What I personally find frustrating about support roles is the huge focus on warding that has lately become the standard. I don't mind buying support and aura items, but that's impossible because I have to ward al the time!

I'm not saying that wards are unnecessary, but that people should stop pretending you MUST have 3 or 4 wards placed at meaningful spots all the time, becoming 5 or 6 midgame.

Just place a ward or two and keep an eye on unwarded routes and missing-enemy calls...

This way even a support can have his share of glory. For exemple, in my latests matches I've been nearly unable to buy CDR items, which are the most important personal items for a support. Why? to get more wards. Result? When my team saw an enemy champ running in our jungle, they tried to 1vs1 him and regularly died... Sure, after a while we arrived and mosti times were able to avenge our teammate, but we could have done the same with a couple of wards...
