There's actually risks. I run her and I run armour runes so I get about 15 more armour to begin. You need to know when to throw a silence. Like in team fights and you see a fiddle you need to be silencing at all times. To play her well you need to understand when to throw her w (if you do it too early the two people attack your carry will either let up putting you at a disadvantage before your carry can damage one of them and force them to b.) You need to know your team strengths. (If you have a lot of ad level the w hard but if you have ap you need to level q to maximize their effectiveness) It helps with map awareness cause what's the point of a global heal if you only know what is happening in your lane. Support teaches you positioning since you aren't rushing into fights and it means you need to understand warding. A good support requires more skill than a carry in my opinion. And I play a great ap carry but only a decent support. I love running her though. I also run support morg and leona so I do actually play the role. After ap carry its my second most played role.
