Although this probably belongs in the Memes and Games section, I actually want to expand on this and make it into a serious discussion. Although many are right about people not wanting the Support role because you're not getting kills therefore you don't feel like you impact the game ... it's boring at times (can be) and / or the fact Supports don't get much gold therefore they struggle. It could also be that if your team is struggling themselves, you can't carry them which is a huge concern for most people.

As a Support Main who's in Gold (yeah it's not impressive but that's my feat) my biggest problem is HOW Supports are treated in general. We're people too whom do everything to ensure the ADC and team survives every encounter while warding / doing what we can to make your lives easier. Granted, not all Supports are innocent either and can be toxic (let alone not even build a Sightstone ...) but more often I find myself getting raged at or treated like i'm a bot.

This is very discouraging hence why people don't want to Support. I can't tell you how many times i've been told to leave bottom lane because the ADC was a Ashe trying to dive a Tahm Kench and Ezreal. You can't expect me to save you when we're only 1 minute into the game but you want to get kills without peeling.

I've seen ADCs go back into fights when i've died trying to save them so they could flee, or when I say "Brb warding" and suddenly they go trying to pick a 1v2 fight over CS rather than wait for the only one whom can save them. Then i've seen people rage at me for not going tank when i'm Sona .... Sona whom has a score of 0 / 2 / 12 and my ADC is 7 / 2 / 3 but because the other lanes suffer, it's my fault for not going tanky or picking a tank champion. Although it might of 'helped' that I went tank, it still wouldn't save the game if you chose a Nidalee vs a Malphite top.

Treat your Supports like people, and not rage at them for mistakes either you or BOTH of you made. If something goes wrong, look at yourself and see if it really was the Support's fault, or you got caught and died before the Support could even get the chance of saving your hide. Again Supports aren't all innocent and can either KS often to make the ADC weak, or they're toxic / making mistakes for odd reasons ... but for the good Supports that do all they can to help you get fed, to help you live, to die for you ... don't treat them like bots. They chose or playing Support to ensure you guys win and are the only role to set aside kills to make the game easier for you to obtain that win.
