Dear Riot, for the next champion (support Topic)
Please let it be a bad ass support
The Support meta is so stale right now, and honestly the only supports you make are just well, cutsey shit.

now here is a list of suports who are actual bad asses

List of Neutral supports

That being said one of the things I feel greatly makes people shy away from support is the fact everything in that role is just to cutesey, than the only "bad ass" supports are either very hard to play or just under powered. Thresh being hard to play, and than alistar and tahm being under powered.
While we are on the topic WHY IS OVER HALF THE SUPPORTS CREATED GIRLS?! What message are you sending riot? No troll either, are you saying only girl champions can be supports?
Let's look at one of the most popular supports and respected supports
Thresh
His lore? Epic and mysterious
His toolkit? Very useful and actually very exciting, YOU ARE LITERALLY USING A SICKLE OF DEATH as your way to either hit people or capture people, to than summon a ARENA of death that slows people.
I am not saying you need to make more "grim reapers" as supports, but I am saying, you guys really did make the support role WAY TO CUTE.
Let's look at one of your older supports who also use to be very popular.
A fallen angel who gave into dark magic, in rebellion against her sister, filled with a lore who makes us question who is the real bad guy? Morgana with her revolutionary ideals, or Kayle with her over the top justice, almost neo nazi attitude.
Than let's dive into her toolkit, a toolkit where she uses dark magic to capture enemies with either energy blasts to snare people or chains of corruption to tie down her opponents.
My rant is the following on trends I want to see Riot stop, to allure new players to support
1-Less cutesy shit like

More bad asses like

2-Less
Females

more males

For currently the female supports out number males 11 to 6, that's almost DOUBLE. And YES we can give credit to riot with the fact the most recent supports have indeed been male, but we still need more MALE supports.
If you want people to find Support to be a cool and exciting role, than you need cool and exciting champions such as

(as for where I put Bard in the gender roles, I honestly consider the fluff ball to be gender neutral)
is a support.
