Support has such a high impact that no other roles have any impact

People complain that champions like Senna and MissFortune are broken, but they are only S tier because they are always backed up by Alistar Leona Nautilus

It feels like every game is decided by two things: which support plays better or picks a more cc heavy champion. Nothing else matters. Jungle is always behind in xp, and nobody can engage on champions like Senna and Miss Fortune because the second you get in range, you are pummeled with CC. And while most tanks in the game are weak, you literally cant kill these tank supports.

It's so contradictory for rift herald to be so important and dragons early game to have such less of an impact, yet having supports and bot lane in general dictate the entire game. It's the worst type of meta. Remember in season 8 when ADC's were so broken that they decided the entire gameflow? That got changed in 8.11 and they got gutted. Now it's the exact same, where bot lane decides the entire game, except supports have the power instead. As a jungler main this is horrible for the meta. I'm not saying that junglers always need to be the ones deciding the game, but every single game feels like nothing i do matters. I could get both rift heralds, get a few kills top and mid, and get both their tier 1 turrets, all while setting the enemy jungler behind and being even on dragons. But unfortunately, my Lucian Zilean fed 3 kills to MissFortune Alistar and if the enemy team groups we just lose every teamfight. It just feels like nothing any other role does matters in the end and it's not healthy.

TL;DR - Riots season 10 changes made supports dictate the whole game, and top/mid/jungle has no impact and doesn't matter.

Just nerf naut and leona pls.

Make naut a top laner again please.

Make top in general more of an actual win condition. Right now top is mostly irrelevant in the match's outcome.

Maybe revert dragons?

Or make dragon soul have a DURATION. Why did they think an infinite buff was a good idea for lord's sake?

Oh because games need to almost never reach 40 minutes. OK just remembered. Games need to end fast. :/

Winrates definitely don't agree because the majority of the top 10 are enchanters. https://imgur.com/a/ISzhe5K

I am sorry, but most of what you said is purely your perception based on the people you play with... jungle is by far the most deciding role in a match...and if your jungler is always behind in exp.. that is why you lose..
