Another year off from League??

So I started playing in season 3, got to gold 5.

Then the support changes came.

Didn't play ranked season 4 because I was so incensed. Came back season 5, if all goes well I'll end at diamond 5.

Then I see the new vision changes.

Riot why don't you just come out and say that you fucking hate the support position and you think that the rest of the game hates the role too. Basically you have the flashies who if they 'have to support' will think that Thresh or Brand or Leona is freelo and try to make mad LCS plays which is FINE but there are also INTRICACIES to support cause we also have runes and masteries and build paths and counters and most importantly WARDING which is an important part of a support's job and I DON'T KNOW why you think you have to give the whole goddamn team responsibility to ward when that WILL NOT HAPPEN at low elo and it's gonna be toxic.

HOW ABOUT A NEW SIGHTSTONE, the level 2 or 3 or whatever, that lets the holder place SIX wards on the map instead of 3??

NOW THAT'S A GOOD IDEA WHERE'S MY PAYCHECK

JUST STOP DILUTING MY ROLE AND TRYING TO FORCE ME TO EITHER BE A CC BOT, A SECOND APC, OR SOME OTHER SHIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW

see you season 7

I main support after ADC.. Im a bit scared of this too.. not just as a support secondary but also as an ADC... I know supports do their job well but without wards and they cant ward well till sightstone..... O_O

and As a support how do I protect my carry? Do I just say we need to freeze lane every game?

seriously it's balderdash; if I'm Soraka or Janna and I'm backing with less than 800 gold for some reason I'm getting Nomad's and wards instead of ruby crystal but WITH NO GREEN WARDS WTF it's going to punish me for not being able to buy sightstone on first back.

Like you said it's going to make bot lane less dynamic.

They said yellow trinket starts with 2 charges. So after first back you Buy a pink and whatever you can afford. And you have 5 wards to use in bot. I am not sure what I think about the new vision path they are going on but I don't see how this point you make matters when for free you have twice as much vision as this season and pinks are cheaper.

nope, still hate it

I enjoy looking at stats after a winning ranked game and seeing how much I outwarded and outhealed the enemy support

THESE STATS MATTER

Season 5 supports buy sightstone and not green wards. Season 6 supports look like they will........ Buy sightstone and not green wards.... Not sure how it effects supports that much. If you were buying greens on top of your sightstone not sure if I missed a memo somewhere. Your warding will still be limited by the same item. Sightstone.

From my perspective and understanding, they aren't diluting the support role so much as differntiating it from being synonymous with a vision-bot. (Of course this mostly came in season 4).

But i think their goal is to continue to make the vision game a team-based effort instead of focusing it on one (or two with the jungler) champions.

The role of support is a lot more than providing vision. Really any utility that does not depend on expensive items can fall within the purview of a support (or tactician, whatever you want to call it -- not a fan of 'support' myself). Admittedly at the current moment it seems to be mostly CC, but hopefully that will become more diversified.
