Upvote if you think Rito should make a marksman support.

I personally think that would be awesome. Mostly because I like marksmen. But another reason is I play support. I think one of it moves would be a move were it shoots a gun and if it hits anybody near would gain 200-400 hp back (not including life steal). Another move would shoot a bullet called paralysis shot. The person hit would be stunned for 1.8 seconds. What do you guys think?

What would the point be.

and if it hits anybody near would gain 200-400 hp back

Hell no.

Another move would shoot a bullet called paralysis shot. The person hit would be stunned for 1.8 seconds.

The only way I could ever see that working is an increasing slow into a root, and even then it would be less "supporty" and more "carry." And that seems a bit long.

If by marksman support you mean utility marksman, then we have Ashe.

People would just play them as a ADC and abuse the cc their kit provides.

Unless their damage output is absolute rock bottom, a heal on hit effect and a stun that potent would be easily abused in the ADC role. Marksman is typically difficult to blend with support because most marksman tend to want to shoot things to death. I suppose the best way to make a Marksman support would be a big game hunter who uses tranquilizers. You'd want to snipe and hit targets from afar, but you wouldn't be dealing damage in lieu of slowing them or knocking them out. It could work, but it's a very fine line.

this concept of a support marksman would only ever be possible to balance if it was an ap marksman who could itemize either into utility and be a support, or into damage and be a carry.

the problem with the existence of a support marksman would be that the idea itself is ridiculously broken. all marksmen scale into lategame with strong auto attack damage and attack multipliers to the point, where theyre stronger than almost everybody else when it comes to objective control and champion damage.

if you would add the utility and base values of a support onto that, you would end up with a champ with an incredibly strong early game, an incredbly strong lategame, and amazing utility.

you would put the power of two very distinct roles into one champion.

knowing riots boner for marksmen, this is probably going to happen at some point. i mean they made Graves into the abomination he is, so it wouldnt surprise me anymore.

downvote if you have brain cells.

The problem with a marksmen support is the problem with support in general. You can't get good items as a support

I thought Ashe (and sort of Kalista ) where all ready support marksman?
