Hm right. So all the status effects that you inlfict on your enemies and buff your allys with are just so easily looked over? That's not how I remember any paticular match as a support. The only time I don't have a strong presence as a support is when I'm paired with a unskilled ADC. And usually what happens is that I end up taking the kills because the ADC is just THAT inept at finishing the job!

I put that money into auras that will help us win a teamfight. Sustain us in skirmishes. Or split push. All of which matters throughout the game and a support is going to have all those nice useful things along with the CC, Buffs, and Heals that come with our kits.

I don't know who these players are that aren't letting their role shine in a match but it's making it congruent for the people who know what they are doing.
