Started Playing Support Only

Just because I wanted to mix it up a bit and I was actually having fun.

I went from platinum 2 to platinum 4 in just 2 days, if I lose my next game I am going into plat 5. I am tired of playing carry roles my god I want to relax a little. Looks I'm back on the grinder.

Maybe you need a bit more practice at support before just jumping into the role on a whim. Its not immediately obvious how to play support and its not actually all that easy. I mean it certainly can be fun, making plays, clutch saving allies, A lot of supports are very reactive which is very rewarding skill wise.

I mean you might need to practice your skills beyond your mechanics, warding, map awarness, objective control, shot calling etc. Support is the ultimate test of your teamwork skills, you need to get them down.

You need to be able to quickly assess your teamates and predict thier behaviours as well as your opponents.

I played support in the past. I play it very well. I pretty much can play every role well except for jungle. Supporting isn't as complex as you make it sound because everything you state can apply to other roles. It's not hard.

If you're going to drop 3 ranks over switching to Support, It's clearly more difficult that you give it credit for.

it's obviously harder than you think if you dropped 2 tiers down already. Just learn how to spoon-feed kills to your allies by playing very aggressive supports. Blitzcrank thrives off of stupid enemies, just use him to get your ADC a kill or two, then roam, ward, and set up dragons and barons.
