So i had a ranked game (Somewhat positive for you pessimists ;p)
That really changed my views of supporting. A little backstory we had a trolling duo mid lane/jg. I was, of course in soloq with a gold 4 jinx who at first was very toxic to me, until i started getting her kills and she was like "Oh my god a support that peels for me yay" Needless to say i died more than id like to so i could peel .-. Eventually, i initiated fights as leona and jinx got 2 quadras and ended the game (We didnt have any dragons and i think we had 1 baron to their 2) But anyways, I have always hated supporting in ranked because i felt like i didnt make an impact, but it really gave me hope in the climb. I was able to ward safely and effectively in key areas and get jinx super fed early, which made me see that supports contribute a lot more than i thought e.e
Tl;Dr Sometimes you need to have 80 bad support games and get that really good 1 :D
