I have thought of several questions upon reading the smite nunu thread(s) and I hope to find some answers

first question how much is the support allowed to roam?(e.g. 5 minutes in the first 20 minutes and is then free to roam wherever after? 10 out of 30 minutes? etc, etc)

second question in a blind pick game if the other 4 call and instalock adc, jungle, mid, and top. can you call 2nd jungle and not be forced to go support? (and not be reported/banned for it?)

3rd question I mainly play unranked 3 v 3 games. if I decide to play ranked there and the first 2 people in the draft call top and bot lanes, do I have to go jungle or can I go support without getting reported/banned for it? (there's no role delegation here)

question 4 when can we expect (if any) more role selection in the new draft/champ select? (e.g. 2nd jungle or duo top(instead of jungling, etc, etc)

question 5 if I remember correctly the problem with the support nunu is that the majority of his team wasn't on board with his idea. can I grab 2 or 3 friends join a ranked game and make the jungler go duo top cause the majority of the team doesn't want a jungler?

question 6 what is the support "suppose" to do? (is it to babysit the adc 24/7?)

thanks for reading, I'm sure ill think of some more questions but this is it for now. thanks for sharing your opinion's on this matter

sorry if this is in the wrong section but this is my first post and I'm not sure where this would go :(

how much is the support allowed to roam?

It's always going to be a case-by-case basis, determined by things such as how well your ADC can handle farming in a 1v2 and how much pressure or kill potential you're actually able to put elsewhere. If you want to leave but your ADC is going to get dove and killed, don't leave yet.

in a blind pick game

Blind Pick is a clown fiesta, you have to compromise and take a lane you don't want sometimes. The 1-1-2 +jungle meta holds in Blind Pick just as much as it does in Draft; Draft merely allows the players to get their preferred role(s) more frequently and makes sure everyone knows exactly who gets what without any argument. If the team is ok with a double jungle strategy, go for it! You can do that in Draft too, though people more often prefer to stick with the tried and true meta.

3 v 3 games. if I decide to play ranked there and the first 2 people in the draft call top and bot lanes, do I have to go jungle

I have no idea, I recommend working that out with your team and just learning it as you play. Some may be open to a duo bot while others are adamantly against it.

when can we expect (if any) more role selection in the new draft/champ select

I'd dismiss those ideas if I were you. Nobody has suggested something like this is a possibility. However, like I said before you can do off-meta lanes if you work it out with your team. Playing in a premade is the best way to accomplish this, as you can agree on this while building your team instead of in champ select.

can I grab 2 or 3 friends join a ranked game and make the jungler go duo top

I think you know the answer to this. It isn't about a majority rule in an individual match, it's nearly the entire community of League that has a problem with disrupting the game like that. Forcing someone out of their role is harassment and can get you banned. Again, you can discuss the option with your team, but you can't make them do it.

what is the support "suppose" to do?

"Support" in terms of the bot lane does babysit the ADC, but like I said before in regards to roaming you can and should help where you're needed most when your ADC doesn't need your protection/lane pressure. Learning where you need to be and being there on time is an acquired skill.
