Instead of nerfing ad carries, how about we just make it so that supports can support other roles?

When i say "can" i actually mean "won't in general be suboptimal to".

Like, double the effect of lulu ult on melee champions, make janna shield scale with max health, cause the on hit effect of nami's spells to be aoe with melee attacks, etc.

Basically, instead of making it so that marksmen are the only class worth protecting full time, improve the PROTECTABILITY of other roles above and beyond the baseline so that they synergize as well with receiving support in team fights as marksmen do.

Instead of items like ardent censor, add items that help the support improve certain team members briefly, like a temporary 20% ap steroid cast on an ally or an item that binds to an ally melee champion and which grants him the ability once every 2 seconds to reflect one auto attack if not currently auto attacking.

Or an item that is cast on an ally and increase the range of their next ability by 25%, or an item that drops a totem pole that functions like a mini fountain.

Basically make stuff that allows supports to support other roles just as easily as they support marksmen.

I can already see the toxic duo mid/supp laners helping each other, refusing to support the adc.

what the fuck.

Alright so instantly the first suggestions are a giant buff to chogath which means a lulu chogath top meta can be possible, same for cho+janna, possibly the same for cho+NAMI since Chogath can literally have all attacks of his be AOE except R

like a temporary 20% ap steroid cast on an ally

buff to all AD marksmen, this does not really enable the ability to help other teammates that aren't the ADC

Or an item that is cast on an ally and increase the range of their next ability by 25%, or an item that drops a totem pole that functions like a mini fountain.

doesn't seem to promote assistance to any position other than ADC specifically either

The reason why marksmen is needed next to a support the most is because THE ADC NEEDS AN ENTIRE ROLE (aka Support) to help them. ADC's are not going to live without a support 1. because of double bot is a meta that will never die 2. anywhere else, you'd reduce xp gain from your ally since the allies of urs aren't playing champions built to be around someone (most of the time) and 3. you'd end up roaming

edit: totally misread "ap steroid". thought it said AD. This will help mages and some assassins
