I dare you to play support for 200 games and not get frustrated by your lack of influence on the game. Sure, you might win 10 in a row if you get luck and good teammates. But you might as well lose 10 in a row. If you play better then other supports around, you can maybe increase your win percentage to 53% or something. If you play absurdly much better, this might look different. But you can consistently outperform the enemy support and still lose half your games, and that is annoying as fuck.

EU/NA top teams are more popular and will bring more fans/viewers.

As a support main, I know what you mean. I can remember a game where I was trying to zone for my adc and he just chilled by tower since he "was a late game champ".

That being said, I honestly believe that support and jungler have the biggest impact on a game, since both of them are usually the "initiators" of a decent team comp. But more importantly, jungler/support are able to feed kills the the carries in lane, and once people are given an advantage, they generally are able to carry that to winning the lane.

Which supports have you been playing? I usually try to grab Blitz/Thresh (hehe) when I can, but after watching Mandu play Fiddle and recent surge of Nami, I've added those two to my pool, and they're never banned.

So, i am getting incredibly frustrated with support currently. I just don't feel like i have enough impact on a soloqueue game. Sure, i can win bot most of the time. Sure, i can provide lots of vision. But that doesnt't help me winning the game in any way. If i win bot, that just means that the enemy will 4-5 man dive us 2-3 times in a row and get dragons while my team does nothing useful at all. And vision doesn't help us win the game unless we are already ahead. People still manage to get caught with vision on 75% of the map, and it is just so frustrated if your top and mid feed hard while you win bot slightly.

So, which role has the most impact? I assume jungler. What is a good list of high impact junglers i can look into learning now that i have finally fallen down to plat 5 due to random BS?


Play Lux or Thresh


Do you even play ranked? Thresh is always banned. Of course i would play him if he were not. And Lux is not really a good support.


Haven't really played since I finished my promo series to Diamond a few weeks ago, too busy entertaining guests.

Thresh is banned often, but its perfectly possible to pick him up, though I wouldn't say to main him. If they keep nerfing him, I think he'll get banned even less though he'll still be really strong. Idunno what you're talking about, Lux is an amazing support.

I'm gonna have to say that they scaled it off of the skill levels of the regions... or it could be money.

You could have replaced Support with any other role and this whine wouldn't sound any different. If you don't think supports make enough of an impact, start directing plays. When you grant your team vision, ping and tell them to take objectives. If you're winning your lane as much as you say you are, chances are they will listen and follow your calls since you're doing well.
If you're just sitting in lane, start directing other lanes, when I play support and it's a more passive lane, I stare at the minimap and ping for other lanes since they might not have the luxury to pay that much attention. Each role's what you make of it, not really fair to say "I'm support therefore I have no impact"

As a jungler/support you should ALWAYS ping map movements from the other team. There's always the chance that your lanes are so focused on last hits / trades that they didn't see someone pass a ward.

i play support and 2nd or 3rd main role and have over 60% winrates with my main ones consistently (multiple seasons, this season 69% soraka 66% sona 62% taric but he got nerfed so i stopped playing him, over 200 games total i think between the 3 of them)
i also ward very little (relative to your average non-troll support)

I main jungle pretty much for this reason. I thought it would be the best role to carry with but now after playing it for a long time I'm thinking that mid is probably the best since you often won't get enough farm as a jungler to make a huge difference and even if you get your lanes ahead, people in soloQ love to throw leads.

That being said, if you're still set on becoming a jungler then I would suggest xin/eve/sej.

Xin - op early ganks and duelist.

Eve - because she's Eve. Invisible ganks/forcing pinks just by being Eve is op.

Sej - because she's a monster late game. Potential 5 man stun, has a knock up and a slow and her damage scales off max hp.

Most people in soloq try to get actual items and ward very little.

I dare you to play any type of role for 200 games and not get frustrated by your lack of influence on the game. You can impact the game equally as support, let alone any role in this game. It's just of matter how well you can utilize yourself.

thats what i do
my opinion is that 90% + of the game dying is due to poor awareness and lack of wards are used as an excuse (asusming you ward during the lane hpase and around dragon baron when relevant )

I think he's simply saying that, if you're slightly better than the average player at your level, support is the least likely one to carry with by doing well yourself. Which is probably true, assuming the other supports you're getting at least know how to ward.

If you're much better than other players in the game (even if it's just with that particular champion) then of course your win rate will go up significantly.

you're not taking into account bot lane is the most influential lane in the game because it has 2 players in it, most people hate to play support and suck at it, and supports tend to do most of the work in lane cause ads have to spend most of the time csing
this culminates to being able to carry a lane (avoiding 4 man ganks if you're fed is just awareness and not omg my team sucks btw) leading to 2 fed ppl on your team and 2 underfed ppl on your team + more likely that their jungler makes risky ganks and wastes time on your lane etc etc

most people who refuse to play support as last pick because they cant carry tend to suck because they dont understand the game if they think thats how carrying works (shayuki style do everything solo )
