Saying counterjungling is supporting is the same as saying wave clearing is supporting

rEEeEeEe why isn't the support glued to me from minute 1????!?!?!?!?!?!
Lets see, wave clearing gives your team gold, prevents towers being taken...yup, supportive behavior.
its actually not... one removes exp and farm from the enemy team, while one removes farm from the ally team
support is a vague term. theres map pressure, vision, objective control, counter jungling, peel, ganking, roamer, poke, engage.
its up to a team to decide what the support is meant to do.
unfortunately riot sees "support" as "adc slave"
because when my "support" goes 6 damage items and rages that he didn't get mid lane, no sightstone, and finds himself 0/11 thats not inting in riots eyes. oh no, running into 1v5 and suiciding is not inting. riot says so. hes the "support" his KDA is supposed to be low. while 4/5 of us say "build a sight stone, stop fighting"
Maybe if you acutally learned to support, you wouldn't confuse jungling with supporting.
As the support player I get to say what support is or is not. im not saying i am the authority on the subject: i am saying it is my function in the game to make that decision.
