About being a support

So I wanted to write a little bit on what I think about playing a support. Everyone that plays league should know the most common way to play is have a tank top lane, usually ap mid lane, a jungler, adc and support bottom lane. Sometimes we run across a double top lane and no jungle and sometimes, mainly in solo queue, we get people who auto lock or just simply want to try something different. I've had games where I have to change my build and go top lane due to people that do these things. I main Thresh, he's all I've been playing lately and I have to say he can play in other lanes. He's always going to be best at support though of course. I've tried him adc, but I have to play extremely safe and usually I only do that for the challenge or if I have no choice. I've had to solo bottom lane with him as well, it's all about how you play and how your team plays.
Being a support comes with it's own problems just like any lane does, the main thing I have an issue with is my adc because they directly effect how well I do. If I have a good adc that plays well and doesn't leave me on my own early game, I do good for the most part. Thresh isn't the easiest champion in the world, but support is generally considered a harder role to take on. You have to help someone else get better and focus more on leveling up and getting someone else those last hits and avoid getting kills while still contributing to do damage or sometimes taking damage and even getting killed in team fights if its for the greater good of the team.
Over all, I enjoy being a support which some people don't. I'm all about team work and helping out as long as I get my assists in. The more assists the better of course. With Thresh specifically, I sometimes get carried away and over extend for the sake of collecting souls, that's something you have to be careful of, you don't want to end up feeding. League involves a lot of strategy and you have to do a lot of thinking about the what ifs and know when to play safe and when to play more agro. There's so much to consider and being a support you need to be pinging for your lane and warding on top of helping out in fights. Know when and where to ward, when to protect and when to hit the enemy. In the end it's all about team work anyways and clicking the fucking lantern >.>
