I just don't think I can play support in ranked solo anymore

Legit can't do anything to carry games, often don't see my jungler at all( no matter where my lane is in terms of wave position), my mid laners never play anything with priority so if I try and put pressure on the tower the enemy mid just roams bot. Even if the mid laner doesn't roam down, I know for sure the jungler's going to be there to try to gank because nobody else has pressure on the map. I can't play aggressive in lane and it just ends up losing me lane because I can't do unless I play something like or and legit 1v9. Otherwise I just have to rely on my teammates to not feed their lanes and scale (which often doesn't work). So I have no idea what to do anymore because unless I have teammates who actually want to do something before 20 minutes I'm just going to keep losing games to early game comps and have been on a 5 game losing streak.

Yeah, thats what support is supposed to be... What? Do you really expect to carry games with easiest champion class in the god damn game? Supports still need more nerfs. The more this game catered to support players the more it was frustrating and unenjoyable. If you want to CARRY THE GAME, pick A CARRY.

Then play mid or jungle, idk whats your problem.

Well? Why dont you play them? Those champions used to be mid laners so at least they take some kind of skill.

So I have no idea what to do anymore because unless I have teammates who actually want to do something before 20 minutes I'm just going to keep losing games to early game comps and have been on a 5 game losing streak.

Play mid or jungle. Support is not a carry role. Support is literally autofill role with only two champs actually being able to carry the game. Pyke and thresh. Rest of the roster is combination of cock pocketing submissive sluts and dumb tanks that fall off end game. Start playing roles and lanes that can carry and carry yourself.

I find a lot of success duo queueing with a jg as a supp and coordinating ganks

If you find a good adc that is able to carry, add them and duo. It makes a lot of things easier, also for them if they can play to their full potential than with an autofill supp. If you get ahead in lane or manage to pressure, roam mid or help your jungler. This is even easier if you play champs like Rakan or Pyke which are able to prepare kills.

https://youtu.be/U0H1ZzGsLUI https://youtu.be/et1Q33BlekI Just leaving this here for those that say support is easy. Playing with a suicidal adc is anything but easy. Both time Kalista should have been dead. In the 2nd vid I was trying to buy time for her to run when I stepped on the jinx traps.... she stayed so I held my e till jax jumped on her autofilled sup prob would have just died or used e right away leaving the jax free to get the kill.

There is no point maining support in Silver. I don't use support to carry through Silver either.

Either find a duo or play another role - or you will have a lot of trouble climbing.

For example, I have two accounts in Plat right now. One of them I play only SoloQ - I got to Plat with a 54% win rate over 200+ games.

On this account which I have a good duo partner who plays my style? I have a 60% w/r and it took only about 60 games.

if you can't stomp enemy bot lane freeze and roam mid so your mid gets fed and he can win your bot

gg you just won 2 lanes and put 3 people ahead (that probably will become 4/5 soon because a fed mid/bot will have more pressure allowing your jungler to take free objectives and counter jungle his opponent,also he could gank top)

I had the same story as a top laner. I ended up moving to Support to carry myself to the rank that was my end goal.

I did use Brand though. However, if you want a more traditional support, you can try Bard or Alistar.
