I main support, myself. Not because I have to (I frequently am allowed to choose between several lanes, just because of the way I introduce myself to my team), but because I enjoy it.

So, a couple notes:
 * Support doesn't have to be boring. Yes, being a passive support (i.e. ward mule) is boring. So switch it up! I usually take Sona as a support and build her towards AP. There's nothing as satisfying as getting the assist because your 200+ hp heal, speed buff, and damage meant the carry won a fight they were clearly supposed to lose. Plus, if you get a good lane partner, you can play fairly aggressive. If you think Sona doesn't have good poke, you're not building her correctly.
 * It's not just the support's job to buy wards. Everyone should be buying wards. Now, I'm only Silver ranked player myself, so I can vouch from experience that a lot of low-elo players seem to think that it's only the support's job. But that's simply not true. Talk to any pro, watch any pro stream, and you'll see that everyone has wards.

Basically, when your team starts being unpleasant, just be reasonable and talk to them. Address your concerns politely. Of course, sometimes you'll play with people who just can't be reasoned with. In those cases, just do your thing and ignore them. They can rage all they like, but it tends to shut em up when you turn the tide in a late-game teamfight.
