Support Role in Pro Play

Super funny seeing non traditional supports being played a lot. And i mean a lot.

It's kind of refreshing, but also kind of funny.

It's indeed relieving and rather surprising as one who often tends to think outside the box (and watches the few oddball games from China over the past years). The bot lane meta has become more focused on bullying potential and zone control which has brought out champions with that kind of utility attached to them. What messes with people's minds so much is that you can build damage as a support and still fulfill your role; dealing damage for a fellow carry to finish off can sometimes be just as meaningful as play making CC. It is rare to see though but because the meta leaned that direction...

Riot destroyed the support role, and ADC is lagging behind because they've quite literally done overhauls to every other class at the moment, but have only nerfed adcs since season 4, 3 years now of just nerfs while other classes got buffed

bot lane is a joke seeing MF support, malz support, ziggs adc, people just going kill lanes because why the fuck not, you land anything on an adc and they're dead, and their damage is not scary enough to have to avoid them or play carefully around them if you have any gap closer at all

ADC got buffed in S6 technically with alternative builds for some champs, Kog got massive buff and massively broken. Corcki was GREAT and Ez was great year round (and after nerfs, was later re-buffed).

Supp however got great items but they are still in a weird spot. MAges and marksmen in Bot are just better "Supps". It's kind of funny. Kind of sad. Kind of fresh. Kind of sad again. ADC is still "strong" later in game and higher elos. Not in your standard NA clown fiesta low elo. It's horribly weak there XD

Riot has really pushed the "Jungle" carry thing way too hard since PreS5, especially S6 to make it the broken fucked up mess it is now, virtually exclusively AD Fighter and Assassin (exceptions: Elise AP Assassin and Rek Sai which is more "Tank").

We just need to start making Jg build Sightstone again, they will still be broken enough to one shot squishies if Riot really wants Jg to carry hard. Good thing they changing thing in Jg, but they should revert spawn time changes and exp changes.
