User blog comment:Big Lupu/The Curse of the Supports/@comment-5969046-20130421121507

I didnt really appreciate the support role before starting to play ADC.

Then I realised that the support has at least as much importance on the bot lane than the ADC. In fact I got carried by supports in the laning phase and I got crushed in lanes where my support would have no idea what to do/how to trade & ward.

Laning phase being over, your role is to read the opposite team's moves and ensure map control where required. In fact the role is probably more interesting than farming and hitting (aka carry). But you're right, it's less rewarding to go 1/5/18 than 18/5/1 (mainly in lower level games though).
