Riot can you make a Support that isn't boring to play

LGN Koffee··2 votes·741 views

Hey Riot I was wondering if you could make a support hero that isn't boring as hell to play. The only support I actually enjoy playing is thresh. There should be so much more diversity in the support role. Cause as it stands playing support freakin' suck the bawls.

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

A Support about to Switch to Overwatch

Cheers!

How are Janna and Leona not boring. Especially Janna.

If you find Leona boring, you're just playing her wrong

I don't play her, I got bored. No matter how good you are at Leona, her kit is just painfully straightforward.

Need to be in the very center of the action could redeem her, but her ults fucks up even that quality.

Naut is pretty similar in that regard, but he at least has more things to track in a fight.

What about Leona's ult messes up her being in the center of everything? That's where she should be

1.2k range? She can use it without any commitment, which makes her that bit less exciting.

I main ADC, but support is my secondary.

Things I find fun as support:

  • Leona tower diving so my ADC gets the kill under turret
  • See above, but getting the ADC a double kill
  • Sona ult leading to Ace
  • Braum shield-blocking stuff like Cait ults
  • Soraka running in with +70% move speed to heal someone just as the opponent thought they had the kill
  • Leona ult from other side of wall or bush, leading to massive destruction of stunned opponents (bullet list doesn't work)

It's totally ok if you don't find these things fun, and just avoiding support if you don't like it. But some of us really like how it works, especially since the big change where they introduced the gold items.

In all seriousness I thank you for this comment. You actually made a case where everyone else just flamed. Appreciate that.

I also play ADC but never get it so decided to give support a try. I can say with 100% confidence that supports need an overhaul in order to have more player have an actual desire to play them. Until then queue times will continue to be long.

I mean, Fafnir's okay but Terra's kit is literally garbage. I can't fucking understand how that kit got through development. It's clunky as hell and feels awful

Why is the information that you plan to switch to Overwatch relevant to the matter at hand?

Because he wants to play the "Change the game or you'll lose me to overwatch" card bullshit. What he fails to understand is that Riot doesn't care if one person leaves for overwatch, and judging by his personality, I wouldn't care either

I find that Nami isn't boring at all. Great teamfight synergy but squishy AF.

What do you consider to be "not boring" in a champion? What would you like to see, in a support champion?

Yes, I'm curious to know what it is that the OP finds boring about support, because if you're doing it right, you're CONSTANTLY doing something.

Aptest1 votes

it's not about constantly doing "something" because you can also be constantly doing something which sucks.

I have so much more fun playing every other role but support. Am I the only one? If support was fun then queue times would be instant for all but I knew with this bum a*s community this was the type of responses I would get.

Why bother playing support at all.

You only proved to me that playing support sucks haha. That's 1 less support playing... darnskis :/
