People who think support is dumb/boring

I garantee 90% of people who say this are trying to play or .

Let me give you some advice: play or instead.

The first set are all hook-based, which means that 95% of the time, they have to land their hook, or they're a paperweight. If you suck at skillshots, then stop playing these champions. If you nerdrage easily, stop playing these champions. If you find it difficult to not feed.... stop playing these champions. Here's why: say you land a hook. Good job. Now, your adc must fight or flee, because if your blitz, youve successfully pulled that guy right to you. If you're Leona, you've successfully facechecked him. If you're naut, youve done a little of both. Thresh isnt in trouble unless you hit it again and ZOOM in there. Your ADC has to think "can we actually beat this guy or are you a tard trying to be the hook hero". And if you play passive on these champs for too long, you get antsy because...... well "dammit I can hook 'em".

Play something else, like the second set. forces you to roam, SOMETHING EVERY SUPPORT SHOULD DO!!!!!! and both give amazing peel as well as a shield or a heal WHICH ISN'T BASED ON A SKILLSHOT!! And can just spam his pillar and be so goddamn annoying and hey, YOU'RE STILL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. Please guys, if you hate support spot and play any of the 1st four listed champs, I urge you to try something else. You'll win more.

More things about supports I think you should all know about that will make anyone a better support (briefly): #1, 99% of the time your adc is more important than you, so die for them (remember i said 99% of the time). #2, its called support, NOT ADC SUPPORT!! If youre team needs you and you're sittin' not doing anything, ping caution on the adc and roam. This can be very affective, especially if the jg can't help at that time. #3, Ward like your life depended on it. Every time you recall, buy a pink ward and keep one in your pack. Buy Sightstone (SS for short), HELP YOUR JG WARD THE ENEMY JG, and I garantee you will open the door for more options. #4, as sup, you probably have the most spare time on your hands, so WATCH YOUR MINIMAP! You're sup, not adc sup, your pings should be the most pings on your team because half of your time is spent running in circles,waiting. You arent killing, you arent CSing, youre just waiting for right moments, so help your whole team!

In conclusion (as a sup main of course) I think sup is the most fun position on the map. I dont have to CS, i have no pressure to kill anyone, hell sometimes I'm running with the enemy right next to him while he's on 2% hp, just so my jg has vision and can catch him. Personally, I highly suggest , she may seem weak and she'll take a while to learn, but she's got an amazing knock-up, shes got a shield (that can be used on turrets btw) that also grants bonus atk dmg, she has a slow, and a passive that lets her move CRAZY fast, and another passive that lets you catch up to her fairly faster than normal. Her ult is mind-blowing when well placed, as well. And IMO... she makes the best bait. Squishy, alone, practically naked... who wouldn't chase that, am I right ;)

P.S. I am in now way saying any of these champs suck or are OP or that any are better than another, my point is simply to suggest a different way of playing support. works for some. Not for others.

Edit 1: Seems more examples are requested for different sups to try, so here are sups I PERSONALLY deem viable: (especially w/ kalista)

Champs I do NOT think are good sups (but others seem to, so ill ad 'em anyway): and I dont think they're good because I hate kill-stealers, they can all pretty much hold their own lane (jg or actual lane), and there are just better picks out there. Add more if you want, guys.
