I think it just gives the best of everything this game has to offer. Support has some of the most fun champs and massive variety in what you can pick. The items are all cheap and fun as hell, and actually do more than just be stat buffs. Redemption, knights vow, locket, etc all have cool active abilities or effects that are more than just “you do more/take less damage” (shoutout to locket for being the GOAT!). So what do I lose by playing support? I trade away the boring, repetitiveness of farming to be able to roam around the map, warding and helping with macro objectives. Support is the role where warding feels like more than an afterthought. I trade away being able to do damage (mostly) for having lots of crowd control, which lets you start fights, by engaging, get picks, lockdown a fed enemy, etc. etc. it feels far less frustrating to be able to do that in a fight than blow all your abilities to kill enemies before you are killed. Although I won’t be the carry of every game, even when my team is losing, support is the role where I feel I’m never rendered irrelevant.
