A very small thing, yet such a big thing for us that role support!

There isn't much that comes with this request, but during my struggles of being a support, the scenario where getting hit with low hp so I don't have time to hit back, only to end results with the person attacking you ending up dead, your team gets a kill, maybe some assists for others.. Except for the support that got hit with low hp.

I'm not sure if it has been discussed, but I feel being hit during fights can be just as important as giving damage itself since you're taking the time of an enemy who could be attacking someone more important. So I ask, will there ever be a day where League of Legends applies assists for getting hit?

Actually, yeah, playing the bait more often than not is what lets your team make the impact of killing the opponent, so I'm all for this.

I don't know how many times I haven't gotten any assists because I died after tanking 3 or 4 ults, plus a whole bunch of other skills. The skills they use on me aren't used on my carries, so I think I deserve an assist. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the annoying thing about playing Braum is that you can tank stuff with his shield, but because it only applies to you, it doesn't inherently get you an assist.

The concern of course is that it helps intentional feeders have more impact in a game. They get more gold, they're worth more, so killing them gives the enemy team more gold.
