@Riot, a support main has some questions

CaptainAntiHeroz··2 votes·1,254 views

I know the game is in a progressive state and things are changing, some for the better some for the worse but I don't mind because the game is still changing. What I do mind, is that with 800+ hours 202 levels later I still can't figure out what I, as the support can do against the majority of the things you've implemented into the game. I'm all for assassins being able to assassinate people, but when the healer is one of those people...... Soraka has to give too much to be a great choice in this early game meta Morgana cc doesn't stop Garen because he has a w and Merc treads and just 2 shot my carry even after the q hit, e, and trying to r him off to no avail Pyke has the worst hook in the game and can't really "support" in the sense of peeling Sona has such high Mana costs if you fall behind in items you have no way to get the money to catch up Nami w is still arguably the best heal in the game because she can poke and heal (2 people) Leona can't tank with your true damage fetish (or she can, but way less effectively) Janna shield is too expensive for how short it lasts now (I'm fine with the shorter duration but lower the cost by like 10-15?) I'm okay with Lulu right now no issues there FIX KARMA FFS what is her purpose? Cc? Nope. Poke? Yeah.... Until they decide to all in you and kill you because your shield SUCKS still not gonna address zilean as a champion off of personal preference, no offense intended to his creator but he's weird af Bard.... I'm not gonna lie that champ fun after Tahm kench is WAY too hard to kill for how much damage he can do Brand shouldn't be able to do that much damage with just a spellthief... Seriously lower that passive early game at least it's oppressive Lux is worse than teemo with how evil she is all this "SCORCH!" ult every 15 seconds, lower the e damage a bit early to champs at least Zyra has this issue of "my plants are taking your cs and I can't stop them" Nidalee should appear as a support as well please, she's very good at it Blitz kinda feels like a hit or miss entirely reliant on your team comp Braum literally depends on his adc to have common sense and decision making capability which is hard in my elo lol Thresh: STOP BODY BLOCKING MY LANTERN ENEMY TEAM, LET MY CARRY GO HE'S ALREADY 0/7/5 AD supports like pyke (or any off meta thing) don't really have items that are useful to help people, please make some ad support items with actives that are supportive, like the move speed aoe item Orianna can go in supports too please, I enjoy her ever since that box gave me that epic Gothic skin Nerfed all the supports and their items but buffed damage? Make more support items to compensate please. And my buddy Rakan? MAKE MY WAY UNINTERUPTABLE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! STUCK IN THE ANIMATION FOR LONG ENOUGH ANYWAY like seriously the animation is super long, and he can be displaced??? QOL change please thank you Alistar? Lore buff please And finally IVERN ........

Anyway if any Rioters actually read all of this, firstly I'd like to thank you for taking the time to do so, and secondly please inform me on how likely any of these changes are to actually happen. Thanks for your time, -Anti

I realize the title may be misleading, but the questions would be if any of those quality of life changes would happen

wrong, if you are good support, better get a team-mate to due with, or to play with. otherwise just risk it.

There is a lot of people there going Adc, Support (when they dont even play it) and going all in enemy just because u stunned him, (they WONT leave them till they die) Now he die and feed ur lane and you lose.

This is botlane now days. Get a pre-mate with u on bot, or risk it.

Edit: by that i mean supports are fine specially sona.

Which supports i think is very very very very bad now? (blitz) totally junked i dont even believe in his winrate which supposed to be 50%.

my English is not perfect.

Having played morg, blitz, and Sona 1 yes blitz feels kinda bad right now 2 Morgana destroys Sona unless her adc has higher dps and good mobility 3 Sona has mana issues that other supports don't really have to deal with in my opinion Nami or Leona are better picks

well, im not very expert in supports, only the ones i played with or against a lot.

maybe Morgana counter Sona with her Magic-Shield idk, but at least they have Dmg skills, can do Dmg, can do some Shields Some AOE Dmg if a Tank can Tank a lot like Alistar / Nautlis etc.

And maybe Sona can go for ManaFlowBand, and try only use ur skills when you are able to get the extra 25 mana till u get 250 full stack, then u get X% mana every second, + Bescuit + some 350 Mana item, that way u will have a lot mana, with mana regenation + u can still buy mana items.

For now, i see the worst support is blitzcrank here is why.

He is good if played Full AP but first issue he wont find a good Support item to fit this + he will be very squishiee in teamfights when he have to go all in and use some knock up etc.

His Q is PULLING almost all the minions everytime, yeah ofc i did well with him before but as i said his Q loves minions SO BADLY.

His W, move speed buff, attack speed <- idk for what, when the move speed buff decaying, is like he did nothing.

E, No DMG 0 DMG only knock up, which is almost none exist skill.

R, if not played AP wont do ANY dmg, if played AP will do Normal dmg.

he is supposed to be a Tank instead of Support champ, but i rather have no idea how he is a Tank. i think blitzcrank is in really bad spot now. he wasnt like that before in season 6,7.

Blitz did better before riot gave everyone true damage and they created item 3095 now if he misses a hook the enemy has like 11 seconds to freely harass him PlusThresh is just a better pick
