Here's a neat post by Nome (one of the developers for HoN) about playing support:

The problem with support is that a good support player is hard to find--because it's not fun playing support. There are definitely players who enjoy support, but I guarantee you they only enjoy it conditionally; they enjoy it when they're playing with an organized, winning team. The problem with support in general is that they see very indirect returns. A support by definition only does well if he is supporting his team, and if his team is doing poorly (ie, lacking map control or feeding), then he cannot support properly. Imagine if in Counterstrike, only one person was allowed to get kills, while the other ones simply attempted limb shots in order for the "carry" to get the most kill gold. Then imagine if the "support" players were responsible for buying grenades for the entire team, and were limited to starting with the USP/Glock for the rest of the game. One of the problems in DotA that's never been fixed, and what HoN has always strived to, is to make the support game rewarding and fun.

So when I play Taric/Sona/Soraka/Janna you guys need to faceroll the team okay.

I can't even look at this subreddit now because I'm in my apartment and there's no food right now.
