All of the Support Complaint Lists have 4 Things in Common

Lack of Gold. Lack of levels. Lack of items and choices (ties in with lack of gold). Lack of respect from team mates. This needs to stop or be addressed.

They all have 1 thing in common:

They come from people who did not know the ward bitch era and thus do not know what truly starved means.

Also, lack of respect from teammates is an issue common to all roles, everybody gets assholes once in a while.

At least when they were ward bitches they could actually put out enough wards to provide vision for the team. Now that wards are limited, people still complain "WTF NO WARDS GG BAD SUPPORT". When you have 3/3 wards out and a Pink ward out.

This literally has not happened to me since late S4/early S5. Play with better people?

And I'd rather get the "wow no vision gg support" comment now that these people look retarded for saying it due to the ward cap on everyone than back then when I had 20 wards out on the map and they still managed to get caught in the one dark spot left, found the nerves to blame me, and had 3 people to back them up because obviously 20 wards out is not enough.

Just because you got lucky doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Well you know. Matchmaking.

now that these people look retarded for saying ("wow no vision gg support") due to the ward cap on everyone

Yes. They look retarded. They still say it. And proceed to not use their trinket or buy a pink ward. Then blame the support for no wards.

I play support every game unless I really am forced by the queue to play something else. I've never willingly chosen another role, and yet it never happened to me once people got used to the vision system. That's some crazy luck I've been having.

I never have a problem with that. Are you sure it's not just people being people in general?

There are 4 sources of gold and 5 teammates. Do the math, and of course at least ONE person will have less gold than usual. That is the support.
Learn how to control roaming patterns, please. Also, refer to #1.
There are plenty of choices for people to build, they just have to think outside the box.
Every role gets that to some extent.

They just feel the need to complain because they don't know that you can't just use "muh flashy mechanics" and expect to do well as supports. Also, it's much worse back in the days of season 3.

Supports need gold as well. Support items on average are 2k+ gold each.
Roaming patterns have nothing to do with levels. Especially when you end the game when everyone is level 18 and the supports are level 14/15. That is a problem.
Choices to build usually consist of OR paired with . The other options are (not very usefull unless playing janna or soraka) and maybe even (rarely). Those are the expected builds. Other than that, you have the options to be tanky or damage. There are no more items to help your team. Your kit generally doesnt do that much.
Not nearly as much as Support. Play Zil, put ult on wrong person once, reported by that person. Play soraka, heal while someone is full HP, reported by that person. Ward bot side, top reports you for no wards. No engage? Report. No peel? Report. Accidently get a kill? Report because it's the ADCs kill.
