'Playing an exceptional support is all about itemization'?
Um... Yeah, lemme rephrase that for you:
'Playing League of Legends is all about itemization'.
'Most people only see supports as a healbot, a ward slave, or an aura newb.' Wow. Yes, support Blitzcrank, Nunu and Leona are definitely seen that way. How dare they.
'Your team has high expectations for a support and many fail to meet such a high expectation.'
Seriously, just leave sweeping generalisations out of the damn thing! Just because you feel that way, doesn't mean everyone else does!
'I truly believe that the support role is the number 1 most important role in the game!' - OK, let's forget the carries who, I don't know, CARRY? If the carries screw up, the support can do bugger all to win the game. Most important role? Forget that.
Take out your pictures of honours. They're only self-serving for you and pointless for everyone else. Honour has nothing to do with how you should play as support.
No armour runes in an AD lane? No scaling magic resist runes for later game? Or CDR?
TBH, the mastery point for 5% increase on wards are worthless. Take it in speed.
Your Summoner Spell ratings... wtf.
No comments on where to ward? What to ward with (Vision or Sight)? Nothing on covering jungler for first buff? Nothing on buff timers? Calling ss/mia?
If it's not misinformation, it's lack of information. You have so many bad preconceptions.
Secondly there are several mistakes in your list of supports.
Thirdly, your runes are almost completely wrong. Double gold per 10 is situational. It's only used for extremely passive babysitting supports. Plus, you broke two very important fundamental rules of runes: 1) never run AP runes without mpen reds and 2) never run AP runes on a support. The returns are generally just not worth it, especially without mpen.
