Supporting in a Nutshell.
in champion select
- Hmm. I wonder what role I'm going to get. (queue pops)
- (Auto filled support) Huh... Well I could play Soraka, Alistar, or Leona. Nah I'll just play a mage that can instantly burst the opposing marksman or mage.

Okay, apart from the undeniable truth this offers, it is really beginning to irritate me how much the bottom lane has gone into shambles. Supports aren't needed anymore. Players would rather have a burst mage in the bottom lane than having a useful support like thresh, Nami, Alistar, or Leona. It's a shame that the meta has turned to this option. Riot needs to implement something to reward having a support, and not a mage. Late game Zyra is currently deleting marksman and making them even more useless.
