Creating a Distinct Support Class
Most Supports just kind of wander into the roll because...well they arent acd's. I dont really know why. It seems like some form of CC is needed. Its also really nice when they are like sona and they dont need items to be a boss. They also aid the adc in getting early kills.
But they arent really their own class. Most can solo lane just fine. Well ok. I am not happy with that. I think that something called true CC could set supports apart. True CC ignores tenacity and we should let tenacity stack a little higher to accentuate that. Maybe supports could have some mobility in their kits too but like, no damage. That might make Supports fun. Like how long can you stay alive while people target you and you CC them as the only source of hard CC for your team.
So early game CC would be effective, but grow less effective as people start gathering Tenacity Items and true CC in bot lane would remain just as effective. Adc's would be forced to build
, which is currently somewhat awkward idk if thats a good thing but whatevs thats balancing. Remember that tenacity reduces duration of CC. High attack speed on
results in a perma 35% slow as long as there is an appropriate Max Tenacity Cap. In fact I think that would be a good standard for max tenacity. Its not arbitrary and I wouldnt want
to be any less effetive than it already is..
And Most importantly, we get a faster paced game at the end.
