I hate support, it is so boring and stupid.
How do you have fun with this role? Like seriously. I'm not bad at it really, I do pretty well most of the time when I'm forced to supp, but its 40min wasted and I lose most of time really. My lane usually does fairly well, we never dominate, but we sure do at least sustain and not feed our asses off early. People say "Play an aggressive supp, they can do something", that is bs. Do you ever see a Leona support 1 or 2 shotting the enemy? No. Their carry has to be ass if they lose a 1 v 1 to a supp. The only way you can MAYBE do damage as a supp is if you go full AP with a certain type like Annie or Brand or Lux. But even still you have to build a damn gold income item and a sightstone, that takes up 2 slots, not to mention you get no farm. Its just walking back and forth like a r%%%%% in lane throwing hooks and snares hoping to god that one hits OR its sit back and spam that heal that you have when your adc decides its time to go full r%%%%%. The amount of bullshit that people say "When you play supp you can actually carry the lane by making plays and locking down the enemy to get your carries fed", that line right there at the end "to get your carries fed" is the one that pisses me off the most. Why the hell would I want to trust some stranger to get the kill and be the person who would have the fate of the game rested in their hands because they have to be the one to shred everyone else. I understand if you were in a team and you have a friend you can trust, but even still you're not getting kills either way. The game might be a team game, but no one is gonna do shit for you, you have to carry yourself, you can't trust anyone in solo q. Literally a support has to put all their trust into the adc thinking "Oh god please let this adc be able to carry me". I have lost numerous games because of the "R%%%%% Vayne That Could", or it could even be another lane that someone loses cause they aren't good enough. As supp, I have no power to help them, I can't go to their lane and risk wasting my time if we don't get the kill. That leaves the adc bot where they think 2 v 1 is a good option.
Killing = Winning. Now you might be saying "NO, TOWERS WIN GAMES AND OBJECTIVES", and I understand that. But how do you get to those objectives, I'm sure the enemy won't just let you walk to drag or baron or a tower and take it will they? You have to put up the fight. Kills come before everything, literally. You can't take baron without killing, you can't take that inhib tower without fighting for it. You try to win a game without killing A SINGLE ENEMY, see how it works out for you.
Just point blank, every other role is superior to supp, in every role you farm, kill, and deal the damage to take towers and be a threat to the enemy team. As supp you do none of that, most of the time I see teams literally walking past the supp to kill everyone else, like they aren't even a part of the game. I swear I was playing Katarina or Zed and I completely forgot that their supp even existed until he was the last one left in the teamfight.
The game just isn't enjoyable if you're not deleting the other person. No one goes "FIRST PICK? OH BOY IM GUARANTEED SUPP" Everyone likes to do the damage, me especially. I have about 24 pentas this season alone (Don't believe me? You can check) and none of them have come from playing supp.
