Where are the supports?

Kabbith·Jul 12, 2016·2 votes·557 views

There are many champs in this game. But only a handful are meant for support. The reason I made this post was to point out the absence of champs meant for support(not talking about Lux or others champs that aren't meant for support).

Supports don't get much love. Every new champ is either assassin or marksman. But no supports. Support is one of my favorite roles but there aren't many good supports that I can play(yes people like support). So Riot, where are the supports? BTW is trash.

Edit: NEVERMIND BARD IS GREAT!!

The point isn't about Bard, it's about the absence of supports.

There are 26 supports in this game... I MIGHT have missed someone tho...

Almost exactly 1/5th of the champions are support material so I would say its pretty alright.

don't trust league to tell you how to play... rioters are clueless when it comes to how to play their game and a proof of that is that they need to hotfix after every release because they fucked up hard making a champion too op.

the tabs are dumb AF. ignore them. everything in the client is terrible right now, they are going to release a new client later and thats probably getting fixed or something.

Eh? I suppose he could work. I've never seen it done before, but I guess he does have knock up and a slow.

Plus he has good lane sustain from blobs. Plus add in his ult for peel/gank interupt and he works good offensively and defensively.

I shall have to try this out. Do you usually go full tank, or do you toss in a Rylai's for some offense?

Excuse me? Bard is trash? Bard main here. :^) Went from Bronze 2 -> Gold 3 playing Bard 80% of the time.

Good sir/honey; You don't play it correctly at all. It can majorly change the field of play without any hesitation. It, and I mean It ( since it's cosmic being ) is a VERY GOOD support, especially in this meta. You must not meet a lot of them; then. Supports are common, in Bronze people are VERY VERY hesitant to play support. A lot of people in Bronze like to dive constantly, and they like to play aggressively.
