I'm sure supports help in some ways, but I get the same feeling too. I love playing supports because it reminds me of healers in MMOs, but yeah sitting around and not allowed to get any farm is annoying. Like "hmm I'll just twiddle my thumbs until you need a shield or heal" is boring as hell

Plus all the top guides for support are like, buy gp5 items, then wards, then boots level 1, more wards, upgrade boots, more wards, aura items to help your partner, more wards, and then keeping buying aura items until you have 1 slot left for wards. Keep buying wards and get oracles elixir

Like why should I gimp myself (not buying items that help you to the full potential like large AP, CDR, Mana regen) so that the carry can get more farm. Like sure Ashe needs to get her IE, PD, and BT to become awesome, but why do supports sit with like 0 AP and yet have huge ratios for abilities (Janna's Eye of The Storm has 0.9 ratio).

if Janna could get decent amounts of AP like a Morello's Evil Tome(75 AP) or maybe a Rylai's Crystal Scepter(80 AP) then her shield would become better and Ashe has a greater chance at doing her job of killing. But no Janna doesn't need AP or farm because she's support so her shield is stuck at 230 absorbtion which is like what... 1 non-critcal hit from the enemy carry.

For me I'm tempted to play the aggressive supports (Lux, Leona, Nidalee) just so I can be like "shove it I need farm too". Because Lux and Nidalee need AP, and Leona needs her tank items. I swear these metas ruin games, like how all carries get the exact same items with the only difference being the selected champ and their uniqueness (Ezreal getting Trinity Force).
