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...
Poke, CC, Dmg = gg
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
