Stop Putting Mages BOT!

It just feels to me that bot lane "support" is just another place for mid lane rejects who can't function mid, and riot doesn't know what to do with them, so they're just like Hey, just go bot. I'm sure you can ruin- er enlighten their day with your "supporting" and they just went along with it.

Remember when Malzahar was nerfed and then was like " yea, we can't fix you so just go bot or something" Remember when zyra and brand were mid lane mages, but brought down to support, and are now full time "supports".

Like what is this?!?!? Supports should be designed specifically for supporting like Thresh, Morgana, Blitzcrank, Lulu, Soraka, etc, not a safety net for failed mages. If zyra or brand or vel koz suck mid, FIX IT, don't just have them go bot and call it a day.

Mage supports keep tanky support in check, without them tank support will stomp enchanters.

Not really, don't forget that enchanters can also poke melee supports in lane. If you bait their engage, you have about 10-20 seconds to harass depending on the enemy champion. Except that it's actually balanced and not "lol i still outtrade you in melee range because my combo does 50-60% of your hp at level 3."

Same can be said about baiting/dodging a mages poke. Usually there’s nothing they can do until cds are up. For example if you dodge Zyras snare/2 seed poke, she’s useless for 10-20 seconds

Morgana was a mid laner enforced in support role. I agree with your point, mage who do bad on mid lane get picked 'support' and basically do the middle fingers to real support. It's aggravating.
