different items at the very least. Wards on the field are capped at 3 per player, but people think the Sightstone somehow bypasses that limit. Recalling almost two years ago now became such an opulent luxury I'm expected to go leading the charge into the next teamfight IMMEDIATELY, even if I have less than 10 HP and no mana, and prepare to get reported if I don't. To say I'm overclocking every game as a support is the most extreme understatements in this millennium.
Not sure what the hell you have to do to become that disconnected with reality that the support is considered a filthy worthless role, and at the same time expect them to carry an ocean's worth of water for a team that is so overspecialized it borders on parody, and ignoring game rules and champion mechanics that have been around for over a year now, but it's driving me up a wall that no one notices this.
one our newest supports, allows quick travel for all teammates. whether with his W or E, he can speed up MS. need a heal, he leaves a heal ready for you to get back into action. enemies closing in, his stun will stop them, and his never ceasing to grow passive damage slow will make them think twice. don't forget that he can stop a battle to favor allies.
when Braum is here, we have someone to take the damage. using his body or shield, he can withstand anything. something strong coming, block it with your W. enemy getting away, slow them with your Q or knock up R. you can stun a enemy if you hit them 4 times. getting ganked, get close to your ally and give each other some bonus armor and magic resist.
giving great bursts, Janna can allow a ally to deal good damage with her E. enemy getting away, slow them with your W or knock them up with your Q. ally low in health? heal then with your incredible R. enemies trying to gank? knock them back with R or up with Q. ally about to die, shield them with your E.
giving boosts of power, you can easily overwhelm enemies. slow enemies with your Q. transform enemies into animals with your W or give bonus MS to your ally. shield your ally with your E or see where a enemy will go with it. enemy getting ganked or low on health, use your R and give them a large bonus amount of health and size (plus range) for 7 seconds. they can barely get away.
need a gap closer, here's one right here. stun enemies with your Q. take health and give it with your W. give bonus damage to allies. enemies getting away? send out a mighty wave to slow them down. ally trying to catch a enemy? speed them up with just 1 spell. W or E, it doesn't matter which.
though great in jungles, he is better with a ally. weaken minions with his Q, or heal from taking a lot of damage. speed up MS and AS with his W. slow enemies MS and AS with his E. or slow multiple enemies with his R to allow your ally to get them all. all you need to do is weaken them.
may not speak, but her actions are louder than any champion. she comes equipped with a great heal plus a shield for allies and herself. she can deal damage to enemies to weaken them. gives bonus MS to allies and slows enemies with her next basic attack. want to get enemies with little hassle? just use her R to stun them for 1.5 seconds.
is one who sacrifices herself for others. she shows this in her health sacrifice to give lots of health constantly to allies. don't worry though, her Q will give back health once it hits a enemy, or you can R it back while healing everyone else in the process. no matter how far they are. you are also one of the few allowed to have a silence that can snare.
is our newest friends from the deep. he can slow or stun enemies with the flick of a tongue. need someone to carry you to safety or into the battle with no damage? he can carry you in his mouth and he'll take all the damage for you. or, under circumstances, he can carry a enemy to us. his e allows him to gain back half the health he once had, or more. and his R allows instant travel for him and a ally.
want someone that is a fair version of Blitzcrank? Well, there really isn't one but Thresh is close enough. stun enemies, as you pull them in for the next 1.5 seconds. slow them so they can't get away. shield allies and lead them to you with your lantern. gain the souls of the dead for bonus armor. want to slow multiple close enemies from getting away or to your ally, R them. the slow lasts long and weakens the enemy by a lot.
is the eldest and most knowledgeable of the support or champions in general. he gives boosts in EXP gain, so faster leveling. weaken and stun enemies with your Q. slow enemies down for long periods or speed up allies to get away or close in gaps. W yourself to allow a double of what your abilities could do. ally about to die, R them so they can revive and destroy once more.
I split push all the time as support! It feels even better to be a split push support when they take an AP top laner! :D
in my opinion is the support with the best kit as a generalizer, the con of this is that you don't really excel at anything either you are average. You need a tank, he is naturally tanky with his R, you need a healer, get some mana or mana regen and you can roar for ages. Utilities items don't scale so bad with him because again he is tanky with his R so you can just initiate when it is up. adc in trouble headbut them away.
