i've had 5-6k supports who don't buy wards and are irrelevant.
so i'd rather have a support who's low mmr than the carry.
it's easier to get good at map awareness for not having wards.
but how do you work with having wards and no kill/push/fight potential?
but on the other hand, i'm a great support player and i can make my 3k carry play like he's a 6k carry due to my awesome skillz.
so really it depends on the player and more importantly the average mmr of the game.
7k carry with a 2k support may get raped by a 4k decent offlaner. Seen it numerous time in stream.
Because you can't support deadweight. If your supports are bad, at least you can turtle till late game and avoid skirmishes. If your Carry is bad no amount of farm on that cm/dazzle/chen is going to compete with a 6 slotted Alchemist
tldr: you want you best player(s) to transition into the late game and actually impact

Why does everyone say that if you are playing with those who suck so much more than you, you should carry?
In my recent games, I've had a very WIDE range of players, anywhere from 1k to 3k. I would rather have the 3k support if he can support very well (granted, I've been midding, and the only thing that affects my game at all are the play ability of my supports).
If that 3k player played as a carry, I wouldn't have had any ganks mid, wards in good places - allowing me to land skillshots (sunstrike), or to gank with Eul's wombo combo.
Thoughts?
