Everything is always the non-carry's fault (tank, support, jungler). Clearly. It's totally their fault if the AD/AP carry is stupid and walks close enough to get jumped on and killed.

God, that attitude makes me want to puke.

Honestly? The teams I've been in have won more games because our jungler was the scariest thing on the field than because the carries were dishing out tons of damage. Heck, there's yet another reason I usually take supports and help leash with them -- I don't have to worry much about taking the jungler's creeps if all I'm doing is dropping shields and heals to save some health potions down the road.

I think we had one game where our jungler -- Skarner -- was snowballing incredibly quickly despite my failures in top lane. At about the end of the laning phase, the entire team pretty much unanimously decided "screw it, we're going to make sure Skarner stays awesome". Skarner then proceeded to just mutilate everything, and even Impale-dragged the enemy Tristana over for us to kill now and then. He ended up going 21/0/18. We all agreed that the decision to support the jungler was so very worth it.

I also can't even begin to count how many times Leona has saved people or secured kills with her ult, typically chained nicely into her other skills. She may be a support-tank, but the sheer amount of stun and AOE potential she has is kind of scary. I think we tried a comp once with Mordekaiser top, Vi jungle, Lissandra mid, and Leona and Twitch bot. Three strong initiators with very frustrating crowd control plus Mordekaiser and Twitch... yeah.

And now I'm rambling and getting off topic. TL;DR -- People tend to blame the non-carries, but without the non-carries, the carries would be so much fodder. Never forget that.
