Current support role gameplay

Hi, ive played league since around season 2 and ive always mained support,(to be accurate i main almost all AP supports) untill recently i took a long break from league because to be fair playing support just felt awfull to play as a whole even tho its the role i like the most of the 5.

Now recently since the start of this week ive come back to league to check up on changes etc and cuz i got bored of other games. In the few days ive played i must say i was kinda surprised how the support gameplay as a whole has improved, i no longer feel like im the "just the support" on the team that has to sacrifice everything for the other teammembers, and with some new items (yes especially ardent censer) i feel like im actually contributing in a noticable way in fights (while before the weaksauce a support offered was kinda meh tbh). Now i know there's going to be tons of replies here of ppl disagreeing with me like "ardent censer op plz nerf" and "whee i cant double kill botlane anymore when i roam there with my Zed or Yasuo BabyRage" but here's my 2 cents. Giving power to support is a thing riot had to do way earlyer if u ask me, u cant keep a teamplay game in a state for so long where 1 player always has to play the "bitchboy/girl". I hope these changes will bring back alot of support players to league that it has been losing badly over the years so it can become a balanced game instead of the state it is in now where u have top, mid, jungle and adc mains that are just forced to alternate into the support role every few games to fill the void that is the current active support main players.

On top of that i hope riot wont give in to the pressure of babies that are now crying that supports got too strong because last time i checked everyone is still advising to not play support if u wanna climb in ranked (even those same people that now ask for nerfs) . And tbh there are plenty games where "support roles" can have strong tools to help allies, even in real life war the "support guns" are often the biggest guns in the entire army so i dont see any valid point as to why the role should be kept down so hard as it has been in this game.

And if everything goes well maybe, just maybe support will become a viable role for once to start playing from day one in a new ranked season.

;tldr; Yes supports have stronger items now, but stop cryin nerf nerf, cuz any other role has theirs too and if these changes get reverted again then you just screw over the game role balance again like it has already been happening for many years now. See a support with a carry alone in a sidelane? Maybe now they can have the respect they deserve instead of having a big flashy sing over their heads that sais "FREE DOUBLE KILL". ;tldr;
