Solution to long wait times! - Supports Need a Buff!
There are long wait times because instead of 20% of the community choosing the support role, it's more like 5%! Why is this? "It's really hard to make the game winning difference as support, as opposed to all other roles."
Should there really be 1 role that has lower impact and is desired so much less than the rest? In fact, the popular facebook page "League of Legends Memes" shows that more than 20% of commenters identify as support mains. It is sad that support mains feel like they should not pick support role in ranked :(
Solution: BUFF SUPPORTS so that they have as much overall impact as other roles.
Am I saying make them "dmg carries?" No. But make them BETTER at what they do!
Support typically provide CC, peel, frontline, engage, sheilds, and healing. How can we make these stronger? If you simply buff the "support champions" people will take those champions to the mid /top and nothing will. You can only buff the support role by buffing support ITEMS...
THE SOLUTION IS TO BUFF SUPPORTS BY BUFFING SUPPORT ITEMS!
-If supports can earn more passive gold, they will be able to by more items and be a stronger overall presence and more effective in their respective role.
-If
can be combined with support items (while still retaining the support item's original passive item's original passive;
), it will free up a whole extra inventory spot, which will allow them to be better at what they do
-Allow supports to buy more than one support item! (This would probably require creating new support items)
-Allow support items to permit even MORE than the regular CDR cap. Imagine
, with 55% CDR? Then people would pick support role in rank!!
If you like these ideas, comments and thumb up this post :)
is no longer that "random situational item that people hardly ever build".
has a slightly better reason to be built earlier.
all got directly buffed.
got an actual support-oriented buff that's not shit for once.
will finally get some identity buff, if anything.
