Getting tired of support, don’t know what to do.

Hello I’m currently plat 3 been playing support since season 2 but recently started ranking, seriously. In the beginning, I was climbing really hard as support and I had friends who said I could easily get to diamond. Lately though, It feels like I have had a falling out of the role. It just is not fun for me, but I play it cause I’m p3 and all my friends know me as a really good support but as of recently I can’t even play role correctly anymore and I think it’s cause I don’t enjoy it. Now it feels I don’t even belong in plat 3 and deserve to be in gold. I know I’m performing bad even my friends agree that I am not playing the role like I use too

I really like Nunu Jungle though and have alot of fun playing it but at the same time I don’t want to give up my support role to become a nunu jungle main since I’ve spent so hard reaching this point. Especially since I’m so close to diamond. It’s kinda depressing how bad I’ve gotten since I know I can perform better. I have no idea what to do. Should I give up support for awhile? :(

If you don't enjoy playing the role, you may not play it as well as you could. Maybe when you were doing it well it was because you enjoyed it more. But you can't really make yourself enjoy a role that you just don't enjoy. For instance I'd never do well in jungle because I just don't enjoy it. I like laning much better.

Take a week off and see if you can get back into enjoying it, or if not, take a week or two away from ranked and play normals in a new role and try out some new champions and see what clicks with you.

Better to test out new things in normals until you find your groove again then try to find it in ranked and have to make the climb back up from mid gold if you go on a big losing streak that could have been avoided.

As a fellow support main (or trying-to-be support main...I feel like I have ever so much more to learn) I give you all my support and don't give up if you don't want to!

If you like Nunu so much have you tried playing him support? Maybe switch your support roster? Just not enjoying who you're playing?

Think about what you're not liking about it anymore. Make a list...sometimes putting it down into writing helps

Have you tried taking a few days or a week off? Maybe you just need some time away?
