However, right before The Crud took over my body completely I had a nice conversation with someone who saw this blog and/or the GD post about it and wanted to lend a hand. His name is TheBlackCanon (henceforth TBC) and he is currently running around in Gold 3 after a rapid rise since the opening of S4.
"What do you enjoy about that role?"
Man--I know I enjoy it but I hadn't thought to articulate to myself what I like about it. Ultimately I figured out it comes down to a sense of control and engagement with the whole battlefield. I know that this should be something that every player is focusing on, but it seems at least at low ELO that this is especially in the wheelhouse of the Support player. Based on that feedback, TBC suggested that I look into Jungle as an additional role to develop and offered some good advice on how to start learning it based on resources that I already have. Thus far Mid has been my fallback, but sometimes it feels like a very small role compared to Support of even Jungle from my limited experience. I don't mean small as in unimportant, but in early game especially I feel kind of chained to my lane without much impact anywhere else.
However, that feeling is also probably the result of my limited skill, so I often feel pressured to keep toe-to-toe with my lane opponent especially because I'm still very much a novice at last-hitting (mainly due to spending most of my time learning Support skills).
Anyway, I'm hopeful about this new opportunity and my horizons already feel broadened!
