That's not supporting. That's thinking that if you just go to botlane and don't CS (although some of them take issue even with that proviso) then you can just build and play AP carry as if you'd gotten midlane.

I mean at least half the time they don't even bother warding (not as if that's the support's most important job, or anything...) And I've seen a lot of them (particularly Nidalees, who make up at least half of this group of "support") will just outright try and KS their carry at every opportunity. I've seen a Nidalee spear at someone whom her Caitlyn had already started ulting at like 20HP just to take the kill herself - there was no way they were getting away alive, she just wanted to be selfish, which is the opposite of what a support should be doing.

If you're starting Doran's Ring and health pots, buying 0 wards over the course of a game, your final score is something like 12/4/4 and your finished items are Seraph's, Rabadon's and Void Staff then you're not a support. Stop pretending to be - it's incredibly annoying for the team to have to pick up your job in addition to their own. I don't care if you wanted mid and didn't get it.
