Riot Games, this is why I quit support/immobile champions

So, today I played support... hated it. Do you ever wonder how to get away from Zed as Zyra ? He W then ulted but I flashed and ofc for some reason he has to follow me. It sucks. Then Pyke got onto me after I died. He has a slow, a fixed distance pull, a dash with a follow up stun, ult (another dash with reset), ms increase + invisibility. Neither can I kill him without him getting away, nor get away from him. Then a (obv there is always one in a normal game) Yasuo chased me trough mid, dodging my root and getting onto me without me being able to do much. You see a pattern?

If Zed does W R and I flash, its the same distance as Camille E, 2 hookshots and 1 non empowered walldive (Camille has the longest dash on basic ability so I compare it to her). Now imagine being a harmless Soraka going trough mid and Yasuo catching up to you with a distance of 2 full Camille E´s. Which is almost from t1 tower mid to the other t1 tower just to get a idea of what Im talking.

I understand that the best way to avoid it is not to be there at all and more vision. But if you accidentally see a Zed while deep warding, with item 3142 he will always catch up no matter the distance. Couldn't there be any def items that can actually help you getting away from them?I mean item 3157 helps sometimes when you are at a good spot to use it. This is one of the reasons why people don't play something like Maokai but instead Irelia . This sucks for KogMaw ,Xerath, Anivia, Annie, Orianna… mains/onetricks. Too many dashes for new champions but less counterplay (think about old Akali W which made you obscure from tower, that's how it feels to play against that).

So this is just ONE of the reasons I actually hate to play support rn even if Im a support main. Riot wont give a s***, as always but still we can crybaby for no reason and waste our time. [sg-janna]

well first of all. xerath does better midlane then support

hourglass is a good counter for zed.

as for pyke we seem to finally be getting a mage version of item 3140 so thats nice.

Xerath vsYasuo

if theXerath knows what hes doing he wins in a stomp

xeraths a hard counter for yas, but zeds a hard counter for xerath.(which is why i always ban zed in ranked.)

however i do agree champions like Soraka need a better escape her E takes to long to snare enemies for it to be of any use. Lulu is just dead currently.

Sona has her stun and a e that speeds her up.

Zyra is nightmare fuel to lane against even if you have high mobility. those plants hurt like hell

i barely seeCamille anymore what happened to her?
