eviltunafish··6 votes·670 views

I was complaining every day that toplane and jungle is usless in this meta and if you have shit adc you gonna lose game no matter what. Now when nightblue started play double adc+double support cause he thinks those 2 roles are usless,MAYBE FCKING NOW YOU GONNA STOP BUFFING SUPPORTS AND ADCS and force toplaners to rely on trash adc who get caught at 40 min and destroy all your hard work better hotfix nerf singed btw riot i will fucking never ever forget how you didnt even give singed 1 day chance when there is so much unbalance on botlane.i spent alot of money on leage and you will not get single euro from me anymore.

Id prefer to increase the difficulty of supports and of the support role in general considering it is easily the easiest role in the game

boards' circlejerk wont agree but it's true

Geauxx2 votes

because it's an opinion.

I find top lane easiest tbh

Fowus2 votes

I mean in general it's just that the role seems boring so i guess people dont wanna play it as much even though it's easy

If supports are so easy, then try supporting someone who is OBVIOUSLY not an ADC main sometime.

Or just a really bad adc.

Ive actually had a first time draven first time adc before.....

There is a lot of things that go into being in a duo lane that make it difficult. Often times its one of the higher stressed lanes simply because

A) your most likely to have a 4-5 man gank before minute 10.

B) if you die once or twice, there is always someone there who is like "wtf, why did you do that?" "Report this adc/support" etc.

C) you have to actually find some kind of common ground between eachother's aggressiveness levels, and you need to know 2x as many champion strengths and weaknesses just for early game.

D) it is a highly pressured part of the map. The only lane that sees ANY kind of similarity is mid lane. This is only because it is fairly close to Dragon pit as well, and its an easy roam for supports to go mid.

This is just part of the issues with your mentality there.

There is no "easiest role". If you are new to that role you will get stomped by a main of that role 9 times out of 10. Thats because they have the knowledge of that role and the various strengths and weaknesses of that role.

There also is no "circle jerking". There is people telling you things that you obviously overlooked. So get over yourself with your highly held self opinion.

I repeat. There is no "easiest role". There may be an easier for you...... but there is no blanket easiest role.

still the easiest role even with bad adc if u have someone who is average its easy

That's an argument that can be used against any role depending how you say it.

Give an example of support being boring and ill show you how say like top is boring

Fowus2 votes

because support has a lower playerbase

Support has a lower playerbase....

Tops do nothing but afk farm till they soak damage for everyone else late game.

in lane support role is hard af, outside lane and in team fights maybe you're right.

I'd prefer to just remove ancient coin from the game and make a new support item line.

Wait explain to me how this strat works? Carry + Support top lane Mid lane (maybe a roamer w/ waveclear or good CC) Carry + Support bot lane?

That actually sound pretty interesting. Perhaps you take smite one one of them as well to occassionally clear camps.

For example, if you run a high peel support like Janna / Braum / Alistar or whatever than the carry can run smite and clear camps after clearing a wave or something with the support.

In past seasons the strategy is definitely not viable but now with the strength of hyper carries w/ ardent, coin, shields, heals, I see it being plausible with proper execution.

I gotta try this out. Do you have a source??

My guess is that it works by having the normal bot lane with an adc and support in mid or top and a tank jungler.

Lulu top Corki mid Sejuani jung Sivir bot Thresh sup

Well that's not anything new at all... Marksmen mid has been on and off for a long time. Top lane is basically an extra support in this meta (tank top lane going locket/knight's vow/ cheap supportive items). I wouldn't even call it "double support + double marksmen" that's just meta lol.

You want true ardent supports if possible.

You'd definitely want champs like Taric/Janna in your team, since you need a lot of peel and lack a frontline.

You want the top to be strong early champs because you're 2v1 and going to afk push to draw jungle. If jungle goes bot, you take a free first tower.

Sona top (for the 2v1 pressure), Taric bot might be most optimal. Not sure about ADC priority though. I imagine ones like Lucian or Vayne would be better, due to self-peel. Tahm's probably what you want if you're going to run immobile champs w/ waveclear.

Lulu+Kog is always good too, and obviously Trist.


A big part of the concept is that not having a jungler actually sets the enemy jungler behind, due to how catch-up exp works. Even if they farm both jungles.

The lack of jungle pressure is compensated by the fact that if bot gets ganked, top just dives and takes a free tower.

Lack of smite isn't generally an issue because nobody does objectives unless the jungler is dead anyway at high MMR.

If you have to teamfight over an objective, your team has the advantage due to two marksmen/supports.

What does this have to do with supports? If you think Supports are over buffed, I'd like to know which season you'd like their power to go back to?

For the record, I find this illogical.
