You know what would really help make support feel better to play?

Making them not so reliant on having a good ADC. When your ADC is bad you feel completely useless and you're starved of gold and EXP which is already hard to get in that role. Roaming isn't always an option either because the other lanes might not be able to follow up very well or might be losing too hard. It's kinda shitty that your performance is dictated so heavily on 1 player.

I guess this also goes the other way too. Getting a terrible support while playing ADC has got to feel like crap.

Well obviously, not having to rely on any teammate in any role as much is preferred. The important question is how do you do that?

Give supports other things to do besides babysitting adc

Supports can still roam if you communicate with your lane well and set up the lane for them to not be in as much danger, like wait until the enemy goes back shove the lane and go mid while the adc buys. And after laning phase the support can protect any lane or teammate they want

I mean give them more of a proactive role instead of just being limited to helping your team. I've been playing a lot of yorick support and i like it because even if your entire team is trash you can at least push on your own where as if you're playing a traditional support like braum or zyra there's almost nothing you can do if your team falls behind to the point where you lose fights no matter how well you ult or block something.

If you want a more proactive role then play one of the other 4 roles. Why does a support need to be able to protect the team and do damage and be able to split push and everything else? Changing the role of support isn't going to change Braum and other similar champions into champions that can split push and deal tons of damage. It looks like you've already found the solution, play a champion that can do what you want to do in a game.
