First picking a support means my team is countered less in the roles that are more important. I'd rather pick Taric and allow my Singed not to get hard countered by Nidalee. But the reason why I have first picked Taric every single time I've been the team leader is to ensure that I control bot lane. As Taric I can protect my AD no matter what the enemy bot lane ends up being. I have a relatively low death count as most supports because I have supreme map awareness and deaths only occur in bot lane if we are 4 man ganked, or I run out of mana and can't heal or stun to save my ally or myself. I am comfortable first picking Taric and that's not about to change.

VICTORY!
Highest elo on my team, first pick Taric. Tristana and I weren't doing fantastic bot lane, but we were okay. Irelia was getting ROLLED by Singed, and Singed was carrying their team really hard. But in the end, I got a GA, Ez focused me and died and it was GG.
Funniest juke by WW though. Annie was pretty decent. I did my best, survived on like 100 HP dueling Singed and Noc for the longest time for WW to come in and ult, so that's my proudest moment 8D Moral of the story, never give up! WW was in base, yet I stayed alive long enough for him to come and net a kill from when I got caught.
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! Means a lot to me. Ranked is hard =.=
