APC Support

1 800 Top Lane·Oct 18, 2016·2 votes·404 views

Can we please talk about the fact that supports don't even play supports anymore?

It's just full blown apc with adc's down bot lane.

It's just really annoying to have to deal with that in a game, there is no counterplay with the amount of damage in this game.

I main top lane and if bot lane feeds I usually only had to deal with a fed adc. Now it's always a fed adc and a pure CC damage machine apc. It's simple minded and dumb.

Before you call me salty, I rarely lose to this, I'm just tired of seeing people choose support so they can say screw their own team and or synergy because you want to be selfish and play an apc bot. (Refusing to build sightstone etc)

Hmm, I did not realize I don't play supports anymore. What is my role called now and what are sona, leona, lulu, nami, soraka and taric now classified as?

Several mages can function perfectly fine as supports (and in some cases excel at the role). Annie, Brand and Vel'koz are probably the most well known examples of such champions.

So long as they build a gold generation item and Sightstone, they can build pretty much anything else they want afterwards.

you rarely lose to it but do you understand why? Did you notice that some toplane bruisers also go bot or have you just gotten used to it?

HUGE difference between an ad bruiser and an APC's burst damage. We're talking 500?900? from the bruiser? And clear over 2,000 burst from apc supports And hell thats around lvl 11
