The only problem with being a support main

If you are a support that is matched with an incompetent ADC, your mmr goes way down because you spend all your time dying to save them. I'm glad I don't play ranked for this reason.

A diamond support main smurfed in bronze as Janna, Soraka and Bard (the supports with lowest solo carry potential).

He had 80% win rates and was out within a few days.

Yup. Another example is my buddy in D5 who only supported, all the way up to Gold 1. Another buddy from British Columbia who was Silver for all 3 years I knew him, then he started supporting. He's Plat 1 now just off support.

You do know that every time you make a new account you are not pushed back to the previous rank, right? Because there is no previous rank to hinder your progression. It would be fine if it was the same account with a low elo last season but that isn't the case.

every account starts at silver 5 elo.

I myself started ranked in silver 5 because I lost 5 promos.

They haven't released any information for you to even remotely know this, so how do you know this?

See, that is ranked though, and people actually care. I'm talking about norms, when some people really just don't care. My friends are tired of playing against skrubs because I'm in the game with them and my mmr says I need to be paired with lower level people.

Don't die to save them. Problem solved. Let idiots be idiots. Let them whine. They can stay in that rank.

Why would you die to save someone who is not worthy of being saved? When I have an ADC I lost all faith in, I dub him "the cannon minion" in my head and go make plays/save teammates elsewhere.

you are the teams support, not the ADCs bitch.
