My opinion on supports

Tarquin96·10/20/2017, 6:27:13 PM·5 votes·530 views

Now i have seen a lot of people complain about ardents,supports mostly enchanters than can abuse said item. but what i think the problem with supports is that they cant really be 2 support meats at once,what i mean is if catchers are strong(bltiz,thresh,morgana) supports like janna cant really do much since they adc or them get cced and kill , if enchanetrs are strong they can negate the effect of the cc with heals and shields (its like rock paper scisors but rock beats both if strong and so on). My solution would be to make more support items that cant get used by other supprot classes , epart some items that are a clear representation of skill ( maybe even rework ohmwreacker) , locket was a step in the right direction because it was made mroe effective on tanky supports,now we only need more items like this , 1 or 2 for tanky supports,1-2 for dmg supports and some changes to the exsisting support items to make some of them like mikales usable on all types and not 50% useless on everything not a enchanter . THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND MIGHT NOT BE WHAT SUPPORTS NEED P.S. I might have some typing mistakes because i try and type fats and English isnt my first langue

the problem with separating things by class is that most classes include more than supports, and most supports can double as another class.

EX: tank support item is useable on melee only champions but that includes fighters assassins and tanks as well as supports. it would likely have to build out of relic shield or another item mixed with relic shield

EX: enchanter support item for ranged supports, which includes marksmen and mages and four weirdos (kayle, jayce, elise, and nidalee) would likely need to build from STE or mix with it.

Don't know why you mentioned janna like she's trash tier when she is still top tier.

In my opinion, you want less class exclusive items, not more.

Arden's is pretty class exclusive as it's ability only applies on heal/shield use. And with it being the meta pickup, it has forced an enchanter exclusive meta.

Contrast that to the Redemption Locket meta. Despite the enchanter scaling stats, Redemption was still a good pick up on anyone, because you picked it up for it's active component. So Even when those items were strong, no one was left out. Although, Riot has since tried to tie those items more strongly to their classes. (HP scaling on Locket shield, Healing/shielding power scaling on Redemption)

If Riot did end up with a Melee only support item, and for what ever reason forced a melee support meta. People will either cry for it to be gutted, or question whether is should be Melee only.
