Arctic Snow Wolf··9 votes·1,679 views

Riot please rework the supports. coming from a support main, its becoming harder to keep up with all of the damage being unleashed with all of these updates and not even the defensive items have been updates to stand a better chance. when a support like alistar, or braum can get killed within 8 seconds from being hit by all 5 of the enemy team how is the good at all. With this assassin update coming out its going to much a supports like a living hell, and im really starting to see why almost no one wants to play supports. Please riot rework the support class really soon. Dont wait until the end of this season just so the supports get left behind again with everything getting reworked again.

I agree with you. Why play support when you can play veigar, brand and zyra in bot lane and get free kills. These people in this forum who claim to play support are not real support mains that's why they don't notice that supports need a rework.

I don't think you know how to play Alistar if you're getting melted in 4 seconds.

actually i do. ali is one of my favorite champions to play. then what do you do when you play alistar? I play him as the tank/peeler he is suppose to be. when im the front line tank, im in the front tanking all the damage i can. i build the right items, face of the mountain, frozen heart, locket, cool down boots for more combos, omen when needed. ruby sight stone, and sixth item is situational. and 4 seconds is just a average time from the recent games. and actually when you have the full force of 5 people attacking you and with the new Korean build, black cleaver and items that shred tanks alistar will not last very long at all even with his nerfed ult. soooo check your math and play the front tank line instead of being a peeler (probably what you play if you think alistar can take every damage from 5 enemies focusing you)

If five people are focusing you, you probably went in at the wrong time. I know there's no way In focusing an ulting Alistar with little damage threat over, let's say, an Irelia that jumped on my face.

When I engage, I do one WQ combo to knock a few people up, and either keep going or start peeling. I keep going if we're destroying the teamfight (in which case I haven't taken enough damage to justify backing off), or I peel if my back line is getting dived (in which case I'm not getting focused).

lol then you dont know what to do. before any late game fights i find out if im the peeler or the front line tank. and if im the tank then i get into the back line right into the adcs face or who ever i find. and i have good cdr runes and set up so i can abuse them with q and w all fight. if you do that early then the enemy team catches on and will start to focus me so their back line can get into the fight. alistar is one of the best back line abusing supports. also its a ton of fun doing that XD its cheese but it works. that tactic allows my team to kill who ever doesnt back off to attack me

  1. they are doing a very small support update
  2. wth my braum rarely gets melted in 4 seconds unless we are really far behind
  3. making assassins healthier will actually help EVERYONE and hopefully keep the bursts down a bit they are the unhealthiest class right now and supports aren't in a great place... but they're not in a horrible place also looking at a couple of your builds i don't know about alistar but locket second on braum, not frozen heart. also try warmogs :D all that health regen when out of fights is sweet

lol thanks for the tips i will try and put them in. and my item build is not always the same. i adjust it depending on who on the enemy team is doing more damage to our team during the current state of the game. but yeah my coach has had a talk with me about the item path. lol idk why i put 4 seconds it was just a random number from the past few games i play that seem like i lived for a short period of time :P. I just get annoyed how riot leaves the supports out of pretty important updates, and with the way the past updates have gone (the mage update) it kinda has me worried about the assassins and the supports place in the game when its released. riot hasnt had the best track with balanced updates lately.

Supports themselves are fine. It's support gameplay in general that needs to be updated. Support items should reward extra for assists and maybe decrease rewards from kills to compensate.

are you a support main? or play support alot? and please do not take this the wrong way. recently ive been changing my supports up with tanks and mage supports, raka, nami, karma. then my main supports alistar, braum, thresh. when the first adc update came out, that changed the supports alot, especially on tanks because the adcs were doing alot more damage, you couldnt just go in abuse them and walk out with loosing 5% of your health anymore which was one thing i loved to do so much, when you go in now to abuse them and keep their farm down you loose about 10%-20% of your health (on a full tank page, 30 armor and blue magic resist) but i dealt with that. i played safer made sure my adc had my back when i went in to even out the trade, big change to my play style up i adjusted it. little patchs here and their boosting and nerfing alot of champions, nothing effecting supports to help with the adc boost in damage. then with the mage update that changed so much, locket barley does its job anymore. when you are fighting a enemy mage and they were boosted so much that locket is almost a irrelevant item its kinda annoying even the active part is barley hanging on, which is forcing the healing champions like raka nami sona, and karma whose shield barley helps depending on the mage. veigars update is stupid locket is useless, raka, nami, sona dont stand a chance against the 2 ability combo veigar has if they dont build 100% tank which hurts their healing. zyra ap is also stupid right now, as a support i can deal with it because i play mostly tanks and i dont let her take over the lane, but like i mentioned with the mage, healing supports (squishes) are being forced out since they major nerfed alis heal. and which make it pretty easy for zyra to dominate the lane because if zyra gets her plants spawned before you can step on them you loose alot of health. SO yeah the support items need a update, however the supports them selves could also use a update, supports are nearly one of the 2 most important positions in the game. whats the use of having supports if they are getting left behind in the updates. supports right now are kinda like???? idk who to compare them to because yorik is good just no one plays him, but supports themselves need a class update, top laners got a update, adc got an update, mages, assassins, junglers are a combination of all of those soo supports are the only ones who never got a major update like all the other classes.

No I don't want an assassin rework. As an assassin main I never rage at assassins and feel like they are perfectly healthy( except for katarina😏). I don't
know why everyone keeps whining about rengar like he isn't even annoying

i agree rengar is just fine
