User blog comment:Big Lupu/The Curse of the Supports/@comment-1911055-20130418012140

As a support player, yes, I definitely feel you about this lack of reward. But I don't think that it needs to be "buff the supports to crap." The ideas you suggested would easily make them OP.


 * Leona's already got 3 stuns--and a well landed stun is a satisfying experience.


 * Soraka's got heals for days plus mana, plus an MR reduction.  IMO, the least satisfying support however.


 * Sona's ult is awesome, a game-changer.


 * Taric's stun is really, really, good, plus armor reduction lets ADC do work.

Yes, support is a thankless job (buy wards, get someone else fed so they can whore the credit). But we all know who the REAL carry is.
