I have been supporting practicaly since I started playing and is by far my favorite position. Personally I hate farming, I never understanded the fun in  wait for every single minion to drop low and finish him (plus i suck at it xD).

The early games of supports are the best, you are in a direct battle with the enemy support to protect and kill each other carry while you still do a lot of dmg thanks to your high base dmg that is even bigger that the dmg of the ADC. You strategy and aproach changes from game to game while the ADC is, guess what... farming. And there is nothing wrong with that, is YOUR job as support to give your ADC the tranquility to farm and make a nightmare to your enemy every time they try to do it.

Mid-Late game your dmg will most likely fall hard (excepet for some agreesive supports) but that is ok, you have a new job: you are now in charge to protect the whole team, ward key places (not the whole map, you shouldn't ward alone) and five utility for team fights.

since most supports buy active items, you now have at least 6-7 abilities that you have to use at a precise moment. your shurelyas is for great initations/escapes, activate shard of true ice on your initiator and the enemy team is now even more fucked. a heal on time, a silence to interrupt, a slow to catch, the poke before the fight, all of this things is your job and it can be the diference between winning or losing :)

sure the carry get the kills, sure a good farmed carry can make a pentakill with out you... but try to play as vayne against caitlyn without supports and you will never reach that late game.

overral, you SUPPORT at the beggining so they can CARRY you at the end :D
