Was nerfing supports REALLY such a good idea?

I mean think about it. Who STOPS snowballing from happening?

When MasterYi & Katarina are 7/0 guess who prevents them from going berserk and killing EVERYBODY? Lulu

When Jayce becomes a god with 10/0 and deals 3/4 your HP with a single Q guess who makes up for this loss? Soraka

When Nocturne becomes an actual nightmare because he just got a pentakill with 3 bounties to spend, guess who can prevent him from instant-winning the game? Alistar

Seriously, supports WEREN'T the god damn problem. Now people just get fucking nuked and I can't do shit about it. That's why I just straight up DON'T play those guys anymore. The damage creep is too much to handle, so why not just join the crowd and kill people myself? Jeez. This game feels like it's getting Call-Of-duty-fied.

Halo was the same way. You take a game that wasn't meant to be this insane game pace and just make it a shithole to play because $ $ $ $ $ and it feels identical here as well. The game pace is WAYYYY too god damn fast.

Same, Though I have picked up Syndra support for shits and giggles. At first I just did it for fun but it actually works for me. But then again...i'm low elo and anything can work down here.

I played Fiddlesticks and he is broken in support. but non enchanters support are not fun and not my type. They will not protect ADC and with them whoemever wins bot fight will win the lane forever. If i picked Janna and i do dare try to use my W on someone for my manaflow chance is i lose huge amount health from Dravin with conqueror for example.

Sona with old runes and mastery was great. the old manaflow was alright after the change of manaflow im forced to rush tear and game is short i will have no time to build much on her. She is really mana hungry and if i play her i will go Dark Harvest its way better than playing her healer since her heals are not so good atm with those tons of damage.

Nami However stands the best and strongest enchanter in the game and let us hope they dont nerf her. Her ability's are good for everyone and any meta and champs. E buff with CC, W strongest heal + damage + another heal or vice versa. R is engage or disengage ability and Q deadly AOE knockup that ruins the game for the enemy.

Well, people bitched about shields so much, now they got this. To be fair, shields and heals weren't even that big of a deal. item 3123 destroys healing, and RITO could have just touched shielding a little tiny bit.

The argument on boards was:

"Omfg a support can have a PERMANENT SHIELD-"

Without taking into consideration that the shield costed resources and if your name wasn't Lulu, it wasn't permanently in place. Having a permanent shield anyways didn't offer a lot, if anything, it offered less than 500G value worth of HP(At that state of the game. Beginning stages the shield can go down to about 150G worth of HP or less: excluding Janna. But Janna has NEVER in her history ever been OP. . . . which turns out to be around the cost of item 1028 ++ or lower depending on the stage of the game.

Which again.

That's LITERALLY 1 auto attack from an adc, so it's protection against Assassins and bruisers . . .

. . .

Which are currently doing thousands of damage per combo enter the stage you have a permanent shield in the first place. Bruisers are not doing so much damage, however, the shield would supply enough additional shielding to not be, in itself, overpowered. Now . . .

Proplay.

Well, It really fucking sucks to watch KogMaw Lulu + Darius item 3190 + JarvanIV item 3190 + Swain because you are NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER going to be able to kill that Kog'Maw. But that's not the god damn Lulu's Fault.
