Lately nobody has been picking any real supports for bot lane I've been seeing things like varus,Evelyn,zed,garen, Caitlyn as supports or just duo adcs and it's actually been causing late games to fall off for that specific team ... so I the only one experiencing this in game?

i see plenty 'traditional' supports in your match history.

edit: I'll also note that you are in bronze 5, it's not considered noteworthy if the team comps in bronze 5 seem nonsensical.

Not really. I mean, "supports" are very common, but real support champions (Braum, Nami, Blitz, etc.) still show up in games. When I say "supports" I mean Brand and the like.

You have mistaken. Harass support is real support, but I give my story - why I ceased to play healwr/tank support.

I did try to play support like dps bullies wanted,but I got really frustrated as my win or loss was not in my hands, but usually totally incompetent adc did caus e loss,or rare ecperience of decent adc who treat support as equal. I tried harass dipports, and suddenly I could make the difference. I could defend tower when, not if, adc de facto suicided in desperate attempt to take kill.

I did learn to play during season 1. I learn support is mobile role like jungle going where needed. I reverted to that way, and I have plenty of comebacks. Support roöe shoild be put outside lanes, but adc players do not want to lise their scapegoat when lane is lost.

support role doesn't state you to actually directly aid the adc, but to indirectly grant vision and cc. there are tons of ways to support, so basically any champion can support, i agree though the role should not be main tagged anymore on any champion, since support role has become sub and not main.

for the record blitzcrank is a main tank sub fighter/support.

Also known as 'kill-lanes'.

Because people that get autofilled into support literally have no clue how to play support in lower elos. They just pick whatever they are comfortable playing and go for blood and it probably works about 40% of the time.

Climbing back up through plat with gem-man lately, and it's workin real good. Taric changes were just what I needed.

They should just make it 4v4 and cut out the support.
