Play Support Gain Elo

[Heeatz]

Been stuck at plat 5/4 for about 2 weeks now, and i decided to start playing a fair amount of support, and this happens:

Back to back straight wins and promos series from (Plat 4 promos to 3) all the way to:

Bearing in mind i'm an adc main, i knocked up some pretty good support games there, do you guys reckon i should main support or..?

In lane a good support is golden. You basically are the controlling force in the lane. Playing high impact supports like braum alistar thresh really made it so all your ADC has to do is not go full retard and you win. You basically just hand them free kills.

A bad support lategame doesn't really matter to much, as long as they are in the teamfight and do something and drop wards you can win. If they get picked off at least you as an ADC have waveclear. In lane you play passive and capitalize on any mistakes. Never rely on your support to do anything.

A really bad adc means you have to relay on someone else to carry you. With alistar specially you can roam like a mother fucker and snowball your solo lanes. Mastering or having a good sense in both roles is worth it since you know what the other fully entails and how to play matchups from the others perspective.

Precisely. Thats the problem i find in soloq when adcing, i expect my support to do things which he doesnt, i find it hard to find a decent one. Which is why ive given up adc unless im in team 5s

I play a nasty Thresh/Braum, but my alistar needs work; but in that game i had a lulu mid who just growth'd me once i engaged; devastating combo tbh.
