If you're still undecided, try playing every role until you decide which ones you want to focus on.

The one you find the most fun. The only way to keep playing and improving is to enjoy it. Support usually has least competition since you have 1.5 of them per game while all other roles are 1 per game.

Exactly.

And just to add to that - as a support (at least early and mid game) you need to have a bit more map awareness and understanding, be active around the map a bit more (with exceptions of course) - so for me I believe it was hugely beneficial to start out playing support main. Learned a lot more about how everything works together and understanding the game and map movements.

if you can learn how to control the game/have big impact as a support, you can control the game as any role

like scumbag said, i think there's a lot that you can learn from playing support for a while, mainly being that you have more time to think and also more time to type to your teammates.

i mainly did it because i wanted it to be done properly. i didn't want to overbuy wards as a 3 or 4 because my supports at the time wanted to rush items with no income from kills or lane. so they'd jungle or force kill attempts in a weird manner.
supports have huge impact in the early game, especially when starting out.

to be impactful on any role more than your average player (thus meaning your win% goes up thru you) to need to work for it and come up with a few plans on every hero you play. sometimes that just means reusing the same plans on every hero.
