Supports often do badly because of few reasons:

1. People try to support as little as possible, so they don't get practise as support

2. Supporting well is hard, i mean Realy Hard, and people stop warding after laning because its not "their lane anymore", and its actualy realy tempting to just buy items. Warding while not falling behind in XP is sometimes kinda tricky.

3. People dont buy wards, support should buy about 50-70% of the wards, not 90-100% like it is currently at low to medium elo, and there is no way support can give enough vision of the map alone(not realy because of money, just because you can be at multiple places at once)

4. Trying to proctect both yourself and the adc in fights is actualy lot harder than it looks. Sacrifising yours self for your acd's getaway will get you alot of flame if the adc fails to get away, and angry players=play badly.

5. Supports die fairly easy(but not you Taric, your still my number 1 <3 ), mostly because they have no items and warding is pretty dangerous if you go alone, and because of that, they fall even more behind, making them easier to kill.

6. People play Leona in soloque, its a realy bad idea. Leona without (voice)communication will often fail *ou, you went in while i was farming, OMG report"
