I've Been Feeling Kinda "Lost" this Preseason

Çhåryzård··1 votes·461 views

I've mained Nami and Sona since I became a support main 3 years ago. I generally do well with them, but with the Sona nerfs and the enchanter nerfs coming up I just feel like, lost.

Have you ever mained something only to find that all of a sudden you just can't seem to win a game as them, even though you're not really doing anything wrong? That's the feeling I feel when I try to play this game right now. It's just the competition is so much stronger and no matter how well you do, they win. Leona is a monster right now, that little nerf she got did absolutely nothing and by nerfing her competition into the ground she's only going to get worse.

I totally believe that after last season tank supports needed a buff so that they can do more for their team in game, but I don't think crapping on enchanters was the way to do that.

I get the easiest thing for me to do is just learn tank supports, and believe me I've tried, but I'd really hate having to dump my main and play something I don't enjoy playing just to win 1 goddamn game as support.

This doesn't just go for me or for the support role. This entire preseason has felt like one gigantic mess. So much is wrong and there is only so much you can do. You ban one problem, you get another. Games are so snowbally. You have unkillable tanks and/or tanks that do way too much damage simply from runes. The amount of damage in this game is so high.

I may not have been playing that long, but 3 years ago the game did not feel this toxic to play and I just feel so lost.

i feel like you probably need to talk actual other players and get their thoughts on this in like a 1 on 1 talk tbh, i could discuss your post here with ya but i feel like there are so many points to discuss that maybe its better that you talk to someone in a back and forth conversation, anyways that was also an offer btw :P

I mained Support last season. I mained Janna, Lulu, or Morgana. I felt the same way you did once 7.22 hit.

Now, I'm a Jungler. It took some time to get used to, even at the basic level.... but it's way worth it. It's a lot of fun. I'm not suggesting that you switch to jungle, but maybe you might want to try another role altogether. Branch out and see where your potential lies.

I've been playing Lux mid every game recently.

I used to main Gnar top before I became a support so I can try that I guess

I just wish I didn't have to stop playing what I love if I want to win games

Also, I might add that your experience as a support makes you a MUCH better player in other roles.

Nami is doing as well as Sona was. If you don't want to play Sona anymore, just play Nami.

Not really no...

The other week she was in 9th place out of all the supports.

She's in 11th place now and it's still dropping.

Nami's win rate is like 52% on Lolalytics...which is where Sona WAS before the Q changes.

If you want, just play Nami. If you just want to play the most broken support in the game, play Leona.
