bring midlane back
midlane was never a supportive role , this isn't league that we all fell for seasons ago , if riot doesn't fix this bullshit the game will dramatically lose a big chunk of the player base

Linna Excel3 votesBut I thought people didn't want rito to enforce the meta.
Besides, how is this any different than what has been going on in bot lane since season 2? Supports haven't been taking creeps forever because funneling gold into a carry works. Supports exist to funnel gold because they were designed to do so, they were designed not to need money so they could funnel. What's happening now shouldn't be any surprise.
Keystone Cowboyz1 votesYes you are correct that supports are designed to function on low gold and support a carry. The problem i assume you are missing here is that the supports he is referring to is the Taric/Braum mid where they dont take farm where Yi/Graves get BOTH the jungle AND mid farm to get way ahead and solo carry. That is what is referred to as gold funneling. While in the traditional bot lane the Marksman is still only getting lane farm, nothing additional. The OP didnt specify this strat but considering its the meta thats what i assume. Getting twice as much farm is not ok. Its not ok to play a support mid but not cs or interact with an enemy laner which gives no time frames for counterplay/interaction that riot claims to want. The point you are missing is support bot lane gives no additional lead in gold/cs while support mid that gold funnels gives twice as much gold/cs/experience.
Troll for Trump2 votesWelcome to top lane.
I don't see what you mean by mid lane being a supportive role?
Linna Excel3 votesI think he's talking about the funneling strategy that's become popular. Take a support with CC mid and have him feed a hard carry jungler.
heroikc1 votesI've had to deal with a midlane pyke...starting with relic shield...permafeeding minion shots with it and leashing and joining in the roams of the jungle kayn. Apparently, midlane can be made into effective supports for jungle.
Daddy Ants1 votesRiot's looking in to weakening this gold funneling strategy.
Noor Sakata1 votesPlaying mid is like flipping a coin ,if you are a mage of course , you can roam bot , and give them double kill but if they are bad , then it's lost , you really need to be carried to win
