the moment you suggest to add skillshots to support champions support players lose their minds

because riot has cemented the idea of unskillful, low risk high reward point and click gameplay into the support role and the support playerbase hates the idea of actually having to play the game like the rest of us

Most support champs have at least one skill shot if not two. What are you yammering about?

You forgot some

Soraka Sona Janna Ivern Lulu Lux Your forgot even more. In fact, Sona's ultimate has bee almost verbatim the same in her kit from her launch, as has Janna's tornado.

it's true, though I don't really consider lux/ivern supports since they are much better in different roles.. I tried to stay away from the others here cuz these are the common champs ppl complain about having the point and click abilities, and tbh their strongest features are point and click. And then there's sona lol, but yeah you right.

Ivern is played in the jungle, but he's a support character by definition. He's not an ADC, he's not an APC, he's not a tank. He's a utility support, so he does qualify, even if he's not in a duo lane. Lux also sees a great deal of time in the support role in the bot lane, so she certainly qualifies, especially if Brand does.

i dont know if it should always be skillshots but minigames and shit to actually do besides afking with your shield button taped down would be gr8

Make the rest of the kit interesting. We don't need shield bots but we can have shields. The items like item 3504 aren't helping that issue though.

ALL skills should be skill shots. Autoattacks should be skillshots even heals should be skillshots.

Make this game like Bloodline Champions were EVERY ability was a skillshot.

Oh wait Bloodlines Champions kind of failed.

You mean shields? Uh why would you ever make a shield a skill shot. That sounds fucking awful.

What suggestion? Did I missed it somewhere? I didn't read anything anyone said about adding skillshots to support?

Most support already have skillshots anyway unless you're talking about shields/heals. If they made shields/heals a skillshot they would have to buff it even more since now there's a good chance you'll miss. Not only that but making heal/shield a skill shot will make it incredibly terrible to play as support and mage support will just dominate again.
