What is the role of the support?

I have recently asked myself why is the support role least played? Imo the support character has a very important role in lol. Support is the main play maker bot lane if you have a good support he can spoon feed the adc kills, Initiate fights that can turn the tide in battle, and let's not forget the vision u need to get picks off in the jungle or set up objectives like baron and drag. So, any suggestions on why the support role is the least sought out?

People believe that a support can't carry a game. They neglect their Importants. And playing a support puts you at the mercy of your team for actually earning a victory.

so no one will play a support because they can't do damage, and if the do do damage, they get nerfed for doing so.

I main support in ranked, because that puts me in the best position to control vision on our side of the map. I also will often dictate the pace of fighting as the support as I'm either tank support or hard engage AP support. So unfortunately I don't' have the answer why people don't enjoy it.

I think support is the least liked role because people don't like the idea of putting their trust into others, so they like going in other roles that do damage instead of helping with vision and peeling. That's why you always see people saying "gg can't carry this noob team".

Supports pretty much dominate early bot laning, and can spoonfeed their adc kills. But then if the adc is bad they won't know how to properly use the gold they were given.

Supports support the whole team.

Team = / = this one ADC
