Tired of Supports that don't ward?

Switch to Support.

I used to play mostly Top Lane, and it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. However, I found the same problem ruining our late games; our support was building damage and not buying wards. Almost every time I won lane but lost the game, it was because we didn't have enough vision in the mid game. I had my fair share of asking people to buy wards, I would sometimes buy more myself but it was never working. So, I decided...let's try and support. Started doing that with a main purpose in mind of warding. I would rush Mobi Boots and Sightstone and get as much vision as I could. Once I hit the mid game, I made sure I had a pink ward on the map and a bunch of Green wards in my inventory at all times to ensure that I keep vision up and could move enough vision around whatever objective we needed. I played how I wanted my supports to play when I played top lane. I started winning a whole lot more games and just genuinely having more fun. Support is a role that, at least at lower levels, is very under appreciated and, quite frankly, incorrectly used. When it used correctly, it is so much more fun.

I also hear many people complain when an enemy support builds full damage and is like another ap carry. This is the ultimate way to counter that. If the enemy support is building all damage, that means they will have significantly less vision and your team will be much more likely to succeed. So, if a lack of vision because of Supports playing the role wrong is frustrating you like it did me, just play Support, do what you would want your support to do, and I think you would have a lot more fun.
