Psst - This is why I don't like playing Supports anymore

(95% of my games are on support this season by the way. Supported from Silver to Gold, then basically gave up and played like 1-2 games everyday of ranked because . . . well, normals means you instantly get fed and it's boring af.)

I used to main Soraka But the community said: summoner 14 Soraka shouldn't be able to heal so much. Who cares if she lacks and and all combat capabilities to defend herself with, or that she completely and totally gives up any sort of independence that some champions might have. We shouldn't have to focus a healer, or use items that completely shut her down- or pick one of the thirty champions that can actually one shot her. (Seriously there is so many options to fuck Soraka up Lmao)

So I just quit playing Soraka because I knew she was going to get nerfed into the ground regardless of all of the factors that could be adapted to.

But there was also a time I used to play Lulu as my main, I played her before all of the Lulu top/mids were played. But the community said: summoner 14 Lulu shouldn't be able to solo lane, she is toxic to play against in this very small pool of champions that exist in the top lane. And she isn't fun to play against mid, because like, she can survive and lane push. I totally agree with you, champions like Nasus and Jax can't fight Lulu . . . but you know who can fight Lulu? Champions that aren't top laners and mid laners. Who gives a fuck if it's breaking the meta, do you really wanna see a Fiora in every game just as much as Yasuo and Lee?

So I just quit playing Lulu because I knew she was going to get nerfed into the ground regardless of all of the factors that could be adapted to.

But there was also a time I used to play Sona as my main, I played her in lower elos because of obvious reasons - lower elo doesn't know how to retaliate and when they do, we win because they took so much poke or wasted mana. The champions kit works like this: You poke, if they hit you back then heal. If this consists over time, you will run OOM and if the enemy laners are smart- they will engage on you or pick an engager like Leona or especially Braum. But the community said: summoner 14 Sona shouldn't be able to do damage, she's a support. I mean who cares if her heal is like literally 130 mana at max rank. Her cooldowns are too short, I mean who cares if she has like the worst movespeed buff in the entire game (unless you went full AP rabadons with mobiles: Sneaky) and a half ass heal that also gives a shield? Nobody cares that her Q does literally nothing after lane phase- or that she needs to get within auto attack range to use her passive. She's just SOOOOOO broken. M8.

So I just quit playing Sona because I knew she was going to get nerfed into the ground regardless of all of the factors that could be adapted to. (I have not seen Sona at all this season. I don't even think 1 game! LOL)

So after so many different mains being pummeled into the ground I just said fuck it. And tried new mains that were mid laners and dubbed "super fucking balanced kappa" and now I play supports like: Orianna Syndra MissFortune Zilean Ziggs Kayle Sejuani Nami

item 3070 So as a support main I recommend: If you aren't a Leona (This bitch doesn't even exist on Riots radar, let's be honest here) or Thresh main, don't expect to be a top dog for long. Supports aren't allowed to be a top dog, and you never will get a special spotlight that is reserved for your Thresh, Lee, Yasuo mains. Don't ever expect to be doing your job in a really efficient manner, that only means that your champion is unbalanced and it truly isn't your own work; it is the champions. Play something dubbed "balanced" into the support role that can either burst or offer some kind of pseudo peel to take the pressure off of your adc. You'd better hope that your support main is in the shadows like Taric, but don't worry, it isn't so bad. It isn't like those champions are not only bound to do no damage and a limited amount of CC but you're also extremely abused by lack of money, items that offer more CDR and mana regen for champions that don't need it. Have fun being a shadow of what your role is suppose to be.

I'm confused because you're talking about Soraka Lulu Sona like they're gutted when they're all still pretty strong
