Support extra rewards?

The problem with supports is identified finally. For those who don't know:

Supports are not weak, they are a rather strong class. No need major changes. Some tweaks are always welcome.

However, because they can't carry a game (unless they take kills and farm, which they should not do) they loose more matches than others, so their rank is lower than they deserved. They have less freedom (options) and more duties than other classes. They are needed though and removing them from the game would make it less interesting.

Lots of duties and no rewards is not interesting for most players. Perhaps some extra rewards could improve the situation. Some ideas:

extra ip (double?)
extra chests (after N games played as support)

What do you think what could attract more people to play supports?

I mean sure it would get more people to play the Support for a time. Then once they get a chest (since you can only get one per champion per season) they'll stop playing it. it doesnt actually solve the problem, But as someone who plays Support a lot i wouldnt want it to be popular since i like getting into queues faster!

Or change the meta and completely remove support items :).

lolwhat bother to check winrates of support champs, they are among the highest currently by champion.gg:

janna - 54.53% sion (as a support) - 54.53% brand (as a support) - 53.57% zyra - 53.01% soraka - 52.44% sona - 52.41%

I play game to have fun, not to farm IP.

your ideas do not make the game-play more rewarding.

I play Bard the most. I also do not win with him as much as I do with other characters. But I am having more fun winning with Bard than I have winning with Nami. Actually I am not playing at my best level because I should pick Alistar or Lulu every time to get best results. But I get bard because he is more fun when I win and I am ok with losing more to have the wins more satisfying.
