Support mains generally can't play any other roles.

Generally. I'm a support main, and when I get thrown in other roles (IE Top/Mid) I sit back and farm. (Lux - Mid, Nasus - Top) and I generally do well and have my CS solid as hell. But when I see other support mains, they strictly only understand support. ._. It's like CSing is scary to them, or something.

I'm more of a jack of all trades. I work top, jungle or support well. Adc and mid I do meh, which might not be good unless I'm with people that can carry me.

Somewhat true. I can't 1 v 1 lane for the most part. Oddly, I lack all the aggression I normally display when I'm a Support. Even when I get stuck with ADC (usually happens in Blind), I am far more focused on CS and won't even attempt to trade while minions are around to be killed. This wouldn't be a bad thing if I actually had any sense of last hitting. Always a half second too early or a half second too late.

But every support should be able to jungle. Usually uncontested farm, tracker's knife to continue the warding game and a general sense over what are favorable gank opportunities.

More like: since now if you remotely play supp you ONLY get supp, most people tend to be rusty on other roles when they have a 30 game support streak.

I think it's moreso that a support main will play their off-roles disproportionately less than any other main would be forced to play their off-roles.

Also, if CSing was the problem, they could just jungle as their secondary... A good support would roam a lot and know how to gank, and it only takes a couple custom games to figure out a decent clear path. Should be relatively easy for a support main to second jungle.
