Supports And Diamond Hard Counters

Professor Ward··1 votes·430 views

TL:DR let me/enemies play sona, nami, and lulu again without being 1shot engaged, im tired of landing easy hooks.

Though its absolute fun to do it to others, Its too easy to hard counter supports with the way bot lane is right now. I mean it basically goes down to tank or squishy, and with the way tank supports engage so fast and heavily it just becomes easy and EXTREMELY low risk to all in vs most matchups.

Ive been bronze for a while now and have had a pretty consistent share of wins/losses with my best streak being a 2 game winning streak , i went on a 6-0 ranked game streak with nautilus support to move to silver...

What im getting at is that it seems to me (especially at lower elos) that tank supports offer more in every stage of the game, with some tanks even being able to peel fairly well/better than mage supports. And i wish i could play them without the fear of being defeated at champ select unless the enemy is totally lower in skill than me, in which case i wouldve won regardless

This is why you're getting downvotes.

Honestly though bot lane as a support has about four or five champs swirling around as consistent picks: Blitzcrank, Thresh, Janna, Nautilus, and, depending on your elo, Soraka. That's a pretty good mesh between tank and poke supports as picks.

janna and soraka will get mopped playing into blitz thresh or nautilus...
