Riot needs to work more with Supports having their "golden period"

darkdill··2 votes·378 views

Take a look at the current Sona. She's weak early on, but if she reaches late-game she can provide even more healing than a Soraka, while also spamming plenty of damage, speed, debuffs, etc. I like that design direction in that she's the "hypercarry-Support", and that picking her competitively should have that in mind.

That said, I can only think of Taric having a similar "golden period", in that he's very strong in late-game, but pays a bit for that early-on. Meanwhile, supports like Soraka tend to be really good early, but fall off later.

Can we have more of this dynamic?

Bard with enough chimes does almost carry levels of poke damage in late game, so there's also that, one of the reasons why I like playing him.

Soraka is probably better mid-late game actually.
