are for the hard engage and other than heal from
item, do they provide shield or buffs? Do ADC players say that these champions are in support for hard engage and how they don't give shields.
Mages are played in support for damage they bring. Different mage supports have different characteristics-
can shield, while others are mostly for damage -
. Interesting thing about the mage supports is that they can do damage, be useful to team even when bot lane is lost. The five champions I mentioned first are all melee and to procc relic shield, they are often in between ADC and opponent minions, so they get the attention of opponents which doesn't punish the bad positioning of ADC players. But mage supports are usually near ADC, mostly positioned better and safer than ADC which means that it is easy to punish the ADC if they position themselves badly.
Other than not babysitting ADC, mage supports can 1v2 and get a kill themselves. Isn't this good for the team? Yes; but ADC players consider this as bad. Many games I have seen ADC players doing nothing, auto-attacking minions, while I go 1v2 to poke opponents and get their hp down. When I am about to get kill, the afk ADC suddenly jumps into fight/flashes into fight to get the kill. If they get the kill, its not a problem:I too don't bother because they get gold and because they don't farm properly, I leave kill gold to them.
But if I get the kill (
plants or
Q or
R) even when I did like 85-90% of the damage, it becomes a ks as per the ADC. For
its his passive- which causes true damage. I have seen
players having same issue, as he can deal lot of damage and getting kills due to passive. This somehow annoys adc because they consider every kill near them is theirs and constantly waste time in writing in chat blaming supp for ks; if they actually show that effort for farming properly or positioning correctly, we won't be seeing bot lane feeding often.
Regarding your case, the ADC players generally prefer
(or
) because of the damage it brings.
starting Q (or even E) is always better I guess, as she is there for that annoying low cd Q :P Haven't played much of Soraka, but does she reach 3000 hp for
passive?
