Also, sometimes I play games where I'm Taric and with a friend who plays Graves. It's a pretty deadly combo, but the other day, he had a bad time and died constantly against an AP Shaco and someone else. We'd get Shaco low, Graves dies and then Shaco hangs around so I eventually get the kill on him. This happened about 3 times. I don't know what's more sad, that Graves managed to die that often and only getting assists, or Shaco just offering himself on a silver plate to a SUPPORT.
Anyway, point is, supports can FEEL useless, but it's like with all other roles; train, get better, carry your team. Though that's hard as passive supports, play something like Nautilus and you won't have much trouble at all.
