Can the next support champion NOT be about dashing or being attached to your ADC
Seriously, is Riot running out of ideas?
,
and
all have mechanics which require them to "dash to their ADC" and put themselves in harms way. I find this mechanic endlessly annoying in League. When they reworked
they made him utterly useless without an ADC to be attached to and destroyed one of my favourite champions in the process.
The only new "support" and I use that word lightly who does not have this awful mechanic is
and he's not really a support but an assassin with a tacked on "kill-share" mechanic on him.
I was excited for
because they looked really cool but as soon as I saw the "jumping to your ally" mechanic, I decided not to buy the champion. Too many supports do this and its a boring overused crutch. When will Riot give us a traditional support like
or
(The latter with a heal that doesn't cause you to cut yourself to use) that is NOT dependent on being near your ADC so it can be played in multiple lanes.
When did variety in approaches, item builds, runes and lanes leave this game? You can see this so clearly with supports, which reworks have locked them into botlane or in the case of champions like
, destroyed their ability to support all together.
