It is the only role in this game where you completely depend on another person in order to have a good, fun game.

When you have a bad support as an AD you can let your tower fall semi early and ward yourself, and if you farm enough you can have a big impact. Whereas as a support if you do everything you can possibly do and your AD fails its not like you can farm up and do your best to make a difference. Youll be without the assist gold supports need to build a tiny bit of tank, and will therefore be an instadeath during teamfights.

Being lastpick and having to babysit some random instalock AD is the worst thing in this game, alongside being a 4 man premades jungler.

Go Go downvotes without discussion.

This entire game is based on having 2 or 4 other people to have a game, period, "good or fun" be ****ed.

What's your point?

My point is that as AD carry, mid, top or jungler I can put on my tryhard pants and try to snowball my team to victory. The best way to handle a fail team is to put blinders on to block the QQ and just start murdering who you can. You cant do that at all as a support.

False. Triple Stack Blitzcrank is ALWAYS a good, fun game.

So then playing any role other than DPS is completely unviable, since tanks and supports can't go rambo and solo murder people.

Why do priests, shamans, druids, or paladins even have healing capabilities in WoW? Why heal people when you can just prevent the enemy damage by killing them?

There are no-healer teams all the time in WoW Arena - or at least there were back when I last played.

You depend on leeching assist gold off of carries, by clearing wards when its safe. When they dont help you create a safe environment by feeding you cant do either. Having a bad AD cripples you as much as it cripples them, and it doesnt work the same way vice versa.
