Should I main ADC or support (primarily)?

Backstory: I main bot lane since I'm a newbie. I've been feeding a lot today so you can say I'm on tilt. Being on tilt makes me question myself if I really want to main support or not. I would probably main ADC if I could carry as Corki, but unfortunately when I stomp lane as Corki I can't do anything because I don't know how to carry with him. My best is Graves, but since he's FoTM now I don't really have the chance to pick him, not to mention my lack of skill with Caitlyn.

I play support because whenever I play ADC I feel like my support is useless and I should "be the change I want to see in the League community (Kappa)." I remembered how supporting got me out of Bronze I last season, but I feel really useless now. The worst thing of me as a support is that I cannot support an Ezreal. God forbid one day Ezreal becomes FoTM (Flavor of the month/current meta), man... I ward a lot, though. I'm scared of being stuck in Bronze ("if u dont belong in Bronze u wont stuck in there 4 so long xd").

TL;DR: I'm playing both equally in ranked at the moment, but I feel like I should focus on one of them. I'm just scared if I play ADC, my support's like "hurr durr I don't play support fk u adc," that's why I play both, so that I can fill. So, which one should I focus on?

Thanks...

I would say support, just because it's easier to get and less people want.

well, a good carry doesn't need a good support. if you have a dumb support you should still be able to win your lane if you are good enough. at least that's what i'm always told lol. I main Varus....times are tough.

I would say play support until you rank up a bit. Eventually people learn to play it a bit better and adc becomes the better choice if you want to carry, but never fall out of practice on support. It is the one that will most likely need to be filled and it will never hurt to have a back up in case adc is taken.

Being able to play both gives you options. Less chance of being caught in a role you can't be in . But I say this: During my short, yet victorious climb to the bottom of Bronze 1, near every game I played as Taric. I haven't seen a game in ranked where a support did horrible yet the carry handled exceptionally well. I've seen the opposite however; a strong support able to assist in team fights can assist the team better with a slacking adc (Leona and her two stuns are a great example of this).
