Is it even worth trying to play support?

I enjoy support, imo this role has the most diverse and interesting champion pool... However, adc, and botlane in general aren't in the best of spots right now. Also half the adc's I play with are potatoes. Can I carry my adc from the support role? If any support mains reply, why should I bother learning support and not a better off role? thanks!

Well, I feel until the meta changes enough that a support role is not necessary, .. learning support is absolutely worth while.

I think the support role is actually quite vital for the success of the bottom lane right now, although you will probably never be able to prove it to anyone how critical you were.

Honestly, that is the most unfortunate part of playing support, no glory.

You are important because you are the ADCs best chance of securing kills and surviving ganks.

So my answer is yes, but understand that you will most likely not bask in the glorious light shown on your ADC if they are successful, but you will no doubt get the spotlight if they do poorly.

Supports are, in my opinion, the true carry in a way, as they carry the ADC... And the team later in the game.

I have more fun here than with any other role. Sometimes my adc and I don't really have a synergy in play styles, and I usually lose those games really hard. I'm kind of stubborn though; If you can learn to identify and adapt to the different players' styles, you can carry bot lane in any game.

It takes not only game knowledge, but a keen sense to your teammates. :)

Successfully peeling off the 5 man ganks bot is a rewarding experience that I sometimes get to have as a janna main.
