will we ever see supports that specialize in helping fighters or mages?
right now
and
are the only 2 supports that expressly benefit non-marksmen more with an ability, ivern Q puts juggs/divers in melee and taric's W shield scales off of ally's max health
we don't have any support that is clearly meant to work great with casters or mages, either (no mana battery or spell empowerment), and even the items are either neutral or catering towards champions with high-damage auto attacks or high attack speed (read: marksmen)

i would like to see this explored more, supports who would work VERY WELL into a mage-heavy comp by powering them up with damage or CDR that ignores the cap, or by keeping a resource-heavy champion going by refilling their mana bars during/after a fight. tools that let them play into fighter strengths with bonus damage scaling on ally HP, or adding % missing health sustain to them as a counterpart to ardent's flat healing being much better for lower-HP auto attackers.
just things like that. make supports more varied pls, there's a lot of unexplored territory with them. i would rather these things be on new champ kits, but items would be just fine, too.
exists anyway so it would be obviously better to bond to them to mana-battery
and it gets messy.
We haven't forgotten what you did, Riot. (>_>)
?
I miss mana healing.
, but I can never seem to get anyone to play them when I'm playing an enchanter support. That said, that's largely for the same reasons it helps marksmen, as you said.
is a really nice combo, so there's always that. Thresh is also a pretty big deal for melees due to his Q-W engage potential. Imagine if Kalista's ult was on a support, though! That could be pretty nice.
directly enhance their allies AA damage+AD
