"Anything can be a support, as long as it has high Magic Damage, range and has CC."

This is the meta of the game right now. This includes AP "Supports" like Malzahar, Zyra, Brand and even Xerath to an extent.

I don't mind diversity in the support line up, but when supports like these can push all other supports out of the meta (barring Lulu and Janna) and especially punishing melee supports for being melee, this is considered unhealthy imo.

Cassiopeia Azir AurelionSol Karthus Leblanc Taliyah Viktor are pretty shit supports because they need to build mana or AP to actually do damage. Some of them,even with cc, can't even peel very good.

I've seen Cass bot before and yeah, don't ask me how disgusting her damage was throughout all stages of the game.

That's cass apc, a cass support can barely peel for her carry and has no mana unless she's holding off on sightstone and just building full dmg.

Even Teemo vs melee supports, they made it so frost queen's passive is applied by his E dot now.

Except when there's a Vayne.

Not really. I meant Sion's strength as support isn't born from being a punching bag alone. He's got great poke, decent CC, and good roam potential.

They do not push all other champs out of the meta. Also, the hook champions are still plenty viable.

Those are the exceptions as well that I didn't add unto the list of the exempted supports.
