You shouldn't be playing support unless you enjoy it

If you want to do damage and get kills, don't play support.

Support is meant to reward players who enjoy enabling and disabling. This includes, but is not limited to, warding, soft CC, hard CC, healing, shielding, buffing, doing poke damage, blinding (for all you Teemo support players out there), and even denying vision through item 2055 and item 3364 .

If you don't find any of this entertaining, don't play support. Leave the role to someone who enjoys the role or understands it to the point they can effectively do this.

If you want to play support and don't know how, by all means, do. But don't complain that you feel like you aren't doing anything simply because of your role. You have just as much, if not more, impact than the rest of your team to make plays. Use your utility. Use your kit. Make some gaps.

Just a few tips from a support player who recently came back from a 3 year break.

Edit: TIL people think Supporting = getting all of the kills.

Good to know that the LoL community is still pretty crazy.

I am sorry but a few champs disagree with you. All fun to play support, and all can put in some good damage, as well as CC and utility.

Gurl bye, support is for us who hate CSing, but love the kills and doing damage. I play kaisa, kalista and ahri support and I love it.

Give it another season and vision will be entirely removed from the game. It's only a matter of time.
