    Support bro-fives, nice to see more supports out of the woodwork. Most people just are like I'm the AD or I'm the MID or TOP, and jungle and support I feel are the two shafted options a lot. So I chose to main a support over a top or jungle like I used to. And guess what? Supporting is mega fun.

    I know eh they just see the glitz of the damage and that's all. The supports win the game man, I started supporting because people in low elo never know how to play it well since they just do it when they are last pick :/ Hitting the game winning hook and blowing their carry up to win the game is one of the best feelings out there!

    In ranked games, only bot usually has ADC and support, the rest will be unaccompanied. But I can see that in normal games jungle doesn't even exist anymore, haha. Back in 2012 when I started playing this game, it did.

    I like to go mid and play solo. I just like the feeling of being in control of the situation and not needing anyone's help on that lane. Sure, if I play support, I'll go with someone in lane, I'm not crazy. :)

    I prefer a solo lane, mainly because I can't play support and ADR well. Still, if I could play ADR or support well, I probably still won't play those roles often, because I don't have anyone to duo queue with. It's very difficult when you can't synergy with your lanemate.

    I like randomly matching with an ADC I've never met before. Usually they're on their game because it's a random matchup.

    I do like playing duo in a lane though I can play solo. I get the fact that playing solo would boost the way you earn experience and gold but I prefer playing with someone in a lane because if the enemy would attack us, there is someone who is already there that can help you anytime. Waiting for back up when your playing solo is a pain in the a**, 6 out of 10 games, I always encounter a pretty dumb jungler who doesn't have the time to help me in the lane when I'm playing solo. He literally is a jungler, you would rarely see them even on team fights. They are always the last one to go for back up, and that is when everyone's dead.

    I like playing duo but unfortunately if you get a shit partner it can really effect the way you play and what you're able to do. So normally I will attempt to be a solo lane unless I know I can have confidence in my duo lane partner

    Well said, a dumb support or ADC that's with you in the same lane would only mean feeding the enemy ADC a lot and often times you would get killed too trying to save a dumb team mate. Better play solo lane then.

    I used to play only solo lanes but then I started to play only duo, the bot lane. I like that lane because there are 4 of you and the action is better. When it comes to fights there are a lot of variables that are in game and it makes it much more fun than usual solo lane fights. They are like a mini team fights. And people tend to gank bot lane a lot, not just junglers, but mid laners, some times top laners to.
