Well, everytime we try to play a TB game, we have to wait a very long time to get a support, so I was wondering, maybe we can motivate people to play support there if we give them a bonus, like double IP or a nice poro snack at the end of every game! :D
What say you?

How would you determine supports?
Traditional supports like Nami, Soraka, or Sona typically queue up under the support tag, but others might not. For example, Vel'koz and Zyra may queue up under mage while Braum or Leona might queue under tank.
In addition, how would you stop people from just queuing as support for the IP boost and not actually playing support. For example, if a five-man premade all queue as support but then went to the standard roles (mid, top, jungle, adc), how would you detect it and stop it? What is there to stop people from queuing as toplane support on fighters or tanks?
If Teambuilder wants Supports mains to play it, Teambuilder is going to need to change so it supports Support mains!
Any good Support player picks their champion based on the ADC and the Team composition. As such, the Support player either chooses to bounce lobby to lobby until they find a comp that works, settle for a non-ideal comp, or play another mode.
Additionally, "Support", the role that goes bot with the ADC, can be composed of "Mage", "Tank", or "Support". There's no way in the current Teambuilder to specify "NOT Marksman" and catch all these possibilities.
Teambuilder needs improved options for players before it will ever stand a chance at replacing Blind pick.
