The support role is an underrated one. Supports are so important and yet they seem so powerless. Support is in 9/10 cases the least wanted role. I consider myself a good support and it#s also my favorite position in ranked, since I feel like I can do stuff without having to actually being the one in the focus of all actions.

The problem with most current supports is this: They can't do much apart form warding, cc, and heals/shields.

From what I've seen in Dota2, supports ahve a more active role there by being expected to poke with aas...not many current supports can do that (xcept maybe Lulu or Thresh).

Supporting in LoL is like this:

Wait for it...wait for it...waaaaait for it.....SPAM SPELKLS QWER ASDFDJNGORUGOS....oh crap no mana, I'm out, bye ---> enemy double kill, REPORT OUR JUNGLER!

Riot said that they would focus more on the support in season 5. Let's hope they manage to amke it a more appealing role.
