Lets talk about how to better support diversity in the bottom lane!

HalcyonDweller·Sep 25, 2017·2 votes·186 views

So first off, this post is inspired by the post linked here: Why aren't there any supports that support mage carries.

I believe that post (along with the discussions within the thread) fairly asserts that diversity in 'Bot' lane could be made better by adding additional support for other roles in that position.

As such I'd like to discuss how best to support diversity in the 'bot' position.

I'll post my ideas separately in the comments in order to prevent bias from coloring my post. But I will ask one important question in a poll so that you can easily demonstrate support or opposition to the overall idea.

How would you feel about Mana Vamp for a duration or for a single ability?

like lifesteal but for mana, and based on magic damage dealt

Morgana use to have this as her passive. They removed it because it was too tough on low mana enemy champs.

Not mana drain, sorry. Just mana gain. Like a % of the magic damage you deal is converted to mana regeneration.

How about something that allows you to fetch buffs for an ally, from somewhere else on the map?

To alleviate the impact of Blue Buff requiring its dependent mages to be Mid or on that side of the map.

An effect that helps an ally to deal more damage to minions, helping them CS better.

With the new runes we may see all sorts of new champs in different roles.

Very true, which ones do you think will have the biggest impact?

Shields, heals, regeneration, or other supportive effects that scale with the target's stats such as AP or Mana. (We already have this in some cases, such as with %HP healing or shielding.)
