Is there ANY reason to play support at Low ELO?

[quote=CrazyMBP]I am SO frustrated. I always play healer/support classes in almost every game I play, and I've taken the time to get the fundamentals of playing a support in LoL down. But man. At my low ELO, is there any point? Carries go rambo, thinking you'll save em every time, and then when u cant, its your fault. Or if you die trying to save them, they walk away and complain that I died. This is on top of seeing minion after minion fall without the carry getting the last hit, even though I'm trying to give em to them. And if I take any (even those they arent gonna get) I get raged at. So frustrating. Is it even worth playing a support at like 1150 ELO? I feel like I'll be stuck here forever. Any tips would be great.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Supports are only as good as their team. You play support and your AD carry can't last hit? You now have 2 people underfarmed. You have 2 people underfarmed? You deal/heal little amounts in teamfights. You deal/heal little amounts in teamfights? You lose them. You lose them? You lose the game.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]I've always played as Sona in ranked games. Her heal has a large reach, so your carry can go rambo and you just have to stay behind spamming W.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I wouldn't. I would just tell them to pick a 1v2 champ and lock twitch and roam if they try to force me to support. I just don't trust other players to carry me and I'm pretty decent with Twitch. Lol. Also when you say that most people don't make you play the support any more so it works out. Everyone hates you but it works out.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]It's not really worth it. That ELO is more about having an OK team comp and you just playing a character you're really good at. I'm not saying everybody should lock in AD carries, but you should be able to hold your own since you can't count on others to help you. If you have a duo queue buddy you trust and he lanes with you it could work, because supports help the carry carry harder, but in solo queue it can be hard to trust your lane partner.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]^ I dont really play carries in the duo lane unless I'm duo with Mowen or Joobieo >:P[/quote]

[quote=Blydden]Play as a jungler. Its as supportive in low ELO as you can get, really. Like [[Lee Sin]], [[Fiddlesticks]], [[Warwick]], etc. :)[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Play a support champion that can carry late game. Like [[soraka]], [[janna]] or [[sona]] (buy your gold items and go towards AP as mid game starts). That way you can play those supports you love, and then help carry at the end came.[/quote]

[quote=marisi]Just only play supp when u are last pick and all other times pick the ones u are good at.[/quote]
