You can ' t make support more attractive without giving it the same gold income as the other roles . This will break the game . Support will always need to be a low economy role , and this is always going to make it undesirable to the majority of the playerbase that believes they need resources in order to carry . If support is ever given the resources as a support to carry , then they won ' t be played as supports because they ' ll be utterly broken in solo lanes where they are given even more resources . If the support role is given the ability to obtain resources on par with other roles then support champions simply won ' t be played as they won ' t scale with those resources the way champions currently played as laners and junglers do . Support is the most attractive it ' s been since the game ' s inception . Having played the role since season 3 , I think it ' s ridiculous how far we ' ve come from having philo , tier one boots , and 10 wards in inventory plus sightstone . Support being attractive enough that queue times cease to be enormous without autofill will break the game . Autofill still gives way more role selection than seasons 5 and prior did . Autofill is a necessary sacrifice in order to have role selection . If you don ' t want autofill , the solution is not to break the game by turning support into mid lane the solution is to remove role selection in champion select . I guarantee if that happens , you ' ll miss autofill .
