User blog comment:Endless Exceptions/Lame Support Excuses./@comment-71.113.250.253-20120708041016

This reminds me of a friend of mine. He likes to play support, but he's so terrible at it. Really he's terrible at every position, but I think he plays support so he can be like, "Hey, I'm support. My K/D/A isn't supposed to look impressive and is entirely dependent on my team" which is true to an extent, but at some point his crappy score is his fault. He's always doing things like standing between me and the enemy in an attempt to shield me from harm when I'm in NO danger. He's only putting himself in danger. He used to play Janna a lot and just spammed her whirlwind the whole time hoarding all the farm, pushing the lane, and feeding the enemy. Thankfully, he's not THAT bad anymore. He also has a habit of initiating team fights as if he were the tank even though he's a squishy support. He seems to have settled on Blitzcrank as his main champion which is working ok for him. He basically just spends the whole game spamming Blitz's grab. He doesn't usually get anyone, but now and then he gets lucky, and people are afraid of Blitz's grab so it helps zone some. He still tries to headbutt the enemy team though with 0 cs which is a habit I hope he grows out of someday. It's especially annoying when he cries out, "Where was my team?" after he does it too.

If it's a normal solo queue, I wouldn't even bother with support. Either the carry or the support will always fail. For normals it's better to go with champs that can farm everything and champs that can kill everything. For ranked, idk. I don't play ranked. Lower ELO I would imagine is not too different from normals though.
