User blog comment:Big Lupu/The Curse of the Supports/@comment-6003864-20130418033303

If you're complaining about being bored as the support, you're obviously not the right kind of person to play a support champion. What do we supports do? We make sure those daring plays pan out. We make sure that every time the fucking dumbass Ezreal dives the turret he gets his freaking double kill and gets out alive. We make sure that that jungle and those bushes are like becons of light in the dark of the fog of war. Supports, we make the game winnable. We might not win the game, but take us away, and you might as well just have two dudes standing still smacking eachother. But that's just the vanilla support, the passive protector like traditional Soraka or passive Sona. Then you have the Support-Carries, or as I like to call them 'Hey guess what our support can 2v1 you guys haha'. This is simply the most badass mofos out there. How many times have you played Battle Raka? Or Kill-Lane Sona? Or even Trample King Alistar or Killcrank? These guys don't need any buffs, I assure you. Soraka has such utility and hidden damage potential that she can outpace most true mages by 45 mins. And you don't have to change your build that much. Buy a Morello and a tear, upgrade it into a Seraph's later, and keep those wards flowing and you're still giving your adc everything he needs. All AP supports, especially those I mentioned above, CAN stand side-by-side with your adc and double carry the team. You just have to know how to use them, and use them well.

(BTW Riot if by some chance you see this and are thinking about buffing my Raka, I will love you for the rest of my life. She doesn't need it but if I could play her mid and make it viable against all the various mage builds, I would be in absolute heaven.)
