Something Needs To Be Done About Mage "Supports"

PrismalDawn··3 votes·937 views

Why?

  1. They are more concerned about dealing damage than actually supporting you as player
  2. They push lane needlessly as a result.
  3. They dont prioritize building support items
  4. They are essentially a leech to role that already has trouble participating without 6 items, unless you are Lucian or Vayne or Kai Sa.
  5. If they fail to win lane, they are a crutch to their team.

What should be done? Reduce the damage done by subsequent abilities for the next 30 seconds or so. Most, if not all, actual mage SUPPORTS only have one damage ability to begin with. We need to kick out mage carries out of bot lane.

sometimes you genuinely can play without a traditional support against comps. Mages are the closest relative to supports so it’s natural for them to want to play multiple roles. Supports such as zyra, lux, brand get themselves ahead with kills because as a mage the support item doesn’t cut it. They need to snowball and if put behind they are massively devastated since they can’t farm back into the game. Just try to not get bullied and bully them back: they’re immobile, squishy mages.

Instead of playing against Talon Zed Yasuo item 3155 item 3111 and suffering people prefer to play them as support.
