My Love of Support
First, let me state that I am unranked and only play League for fun, but every game, I try to help bring my team to victory. I main the support role and with that, I have a certain pride that comes with playing the least desired role of the game.
I love the feeling of rescuing my team from certain devastation. I am always willing to risk my life to make certain key players in my team make it out of a fray in one piece.
Being a support main is about filling that certain niche in a team that we all need. I am able to express my protective nature in this role and I love to compliment my team's hard work (especially when it results in a kill). It also means willing to go into a fight knowing that, you yourself, are not to try to get a kill, but give them. This is likely the most off-putting feature about support many people notice. This is never an issue for me because for the most part, people recognize me for my aid to the team as a whole. Many would say playing support is boring and that you have nothing to do but babysit your ADC, which is simply not how I see it. I've always enjoyed the role from my start on
, taking hits and getting those awesome stuns off. I have, however, ventured into expanding my support pool and began playing poke supports such as
and
, and let me tell you, it is never boring looking for angles to poke and play aggressive from. I love to zone enemies from farm and love to see my ADC's CS soar. All in all, support is easily my favorite role to play in League of Legends, and I enjoy the certain level of respect a competent support can earn from their ADC and team.
