This is really more of a conversation about the community than the meta. The support role is as important as any other role and can be just as fun to play (especially if you find last hitting minions tedious). The issue is simply that if you solo q, you will likely end up with people who don't recognize that. Poor players see only kill stats, but kills don't win games. I like the new "marksman" term, simply because I always felt that the "Carry" part of ADC was misleading. The ADC does not carry the team any mre than the other positions do, and in fact the entire team spends much of the game carrying the ADC (The support baby sits him, the tank gives him a safe zone in team fights, the AP and Assasin/jungle take out the enemy carry and CC the enemy for free kills etc. etc.). Perhaps the "support" label should be changed to make it sound more important.

Good ADC's and Mids are a dime a dozen, but when I que up and see someone call for support, I know my chances of winning just increased.
