How to get more people to play support.
Simple... award a small amount of RP for each time you play a support game while using dynamic queue.
Or an increased chance of key frags.

Simple abuse case... queue support, play whatever you want, however you want, and get free RP for it...
Or more support champions. Or more gold from gold items that are useless to other roles.
In almost every game supporting role is one of hardest to find. The problem is human mentality. Everyone wants to deal dmg, but noone wants to support somebody who deal dmg. This is reason why there is so many womans that play support. They have it in genetics to assist, but not carry (ofc not all of them :) )
The good solution would be just better League Point reward or smaller amount of lost LP after failmatch, in momentu you choose "Fill" option.
Personally I don't want them to make support too popular. I do like playing support and getting into games fast. Personally though of the list I just don't see that happening. RP would just give bots much more advantage to use their programs!
Chances of key frag would be unfair towards people who don't regular play support and make them basically force to play a role they don't want just to get key frags! Then there is the whole power. They obviously cannot give us more power because what's stopping other roles from the item? We already had a nerf thanks to mid using frost queen claim!
The only way you could possible give them power while not giving it to others is to do like Jungle and have items only available if you have say Exhaust!
Riot said they would consider giving incentives to those who picked support/fill if not enough people were picking them. But this was also the same time that Riot said they would bring back solo queue a few weeks after dynamic queue. So this concept comes from the era of lying to the players about critical issues.
