How to get people to listen to you as support?

I do ok as support but recently ive had a very hard time where my teammates will not listen to a single call I make. If i ping to go in because im setting up a play they might farm, if i ward and ping for dragon 1min before its up, the jungler will go top ect.

Its not an issue when the team is ahead as its just a lost opportunity to snowball harder but if we are behind, 1 stupid fight will often lose the game.

Everyone says support can carry by setting up plays, but if my teammates ignore me totally then how do I carry on a enchanter?

I googled online and it says to get people to listen to you, you have to prove yourself by getting fed, but a support cant do that. Even if I am 0 0 5 in lane they ignore me. (my last game)

You should probably do two things (works for me):

-Positive reinforcement and jokes throughout the game to keep everyone going

-Keep a high sense of map awareness, and provide advice for others. This includes watching the map for summoner spells used and stuff

If you do this successfully for early game, your team will probably listen. And being a leader is always call. Know when to tell people to not overextend, when not to stay, etc. Just take charge with a good attitude. Works for me.

A lot don't listen to supports because ''sups think they know it all just cuz they sups no skill'' I saw this in bronze/silver right now in Gold I don't see that often anymore but play Brand when they see you are 10-0 they'll definitely listen
