Do we want another traditional support next?

It's been a while since we've had a proper traditional support and the support champs that have been launched were rather complicated.

I hope Riot will release a traditional support like Janna, Nami, Lulu, Morgana soon. What are your thoughts on a traditional support for a next champion. I'm hoping for something straight forward with just regular abilities, non complicated.

i really dont care much but i do have this to say

Janna Balance nightmare, litterally always good. 1 demotional and simple kits without delays or other mechanics are either garbage or god tier depending on whats meta but this champ nearly always has surpassed that. simple isnt better. its arguably always worst

Lulu Balance nightmare as either to much damage and she is a top laner or to much utility and she turns ADC's into unstoppable kill monggers

Nami a mix of both lulu and janna but has delays and lower damage overall so she is atleast fair to play against even when she is strong

Morgana morgana? a Traditional support? tfw you were nerfed outa midlane so hard people forgot you were one of the firsts there

I was doubting to put Morgana on the list, but because of her simplicity and utility toolkit I added her.

Janna in my opinion has been mostly balanced, yes she has been in the God tier most of the past, but she is the epitomy of support if you ask me. Also this might sound ridiculous but Janna has a high skill cap when it comes to timing and decision making.

Lulu had defintely had her ups and downs. Standalone she's not that great, but with for instance a Kog or Twitch, she can be a monster.

Nami has been all around the tier list, but she's had her time to shine and she's personally my favourite support to play.

I forgot one support though, shame shame shame. Sona

janna does not have a high skill cap, for being as simple as she is she does have a handful of tricks. but nothing that requires dedication to the champion.

lulu has been great and continues to be great because of dive meta's. we are going through a assassin meta right now. it is not just the adc although she does have great synergy with a few.

the champions arent the issue. its the argument that simplicity is good.

I definitely do. It's cool to see uniqueness like Pyke (one of my favorite champs), Akali, Xayah, Aatrox, etc, but everyone just does so much damage and really takes the teamplay / peel aspect out of the game. I mean, literally with Pyke and Akali you just dive on people without much counterplay (compared to Udyr, Warwick, ADCs, etc.)

Define "traditional."

A support that has mainly abilities to buff/boost/aid friendly players. To categorize

Buff/enchanters Janna Karma Lulu Morgana Nami Sona Soraka

Guardians Braum Blitzcrank Leona TahmKench Thresh Taric

I might be missing some, but this seems to me to be the core.
