A public service announcement to supports.

Hola supports,

To start, let me say I appreciate you guys. Thanks for being support mains.

Now on to the public service announcement: I've been seeing a lot of you guys still taking ignite. Just wanted to let you know exactly how strong the spell is. It has a 2.5 second duration and reduces damage dealt by 40%, attack speed and move speed by 30%, and reduces armor and MR by 10 each.

It is literally the most powerful summoner in the game (and many people argue it isn't balanced). It also essentially ensures you win an all in and significantly reduces the enemy's chance of running away.

In addition to its offensive use, it can also be used defensively to protect your adc. And, later in the game, it can be the only thing that can balance out an engagement if someone on the enemy team gets incredibly fed.

In contrast, ignite might get you, the support a kill (which, in reality, doesn't help the team as much as exhausting someone and getting your adc the kill). The only thing I can say ignite has over exhaust is its ability to reduce healing. But to only have that ability once every 210 seconds doesn't make sense. In the scenario where controlling enemy healing is an issue, your adc should be building an executioners calling/mortal reminder. If necessary, remind them.

In short, please choose exhaust over ignite. It is much more powerful and is generally better for the team as a whole.

<3 you guys, keep on doing what you're doing (minus the ignite. stop that).
