People who are forced to play support should get some kind of compensation

Lets face it, barely anyone wants this shitty role. The only reason people played it before dynamic queue was that they were last pick, the only reason people play it in normal queue is because they were to slow in calling the role they really wanted and the only reason we ever get full teams in dynamic queue is that some people decide, most likely after 7 minutes in queue, "screw it, i pick support secondary"

Honestly, try it, pick support secondary and I swear you wont even see the timer since you go right into a game. Why is that? Because noone actually wants to be the ward bot. you play support because you are forced to do so!

So at least give those people some compensation. Some bonus IP or whatever. They are just wasting 20+minutes of their life so other people can have fun playing the game. Give them something.

Noone is forced to play support.

I'm a support main so I'm all for giving me free shit to do what I was going to do anyways..........but.......this post is very wrong. You only have to pick two roles. Don't want to support? Don't pick it as one of the two roles. Pretty simple. If there's any role you don't want, then don't select fill (it's beyond common knowledge that you'll be support most of the time as fill). If you get stuck as support and don't want it then it's entirely on you.

The sad part is the Support is the most important role out of all of them. Who else is going to buy sightstones, ward, and most importantly try and keep everyone alive. I've gave skins to hella good supports on my team that knew what they were doing. I pref someone who can play support because they can instead of feeling like they are obligated to.

For you to say it's a bad role makes me wanna punch through one of my computer screens.

Sometimes I wonder if they could balance the role and vision entirely if sightstone was deleted.

Seriously, that item is goddamn useful but it's so... yeah.

I'm perfectly happy playing support with a 55% winrate. Bard

Or play a support that better matches your style. There are plenty of hyper-aggressive supports out there. If the only thing that matters to you is the X in X/Y/Z, then you really need to find other stats for the value they hold. I don't like JG, so I don't play JG. I don't put in as first or second pick, so I never get JG. So you should NEVER have this problem in a dynamic queue. In normals, sounds like you either need to be faster at your call or learn to negotiate.

But in all seriousness, if you're playing normals, there's not much reason you can't take a mid-laner (or whatever) you like down there as support. If you know what you're doing, it will most likely work out to a large degree. You might be mad (like I am) that you have to "waste" a slot with sightstone, but meh.
