How can you not like support? You can focus on all the good stuff instead of farming.

Supp main for 3 seasons!

I can see the reason why..

Normally they blame you for everything. And when I say everything, I mean every single fcking thing. If your ADC goes pretty deep and dies then you suck, because you are a noob support. If your team don't have enough vision on the map then you are the noobest noob because why don't you ward the whole map.. And the list goes on.

I love playing support. Support is my main with Morgana or Karma.

The only annoying thing is when it comes to ranked and you are in a low team. Then you have nothing to save your team from a defeat.

I'm a Leona main.

But after 40 games of the same damn character I get bored and start experimenting and start losing LP and just generally punished by the Sun Goddess for leaving her behind.

Simple. CUZ YOU DON'T GET CREDIT! Jk

Honestly I find it really simple. Ward. Make plays. Protect your carrie(s)/team. Don't die. Also...you don't have to CS. So much weight taken off my shoulders. Playing Annie support is (or more correctly WAS) fun simply because people were scared of you. Also making plays like Flash> Summon: Tibbers is REALLY FUN.
I main...the entire top lane.
I miss: Tank Rengar top, AD Nidalee, Mash Keyboard Ryze...the OPs

(Applies for SoloQ)

- You don't get credit
- You are still somewhat forced to buy certain items that leave you generally behind statwise to support your team. Could add here that you're pretty much the only one taking care of vision.
- You're reliant on AD carry
- Can't make as big plays
- It's not very action rich role damage wise. Meaning you generally can't 1v1.
- "Unimportant" role.
- Most of the players are bronze - silver where most people don't have a clue what effort supports put into the game.

May have the same point twice but I hope I don't.

-> Coming from support main.

No, Joxuu is right. I personally don't enjoy it and I'd gladly switch to another role if all my mechanics outside of bot lane weren't so horrible after 2 seasons of maining it. Also Thresh is great and super fun so I'm not in a rush to try and learn anything until I get bored of him, though I don't see that happening anytime soon as I've got over 300 games with him thus far.
