riot is dead to me now.......they are ruining the support class i mean we have alot to deal with. we fucking die like rats in the gutter for the team. and now they are telling me i have to fucking die more because shields which arent even very effective are now lasting like half duration. seriously ....i think its about time to turn in my mantle on this game dota2 looks fun lol
As a support main, I don’t feel like I’m doing anything anymore. I mean sure I see someone like Nami right now with over 50% win rate but before season 8 I felt like my choices with her were meaningful. Now it feels like my heals do nothing, cause everyone gets blown up anyway, locket doesn’t shield enough, and it feels impossible to land cc because of everyone picking super mobile champions.
Should I move on to tank supports? Nope because they did in like 3 seconds thanks to all the damage and the true damage that has no counterplay other than rush health. Am I supposed rush warmogs first item instead of trying to do my job as a support and protect my teammates? Should I pick shield supports? Never really mattered since even shielded allies got blown up anyway and now they have nerfed many shield supports shield durations. I guess my best option is to play mage supports like Brand and Zyra who can have a hard time landing their abilities on the popular super mobile champions.
Sigh, I just want the game to go back to when supports felt fun and useful again. More than that, I want to go back to when league was fun again where one death/gank did not decide which team got which team got drake, first turret, and a massive gold advantage that allowed them to instantly snowball out of control.
I want to go back to when it felt like my choices were meaningful and that if I messed up I still had a chance to make up for my mistakes. I’m tired of games instantly being decided in champ select where I’d you don’t pick the best champs that are super boring, you instantly lose and I’m so sick of all this damage that I feel like I don’t even get a second to be impactful before the Irellia, Camille etc... jumps on me, kills me in .5 seconds and jumps on everyone else to get the easy pentakill because oh my goodness I totally got outplayed so hard.
Why did the game have to become this just take me back to when league was good.
k bye
i mean shields have been so op and broken for a long time if you can remember. Ardent censor being released made all shield supports broken af and there was nothing anyone could do about it ... BUT ... Now that Pyke exists, a large number of shield champions were forced to play differently. no longer spamming shields on low health members of the team but instead throwing them on full heath members.. and as of right now, there is no champion that can negate shields all together (yes i know i just said pyke but his R is an execute and nothing else of his kit ignores shields so pressing R on a 2-3k hp Zac with a fat 900+ hp locket shield on him is not gonna one shot him)
So there really isn't much riot can do besides nerf shields a little. 
of course all having scaling for the shield so its not like you couldn't compromise by getting health or ap instead of the one extra shield power item?
and how long would it take for you to even have those items on a sup in league of legends enough said. if you have never main a sup u have no idea what these nerfs actually mean.
AHAHAHAHAH IF YOU MAIN SUPPORT AND YOU HEAD ON OVER TO DOTA 2 YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE REALLY DISAPPOINTED LMAOOOO
Duration isnt really a nerf
