This role needs a rework or just needs to be cut out altogether. Im not saying its broken because its OP. Im saying its broken because the bread and butter of the support role, peel, is not something that anyone picks a support for and its not something people like to do
Çhåryzård2 votesRiot will never cut out an entire role that so many people play. It has been part of the game for a very long time....deal with it.
There are plenty of support mains, myself included, that enjoy the role.
**Oh wait, you're the guy who was complaining that all supports should go Janna and if they don't they are playing their role wrong. Ah ok, I see. You're salty. **
Woook3r1 votesyou wouldnt be cutting it out. you would be moving it to the mid lane where people are known to play support midlaners. thats the beauty of this idea. it doesnt reduce diversity. it just keeps you from waiting on someone to pick a role they would rather not play.
Let the support mains just take their supports to mid lane.
Well yes. If you ask just about any adc main what support they would prefer, they would just about all say janna. I would. QTPIE would.

Midlane has and always will be a solo lane. Supports are designed with assistsing their adc's in mind, Riot isn't just goignt o say fuck it and change that.
Mages play differently than adcs, and I think you'd find that adc's will have a harder time getting fed without supports than with. While mages do damage in quick bursts, most adcs have to auto, and if you have no cc to work off of your enemy will keep getting away before you can get enough autos off to kill them. It would favor certain adc's over others as some are better at dueling solo. Supports and adc's are designed with synergy in mind.

No....
Just because she has an ult that throws someone doesn't mean she's the only one with syngergy...My god....you have no understanding of the game whatsoever...
Let me give you an example of synergy.
+
This combo works well. Nami's bubbles allow Jinx to place down her chompers and secure a root after the bubble stun. Then Nami's E lets Jinx do extra damage during that time while the W can heal Jinx and speed her up. THAT is synergy.
Here's another example.
+
This combo holds a lot of poke. Sona can do a lot of damage with her Q's and augmented autos while Varus has long ranged poke with his arrow. Both of them have slows and Sona can keep Varus healed. When he ults, she can time her ult so that the enemy is stunned right after the Varus root ends so that they are cc'd for much longer. This lane combo holds a lot of damage.
Here's an example of non-synergy
+
While it can work, this combo isn't the best. Ezreal does more damage with his ranged abilities and is better with poke. He doesn't auto the enemy as much. Nami does better with adc's who auto or stack things, like from before or 
. Her cc can add onto their cc, and also give them time to get damage off or stack, like Vayne's silver or even 
poison, giving him time to create a higher damaging e. With that in mind, Nami's E wouldn't really help Ez as much as it would other champs, because he isn't auto'ing the enemy as much. Her heal does help and so does the CC but there are much better supports that could be picked to help Ezreal.
This is synergy. Synergy is how well champs work together. Not "I throw da adc so we gots synergy". Kalista works well with tank supports like Thresh or Naut or Leona, that is synergy, not the ult itself.
Please read a basic guide on game terminology and actually get to understand the parts of the game.
Woook3r1 votesEvery champion has synergy. For some reason you think that adc's are designed to have synergy. There are two supports that doesnt make sense without a partner in lane. Thats leona and soraka, but only to a small extent. One adc. Thats kalista. She doesnt make a lot of sense as a solo laner.
Every other adc and support have fully functional kits in lane. Its just not true in general that adc's and supports are designed for each other. the support meta is actually just an accident that ppl found out was good.

They are...because its a duo lane...it is important to have synergy. Jesus tap dancing christ how dumb can one person be.
Support meta wasn't an accident, its an actual role put into the game by the people that made the game. That's why there are champs designed for it, thats why there are builds designed for it, thats why you can queue up as that role to play in and thats why people main it.
Yes, all champs have synergy, except the only champs duo laning for half the game are the adc and support so it is extremely important to have synergy in lane.
Hell, Riot even TELLS YOU WHO HAS SYNERGY when a new champ is created. That isn't an accident, they do it on purpose.

So you're telling me there isnt synergy with

And those are just a few but there are so many others that have great synergy with other combinations.

ShinkoMinori1 votesSupport role is unwanted, no one wants to be support willingly and expect to climb the ladder.
I am a support main and being support is a gamble of "are the other lanes gonna feed?". You don't do the most damage, you can hardly gank compared to other roles, is a gamble to know if you winning bot was enough for the idiot adc to carry and if the other lanes didnt feed.
