Why play like a traditional support when you can build full damage

Why build Nautilus or Blitzcrank like a regular support and tank when you can just build full AP and one shot the enemies by level 3. It's more likely to get you a win than trying to help your team. It's all about damage now isn't it? Supports that can dish out lots and lots damage are the ones that are useful, not the ones who try to set up plays for their team.

Also, can you please fix the hitbox on Nautilus' hook? The visuals are really messed up and misleading.

Because mid game you become worthless. You think full ap naut is going to be useful in a 5v5 when hes dead before he can press anything?

Because not all support champions have hyperscaling like Pyke . Majority of supports' scaling suck ass amd rely on early game bullying to make their adc snowball and make a lead. Also the fact almost ALL supportd have a lack of ability to go in a solo lane because are bounded to another ally to proc them(Ahem, hello? Why can't Leona proc her own passive?!).

If you wanna spec damage on supports, then please, strictly buy magic penetration items so you can abuse your high base stats, ty.

And no, Morgana isn't a support, she's an anti mid lane mid laner now.

She was literally nerfed 4 times in a row because she started getting played mid again.

And still is, playable mid lane. With her changes since rework she just laughd it off at mage picks no matter what, and with (commencing) stopwatch and ulti she can all in assasins or punish THEIR all in.

Meanwhile some of us never stopped playing her mid all these years considering she was a mid long before she was dragged to bot lane.

At lvl3 you can't really have much AP as a support, not even close to oneshotting people. Lategame, if Blitz pulls someone, that unlucky target is usually dead regardless of Blitz's own damage. Same with Nautilus. You are free to play whatever you think will get you a win, just dont flame your team if you somehow didn't win

Sure you can't one shot someone at lvl 3 as a AP support, but Zyra can do half your health at lvl 3 and at lvl 6 she can one shot you ;) Plus if you land a root on someone with Zyra late game or even mid game, they are most likely gonna pop as long as its not a tank

Zyra can do half your health at lvl 3

If she roots you while there are 2-3 seeds nearby, yeah, you are supposed to take quite a lot of damage. Thats what you get for not dodging her slow skillshot root and not respecting her seeds power. And thats what she gets for being an immobile mage with 2 unreliable CC spells who relies on plants that can be 1-2shotted to deal decent damage. She also pops just as fast if she is the one getting caught by something
