Riot should reduce support income to season 3 levels.

Supports get their items too fast because they get so much fucking gold from their gold income items as well as support items being cheap. These cheap items have more impact than the most expensive fighter/mage/marksman items. These classes need to farm hard to be able to afford these items. Meanwhile a support can have near 0 cs and reach full build faster than a fighter with near perfect farm. Last time I checked supports should be able to function without gold.

Supports are a bit too over buffed. Brand support with a 5 ap item will 1v1 anyone on your team.

What's the difference between a mid lane brand and a support one?

Remember when riot buffed supports to actually be a team member instead of a liability nobody wants to play?

Get used to it. Botlane is a duo now, not one person and a giant minion.

Medium minion.

True, i guess. One super minion is stronger than any S3 support.

Except it was never like that. People just bitched for no reason.

Support kits are and have always been overtuned to work effectively without gold income, with all this extra cash they get nowadays they're actually too strong and have disproportionate impact on the game in comparison with the effort it actually takes on them.

lol, first of all, anybody who says "get used to it", I wish I can meet you in real life so I can help you get used to my many Kershaws and ZTs and Microtechs. I think a tough guy like you would love them.

Secondly, I fucking WISH my lane minions could give me mana back . Or had a potential 5 man stun . Or had the most insane engage potential in game . Or, you know, just gave me a GA for free every 30 seconds . Season three supports actually had to focus on using their unique kits, instead of popping a shield and then sitting back to laugh at any attempts at diving.

I am not sure what the fuck you are talking about, but you seem unusually mad for no obvious reason.

Maybe consider being less insecure?

Maybe you liked it, but supports dont. Sadly, you are nobody and you dont have a more important voice than the vast majority.

Maybe consider being less condescending? One day you're going to do that to the wrong person at the wrong time, and the next thing you know a bullet might just have gone through your head.

That escalated quickly.

the big thing is that if we revert then we go back to queue times being fucking atrocious at all levels AND hurts the game

I remember back when people complained about support income being too low and then they finally buffed it and went too far and every team had a second mage in the bot lane with annie support being pick/ban at worlds
