Support viewpoint from a support main

Am I the only one who kinda misses being the "warding bitch?" I mean here me out, back in s3 when supports could ward unlimited, I felt like I had more control and influence in the game. I felt like that was part of the support role, and it was actually something I liked. Now a days people always complain halfway through the game "we need to ward more, support what r u doing?" Sorry but I already have my 3 sightstone wards, and a pink out that's all I can do now.

I just feel less influential as a support knowing that I can't contribute to vision as much as I previously could. Bot lane is honestly either a boring farming simulator, or a melting pot of non stop ganks, roams, and tp's because usually bot lane is decided the moment one adc gets a kill over the other since by the time they respawn and get to lane their much more behind in cs, and possibly xp and will cheese when they hit 6 before us.

Personally I think the support role is going downhill, and the support utility ap ratio rework thing didn't do anything to help us feel more useful, but in fact hurt some support. And the moment mages started going support, I felt the role wasn't even "support" anymore. Seeing Brand/Annie support really stired things up, but in the end I think it was a huge message that Riot should of noticed and it was a cry for help for the supports.

Support is in desperate need for a rework, and I can only hope they are next after the mages, even though they're probably last on the list to worry about.

This thread was just supposed to be about warding, but I feel there's just so much more to talk about with the support role. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's because my favorite support (Sona) isn't in the spot I believe she could be in, but that's a discussion for a whole new thread.

This thread will probably get downvoted once, and then lost into oblivion, but I hope maybe someone out there can relate with me.
