If you have a write-in option such as "Support, you assholes, leave it as is" please attach that to a brick and throw it through the nexus during your next game.*

*must be your next game and no later. Brick must be provided by summoner. Rito is not liable for you getting pummeled into paste by the police of Summoner's Rift.

I was expecting the mad max gif to be the first. But I like that one too.

There isn't actually any reason to change it.

I don't feel like you can just rename the support role. Didn't Riot try to rename ADC's o Marksman and it (practically) failed?

I didn't like their 4 suggestions, so I added a few of my own. I fully predict this will be about as successful as the marksmen rename was.

How about "Mage failure"

just call it support

people need to just accept support and appreciate it as a role in the game

now go play support

I'm detecting a slight amount of hostility.

Are you operating under the assumption that I actually approve of this nonsense? If so, I guess you're not alone. Everyone seems to be downvoting the thread. They must think I'm the moron that decided support was going to be renamed.

1st off for you to assume my comment was directed at you is pretty self centered and egotistic ...

2nd off no hostility at all... expect for all those who bitch and cry over support typically its the ones who never fukin play the role

3rd off changing the name to it dont mean shit , just as the new classification system of wardens, vangaurds , juggernauts etc , its damage carries, bruisers/fighters, tanks no need to try to make everything have its only lil box to shove it into.

I quite agree on both your points. I'll disregard the first statement, it surely doesn't apply to me.

I dont really know if it will change anything to the actual role, but i though of a name : guardian. I know it is simple but it is actually what it feels like to play support. You are there for you're team, you help, you heal, you protect, you ward. That is my idea, feel free to let me know your thoughts on it
