Support Rank

I don't feel like I can even help some people, they will just dive and dive and dive. I support tank and my K/D/A is awesome. I always help in a fight, I can take every ULT, spell and do 25% of the damage to the entire team with slows. It just doesn't matter how much you help some people, they will die to auto attacks alone and manage to do no damage while positioning themselves on the far side of the enemy team like a charging bot. I also feel like the game is rigged because I get landslide wins and losses, one game the entire team wins lane and the next within the first 10 mins every lane has died 4 times and are bickering with the jg who is constantly ganking there lanes. I am ready to suggest that K/D/A ratio should have a bigger factor in LP gain and loss. I don't like ADC or mid, I have my fun with tank, I just feel like there should be an escape from silver for people like me.

No doubt we've all had games with teammates who are less than ideal. I'm sure there were games where the same could be said for the enemy team. The one constant in each game is yourself. As long as you are improving and contributing to the team, you'll eventually place at the rank you belong. KDA is NOT the only thing that matters in games. Do your best not put blame others (even if they are the cause of defeat), since that is one factor we can never control. Just try to find areas you could have done better, and make the most of the game by learning from it!

Supports can single handily carry a game, went b2-p5 just as support in one season, if they play the game correctly. You want to be a tank? Then either you make God like plays, and I mean every second you are alive, or trust your teammates. That is the trade off you get for staying alive longer.

You want to carry from your role? Grab xerath, velkoz, Annie, morg, karma, etc.. Grab a sight the. Full damage and own the game. I got out of bronze and silver by doing the most damage at the support role. Even had a fizz build sight since he knew I was carrying

picking support pretty much assumes that you are putting the outcome of the game in your teammates hands the only thing you can do is help them along with that carry. If you think that is unfair don't play support, sure you can carry from support but it is much harder than any other role. This is the trade off you get for being a support main (always relying on teammates do well with what utility you bring to the table).

I also took a look at your match history and I can say that you are probably where you belong rank wise just looking at the items you are building from the support role.

With your thoughts on how "You only have fun with tank." and you don't like ADC or Mid I understand that is how you prefer to play but ranked is competitive it so if you choose to only play a tank role you shouldn't complain that you can't carry from it because you don't have to play it. In a competitive environment you should care more about winning than having fun. For most ranked players winning is fun so they play "the meta" basically what they know works.
