Changing Main Role to Rank up more easily

Should I?

I main Support and it was a bit difficult to get out of Silver last season (as in, it didn't happen).

Considering maining Mid or ADC, which are my next best roles (and I fill when Supp is taken). Jungle I'm not that good at, and Top I'm Cardboard 5 material on a good day.

Not looking for Champion suggestions really, because I will still play to have fun and not play Flavor of the Month just to win, but I'll just toss out what I do use;

Mid: Diana, Ahri, Lissandra, Cassiopeia, Xerath. Quinn if I'm feeling feisty. ADC: Caitlyn, Sivir, Tristana. Kalista in the future once I'm comfortable with her.

Thoughts? What is your main role? Were you able to carry as Support well enough that you couldn't have done better in another role?

I expect some to automatically want to say "You can carry if you ward and roam etc." Yes, but even the greatest Support in the world is only as good as the next best person on his team; if they don't take advantage of the opportunities you open up for them, you are as much dead weight as they are.

In my opinion I think playing support is the easiest. You have to be really bad to get any blame, and you don't have to be that much better than the other support to win lane,( assuming adc's are equal skill level.) I also think that if you do swich mid would be where you should go, it has the same play style. I main mid/ support and find the two compatible. Take zyra, or morg for example, both can be played mid or bot. You did list the current op mages right now, I would think about picking up some others to learn in case they get taken.

I greatly dislike Support, but it was the role that got me to climb. I think it's the easiest role to climb out of Silver with.

That being said, I would play what you enjoy for now and spam your less-favorable role closer to the end of the season. There's tons of time to get to Gold. Just enjoy yourself for now.
