First of all; I main support. Except for Karma and Lulu i've played every support there is (including Supportlesticks before it was meta). SO assuming that i don't value supports as players is an incorrect assumption.

Now a statement of yours:

"He should be able to carry game as much as you mid laner or you top laner, you jungler or you adc"

that is something taht i can't agree with. Sure a support should do more then warding and throwing out actives...that's already happening since Riot changed supports into a more interactive state.

I think you do not understand the basic concept of a support. a support's power comes from his ability to work with his teammates. That'S why they#re paired with the ranged carry, since that'S the weakest role when it comes to laning. A support's lane job is to make sure his carry reaches lategame. A supports# lategame job is to use his individual skills to help his teammates win in teamfights. that doesn't mean a support isn't allowed to do damage, but it also means that, unless you're building as a carry (AP Sona, Ap Lulu, etc.) you shouldn't be able to ahve the same damageoutput aka soloimpact on the game.
