Just one question but.....

Does riot feel that the support role is ok as it is now?I mean i just honestly want to know since we are soon to be getting a mage rework and highly likely an assassin update after.So is Support balanced?I know posting my opinion might get me downvoted but i guess ill do it anyway.I personally find it in a pretty overall semi decent because it still seems like few supports are good picks.Sona is trying very hard to hang on to her win rate but she probly will get nerfed since riots rework on her was (in my opinion) a failure as you never addressed her problems that would make you constantly nerf her before.janna is good but similar to sona gets nerfs in almost every patch note she is in.So i have no idea if you just hate her or not being as she isnt very flashy like some supports.....Thresh......Though she still seems to do well even besides constant nerfs.Nami in my opinion is good how she is maybe just needs some small buffs to her heal later game with a small early game mana regen buff since she quickly goes oom if she wants to poke or heal a meaningful amount of damage.Braum he is in a good spot needs no change in my opinion.Leona she is good but maybe she needs something that isnt just CC.....since its really feels like its just a kill lane with her IMO.Taric well he is getting reworked i just hope they rework his point and click stun away its just really strong in my opinion.Thresh i really dont like thresh he is overloaded but i dont feel he should get many big nerfs since simple numbers nerfs will only make him worthless riot either should change him or buff other supports.Thresh single handedly overcrowds most supports as he is.Alistar he is fine as is any buff might bring back ali jungle and we dont want that....or at least i dont....Blitzcrank well i just want his Hook nerfed but then buff some other part of his kit.Soraka She needs some big changes since honestly she is kinda bad right now she is considered cancerous but her kit says other wise since she lacks any CC and has to Pay 10% Max health to heal,But in exchange she can have an extremely short CD on her heal idk i feel like she needs a change or stay as is.As long as riot doesn't just gut her.Zilean i have no idea if he was supposed to be a mid lane mage with tons of utility like Oriana or a support that just happened to get taken mid lane but honestly he needs another rework riot needs to change him his current rework is not very good Here are my reasons 1.His rework changed almost nothing 2.His Passive is more visible but honestly it still bad late game and hardly gives a good advantage 3. His Q is now insanely easy to dodge the only good thing that came out of it was a stun if you land a second one using Rewind BUT its so easy to dodge that you might not even be able to land the first bit of damage let alone stun someone.TahmKench His damage is so broken solo lane that even though he was meant to go support he deals just too much damage to be put in a role where he can't get enough gold to build items or get kills.He definitely needs nerfs to his damage and a buff to his supportive utility other champions have been able to deal big damage while being tanks but get nerfed to the ground SejuaniGragasSion.Morgana she needs a complete update visual wise and small changes kit wise for her to be a good support since riot seems to want to pigeonhole her support same with Zyra.Lulu She is fine as is.Bard fine as is might need small mini buffs by small im talking very small.Karma honestly i just want her rework reverted but overall she is fine now i guess i would like to see her other spells get some buffs in exchange for nerfs to Q damage just to strengthen the utility aspect of her kit.I personally would like to see some champions like KayleOriannaLissandra get some support from riot to be able to fit the support role but not if it removes parts of their identity just to see some diversity in the role.That's basically what i think about the Support role and all i had to say.What if you stance on the support role fellow summoners? http://orig10.deviantart.net/f96f/f/2013/324/4/7/i_support_you__you_carry_me___league_of_legends_by_kitsune0978-d6utl54.png http://st.elohell.net/public/chill/765f5d61df2bda74740a7a5c579b3d38.jpg http://st.elohell.net/public/chill/bba6e5966dc39f551c7a79c1131a4427.jpg http://www.levelupstudios.com/lvlup-products/levelupstudios-aprilhoera-braumflakes-art-750.jpg

As a support main, there are 2 things that I feel supports need

Increased EXP gain, and increased Gold gain. Right now, Supports are ALWAYS drastically underleveled compared to the rest of their team as they spend so much time running around placing wards, and assissting in ganks occaisionally. While some of the changes to gold gen really help them with income, the loss of assisst streaks really hurt in that it averages to about a thousand less gold per game (at 60 extra gold per assist, not taking into account shutdowns, an average of about 20 assists is 1200 gold lost.)

Overall, supports aren't too bad off for what changes happened in the pre-season changes, but they do need some love.

yah i wish there was an item like to give increased exp for not getting kills or last hits so that way supports could be on the same level as the others.

maining support has made me a lot more pissed off about these preseason changes than everyone else. everyone else at my elo could care less about vision changes because they weren't warding in the first place.

one thing that i would like to see is a CC support item for tankier supps, but one that can't be abused by other roles like spellthief is being abused by mids. if frost queen is allowed to give a long ass slow then why can't i have an item that quickly roots an enemy or something?

idk, annoying poke "supports" like brand are pissing me off, lack of vision is pissing me off, everything is pissing me off and i can't steamroll as leona anymore
