Support in ranked

Listen Riot, while I don't think it would be easy or honestly all that possible, support mains deserve more accessibility with ranked in lower elos. Currently this is my first season playing ranked and I'm working my way through bronze. While I've found some success in other roles, supp is mainly where I have found myself able to succeed greatly. However, constantly throughout my series's and my games I have found that no matter how great I perform or how many times I spoon feed my adc or jg kills we cannot win. I am stuck in an elo where supp players are not rewarded for putting in the effort to supp. It is literally impossible to carry as a supp main and when you have a role that crucial able to do effectively nothing without a decent team to back them up it is hard to continue playing ranked. Dynamic queue is an awful idea for supp players and it has caused me to stopped play ranked unless I can duo which isn't always an option

As a supp main myself and having the same problems as you, I have to disagree that DQ is a bad idea. Now that you can play ranked with more than just one friend, you can queue up with people whose play style you are familiar with - people who you know are good players. This way, you can queue with a team you know will win or will do well, as opposed to queueing with random people you've never played with before and hoping they do well.

This is what it's like to support in Ranked: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/2370140/pulled-under-o.gif
