look my lad luck isn't a thing only probability exists stop blaming your losses on luck you just look salty at best and making excuses at worst
The problem is your reasoning says that ani has to play extremely often to counter it, which ani may not be willing to do.
Also since the introduction of dynamic, i would say that a Support that isn't in a premade would have an extremely hard time.
if ani doesn't play extremely often then he shouldn't be surpised that he can't climb into plat

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
I know someone that plays dynamic queue for basically all of his games. He's a support main.
He's stuck sitting in the same place down in gold 4/5. I've won 90% of the games I've played with him on my smurf and it doesn't help because he continues to butt his head into the wall without actually improving. He's genuinely a gold level player. His champ pool is limited. His build paths are incorrect. His decision making is wanting. When I give him advice, his reply is "but I just like doing it this way."
He is a friend, so I don't give him the harsh truth, but the harsh truth is that dynamic queue is more likely to hold you back than push you forward, and that unless you improve how you play and break all your habits of "I just like doing it this way" and start to actively think about what could be better than what you're doing and spend time actually planning each move that you're going to do before you do it consistently, you're not going to climb. This is true no matter what level you're at. If you're not climbing, the only factor you can influence is how well or poorly you are playing. Work on that and the rest will follow.
That logic is absurd. Doing nothing but planning will mean you miss opportunities that appear that you don't expect, so you have to be able to do both. And if all you needed was to be able to olay well and win, damn I wish having 20% of a puzzle meant I could complete it

But it's not a picture that's actually meaningful im any way. It's missing a lot of pieces and is really jaggy. Plus it's not worth framing. You also likely have a few stray pieces sitting about.

Here's my thinking, and i'm not saying ani does or doesn't deserve to climb or anything like that.
If you are queuing as a support by yourself, likelihood is both teams will have premades, because that is what Dynamic queue has caused, these premades can be good, or can be bad, but this isn't the point.
The point that will affect ani, is that she 100% will have no knowledge of her ADC, no voice comms etc.
Yet there is a decent chance, that the enemy team has a Premade bot that know each other well and have voice comms, and i run into this all the time in my games, and can't think of a time in ranked where i have had 2 un-premade bot lanes.
This doesn't change anything in terms of everyone else on the rift, but it makes any support main without a premade, have a hard time, sure you can do the right things, but if the bot laner doesn't know what the right things to do are, then you run into a problem, and even just being out of sync with your bot laner can cause problems (going aggressive when your ADC doesn't expect it for example)

In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.
Majority of my games have no clear premades or if they are premade it's usually jungler + solo laner. I rarely if ever deal with premade bots and when I do it is usually an extremely easy shitstomp that makes me wonder how they ever even got to my elo to begin with.
I can't remember the last time I've seen a clear premade, other than one time 4 members of my team did not speak or ping and moved like telepathic and I was nasus top and farmed whole game and we powerhoused to victory

Do you look at club tags before the game starts (or during i guess)?
I've ran into lots of obvious premades mostly because i am always looking at the loading screen to start off with, and notice the tags.

I've never see more than 2 people with the same club tag in a game, but then again I hardly ever give a shit about tags

I'm a diamond 5 (quickly climbing) support main who plays predominantly solo. I almost always lose lane in the later levels with a pre-made who I'm on voice comms with ftr.
Support is a really rewarding role if you invest the time into learning it well. It's not as flashy as other roles in that you won't be getting a pentakill etc. Anytime soon but there's nothing more satisfying than something like madlifing the enemy ad carry and tilting them for life.
That's just my two cents anyway.
I'm also going to acknowledge that playing support in high elo is definitely a lot more rewarding / enjoyable than the lower ranks so what do I know
"just got my hands in cooking! feel free to give me suggestions. So far completed: noodle in soup, noodle stuffed clam over noodle, red white and bluedle american noodle, hot brown noodle"
I tried out Ashe top today, first time i've played her since the rework, went in blind without any knowledge of build/skill order(ftr I maxed w->q->e and built runaans -> ie -> bloodthirster) and got an S+, destroyed everyone, great times
