A "letter" to Riot about supports
(The first part of this post is sarcasm if you dont notice it) Hello Riot, I'm glad you have a balance team that does their best and find ways to motivate players to continue playing, specially after years of community topics about towers, damage creep, annoying and disguting champs to play against and over buffed champs.
A while ago we had a little "censer meta" which i enjoyed because i'm a peel support main, mostly nami, Ofc that was not balanced but i abused it as everyone did. I didnt like that it was so broken though.
But the thing with peel supports is that they are already ultra weak, they have way less stats than other champions, they dont have chance to carry if your team is bad because their damage and tankiness is basically none, and they are usually underated, its like if you were racist with supports like "Nah, supports are bullshit, don't play them, they are just a healing bot or a ward bot, they die? its normal, they have 0IQ because they play support", thats how i feel people see the role, specially riot, specifically peel, tanks are kinda fine.
A while ago i wanted to make my own version of a "support update", balancing items, shields and champions, so they were way more fun to play, way less underrated and they could carry by themselves instead of relying in your other allies.
I did a lot of stuff, with new ideas but i never posted it, why? Because everytime i posted something i got negatives and i never got any attention from Riot, even if I gives why and how to fix things...
In other games, supports are not underated, they are core in the team and they can make plays and even carry, in league? They are heal warding bots.
Now, with the last changes, There are not anymore peeling supports, they were already super weak in other areas, you over nerfed the only thing they were good at, one of the few things made support fun for me, shielding an ally so he didnt die to an assasin just because their bust were of another world or healing an adc that was about to die so he could be a bit more in teamfight.
But now? If you are gonna be racist with supports, if you hate them, and i know there are a lot of people that hate peeling supports, mostly because they play assasins and its like "HAAAA FUCKING LULU LET ME KILL BOTH OF YOU", which doesnt make sense as thats her purpose... If you hate them, if you are gonna be racist with the role, remove them, remove nami, lulu, janna and soraka, because if you are not gonna balance the game at all, you better don't, that way supports will quit and go to another game.
I'm tilted, maybe what I'm saying looks like a crying letter, but what else could I say, i'm an indie developer and everything i worked on was way more balanced that this game, please stop acting like a group of 2 indie developers who just started to have fun making their first champion.
Now negatives to me, but i really wanted to say this, i love peel supports, now i have to either quit the game or start playing what i dont enjoy.
