The League Meta is Anti Squishy Supp

The preseason has brought about a lot of changes and the obvious one being masteries and ad items. Both these changes helped damage champions a ton by adding strong damage masteries and items. It annoys me so much when I'm playing Janna for example and I can't even live enough to help any of my teammates. Sure in compensation support got a buff in the mastery pages, but because of the greater AD damages and no armor/tank buffs, its super difficult for that to matter. You could say I just need to build more tanky and get tank runes and masteries, but I think that's ridiculous when support is meant to help the team rather than build tank and use tank masteries. The role of squishy supports can't just change or disappear because of the AD meta. I'm hoping for a supp buff and thanks for the consideration.

P.S. I'm really hating the fast paced game style the preseason introduces lacking any time to think through thoughts.

I feel that heal supports are stronger now because of the mastery changes and changes to grievous wounds

lol. I get melted by a 0-3 ADC as tanks if I get stunned for just 2 seconds. The only reason I even get fed on tanks is because I can stun them first and then kill them. I'm finding as Lulu or Janna, I get evaporated in teamfights with 1 crit. It's now worth it to focus the support because they're a free 300 gold package if you aren't tanky.

building tanky as a supp would give you like 2 extra seconds at best. damage is just too prevalant
