User blog comment:Big Lupu/The Curse of the Supports/@comment-5955640-20130418044248

I'm under the impression that you don't know how powerful the support role can be when you do more than just wear a couple of items and buy a load of wards. I could honestly spend all day. On how my work as a support saves lives. Gets the carry fed. And provides the auras and activates that no one else but them will wear and the team desperately needs someone to do so.

I get it though. Actually no. I don't get it. The intrinsic value of being a support is supporting people in the most literal and figurative sense. The satisfcation is knowing that the menial stuff that makes the important things go down successfully couldn't be done without you. If you don't quite get that or it's really obscure to you how you can still make an impact even in late game. That's okay.

Just play carry. Hopefully you'll run into me as a support and you'll understand that all those things I did for you. Wear the defensive spells. Sacrifice myself to ensure your escape. Used up a slot to buy the Ruby Sightstone. Was because it was something I was supposed to do. And I enjoyed doing it for you.
