Some context missing here, three of those champs have always been in the top few winrates amongst supports even when they're balanced.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I do think Censor's too strong, but this is hardly a conclusive point.

They never were balanced, soraka wasn't, Janna wasnt.

They also go coin, and like LankPants said, three of them always are amongst the top support winrates.

Ardent probably needs some more changes/nerfs, and coin also still gives to much gold , but it's nostly that enchanters could use some work on their kits.

If it just was the items beeing op, when why are half of the ardent/coin useing supports below 50% win?

I dont think it gives as much gold as people think. I think consistency is the real problem with it, or rather with the other items. You don't have to last hit anything, or poke anything. You get a consistent drop that gives gold. It might be considered strong early, but over the course of a game, and assuming you upgrade it into one of the items, you're still going to be lucky if it pays for itself. Even then, support is very likely to have the least amount of gold earned on a team. I'm not part of the balance team though, so personally I have no idea what I'd do to fix the problem.

Should just rework the item

Galiö3 votes

They were top 4 all season since redemption. So... idk where youve been

Zone of Endless2 votes

best bet is to wait until pre season

I highly doubt they'll do much nerfing/changes to it anytime soon™

If we dumpstered every ADC censor wouldn't be a problem.

Final Spark Lux1 votes

All we have to do is remove the life on hit from it. It's the only problem here. Nobody complained before riot had the bright idea to add life on hit to it

Fairyfleur2 votes

Wasn't that when the item was incredibly weak?

PrinceOfStorms1 votes

We also should remove life on hit from every item. ADCs should not be sustaining more than Vlad, which they do at every stage of the game.

We should also remove crit chance. ADCs should not be bursting harder than both mages and assassins, with no cooldown to their burst damage (AAs).

Wait, people are actually complain about supports?, damn the league I remember is long gone.....

As a support main I can say without question AC is broken asf. Janna has a 55+ % winrate from bronze all the way up through diamond/master/challenger.

Fairyfleur1 votes

She has always had a decent playrate and winrate, but with the recent buffs to coin along with crit items being reduced in gold has made her a peelbot for the adc. Don't make it seem like Janna had a bad winrate before, Ardent Censer has been this way for a while.

LGN Koffee2 votes

Doesn't make it any more or less broken. Janna holds a 50.56% winrate against Sona that is her LOWEST win rate against ALL champions. That is insane. LoL is like rock, paper, scissors except Janna has morphed into a metal bladed machete carved from stone and covered in gift rap. No counterplay.

Ardent cancer* Locket is retarded aswell though.

Don't forget Soraka Lol

Don't tell me Nami Janna Lulu Soraka ? or Sona instead Nami

Jaspers1 votes

Is Nami's win rate ever that high? Balanced champions don't get high win rates. Her W isn't as spamable either.

Pumping Iron2 votes

Just checked. Sona instead Nami.

You probably haven't realized it (once I tell you you'll probably be like "oh... right") but 7.18 is the Worlds patch, so they didn't wanna flip things on their heads. Expect them to nerf the item (and other things) in 7.19 almost for sure.

This is perhaps not a popular opinion but I think support power has moved too far in the direction of helping others. We have so many tools to help adc's that the adc role becomes OP (more so than it's already pretty strong right now). and essentially unkillable and most of my games revolve around who's adc has more experience. Supports by contrast when alone or even without the ADC are fairly useless. They aren't really champions. They can't be used to split-push, roam, engaging is pretty sketchy cause if you mess up your team loses fight guaranteed by not having a support behind your adc, even warding solo. Everything they do needs a team around them. (the squishy supports whom are OP right now).

This leaves them as more baby-sitters than ever before which makes the role less fun (objectively) as my only correct choice in 90% of situations is to follow the adc around all game and ignore most of the rest of my team. This is primarily an issue in soloQ where team cohesion isn't that strong but it's still an epidemic in higher league.

tldr: make supports have less tools for helping adc's (ardent censor, extra buffed shields, speed ups, etc.) but compensate them with some more base power.

Just wait for the item 3303 buff. Your top 3 will no longer be all Ardent Supports. In fact, I predictBrand Zyra Soraka will be the top 3.

That buff directly affect Sona as well so She will probably still be in her spot.

Sona isn't going to receive much from the new item 3303. She still plays like an enchanter and does better with the gold generation from item 3301 to rush item 3504. Champions like Brand Velkoz Zyra don't build Ardent, there is no need for them to rush it. They don't need the gold generation, they need lane power which is what item 3092 item 2301 will provide for support mages unless you build Sona into an AP oriented build Sona item 3100 item 3003 item 3089 summoner 14 which is possible but probably isn't as good as an Sona item 3504 item 3174 item 3107 summoner 7 Sona.

I play both types of Sona depending on the match up really. Trust me, I am a huge fan of Coin - Ardent rush. I totally agree with you.

Not sure what you're smoking, buddy. Sion definitely doesn't rush Ardent Censer.

Although, the Enchanter Sion build can be pretty fun. Trolly, but fun.

Darkeus1 votes

Sion is barely played though. I don't think it is enough to get a win rate for him at support lol
