What disgusts me about pure supports now is that they literally serve one purpose:
to keep marksmen viable. They don't go to other lanes unless they're over-the-top busted like Lulu Rakan, and even if they do they're nerfed or reworked back into submisison. ALL they do is disengage for their marksman.
Marksmen should not need that level of handholding to be relevant without breaking the game or else they're going to CONTINUE to be:
1.) extremely hard to balance ( out of 19 marksmen, 9 seasons in,
and possibly sustainky
are better than everyone)
2.) extremely unhealthy for the game when they make it to lategame (see at least two of the champions above + the likes of
whenever she's remotely viable), and
3.) extremely vulnerable to every honestly equally unhealthy assassin which I really don't need to list, I promise, keeping their most unhealthy playstyle viable as well.
If their WR drops without pure supports being so good at defending them, buff their scaling defenses a bit, but NOT THEIR OFFENSE. Stop forcing DPS to be the cornerstone of their viability, Riot, because for this whole entire season it has dictated the meta and it has been disgusting.
