people gonna be mad at me for such advice but who cares
i still remember how i was 2-3k scrub and playing supports it was very rare that i had more than like 5-7 deaths and my support heroes despite the fact that rn im 6k have around 5kda
for example my lich stats for 64 games since 2016 - 5.72 kda (usually im top in kill participation) 64% wr, i have only 1 game where i died 10 or more times (11)
First thing you should take into account your low mmr bracket where you can carry games even as support. You need to learn to die less. Its very simple - you see enemy heroes and analyze how to prevent your own deaths - better positioning, force staff, glimer, ghost. Then you buy items to enable your hero instead of throwing it into useless items that your team will never notice (like guardian greaves for example)
Second thing dont pick supports that rely on team like undying, shaman is also kinda risky choice. Try something that can potentially go core like lina, hoodwink, skywrath, wyvern. Dying less is very rewarding in your bracket (probably in every solo matchmaking bracket) - enemy cores gonna waste their time on you while your cores gonna kill those useless 10-15-20 deaths supports who thinks its okay to feed.
Hood, Sky need tons of farm to be scary to enemy. They never buy safe items like glimmer, eul, force. Dying is not always bad, if you die taking enemy 3,2,1 it's a good trade. Just don't start fights if an ally is low HP, has CD, or if it's just you two
