53rd to 55th try - "Just a quick match before work..." + a little thought

I went to work later today cause of some workers trying to improve my house, so I thought that I could do just a quick match before leaving home.
Just...one... must... resist.... ok, I failed.

It was so difficult to start a game :-/ many leavers, it took 5 minutes to finally go to the champion selection screen, and other 10 to start a game.
I also was experiencing several client bugs, such as champions disappearing in the selection screen, all bans credited to one team... it was only visual errors, though.
So, let's start the fail!

Meh. Our Garen top is failing hard vs Teemo. Also was always out of position and fed horribly. Besides, he was obviously flaming hard all game long, so it was really annoying.
Our Trundle jungle was really useless. Very few ganks, failing to counter jungle and feeding.
But our real nightmare was Blitzcrank. AP mid Blitz. On enemy team. Was killing everything in sight (and out of sight, thanks to the grab). We had a good lane bot (my Tristana took several kills), but our late game was horrible and our team lost.

-13 ELO, 1139 rating, dat AP Blitz!!

Ok, maybe it's not the right time to play Leona, I need to go back to my super defensive favorite one.
...I "won the support" and bot lane was fine, but everything else was failing so hard... enemy Brand and Vlad got fed and begun killing things AoE, our team wasn't focusing right and even though our Galio was good, we just didn't have team spirit anymore and lost.

-14 ELO, 1125 rating O.O ohmahgad so low!! STOPSTOPSTOPSTOP!!

I can't go to work without at least a single win >.< come on dudes, don't be fail this time too!!!
I was bot with Graves, facing a Blitz-Vayne lane. We avoided almost all grabs (and could escape to the ones that didn't miss). My Graves was smart enough to play aggressive or safe as it was needed, and we managed to do several kills.
But!!! The true winner was our jungler. It was the first time I ever saw Jayce jungle. He did an amazing job, putting pressure on all lanes and getting fed. Our Annie was also decent and the game was ours from the beginning. I think they just surrendered.

+14 ELO, 1139 rating, YAY for Jayce!

Now just a little thought... which support shall I take to "carry" the game? Supports don't carry, someone might say. True, but sometimes you clearly see that a Leona / Blitz / Nunu / is so good that killing everything near him is just easy.

I always focused in playing supports that are best in saving teammates (Janna, Soraka, Sona, Lulu), but that are not really beefy.

I'm training hard with Leona to improve myself lately, 'cause I see that the girl can make the difference in a teamfight. But I'm usually dying too much with her, even when we win, and that's bad.

This week I begun a hard training with Blitzcrank too. As many can see, a good pull can win a game. But it's so hard to have good grabs! Sometime I just pick their Ashe out of nowhere and we win, sometimes the bush gives me an Alistar instead :-/ I guess I'll just continue training hard in normals...

Another thing I thought I could do is going on with Lux. I think I can be pretty good with her, but I cannot build her as a true support, lacking much utility items. Good is, I can save my carry / win bot lane AND do massive damage / shields in team fights. Double cage is too good to be ignored. I'd need to give it a serious try, I only played her randomly in ranked games.
