My problem with UTILITY supports

Nhifu·Jan 30, 2019·1 votes·936 views

Regen items suck, a mage poking down my braum/rakan/taric literally means we can't fight back or CS or even try leaving tower.. The shielding keystone is very underpowered compared to aftershock = Pyke/leona/Alistar/Maokai > every other sup (Taric/Rakan/Thresh/Nautilaus) You heal 2% health, but take hits from a combination of keystones (arcane comet/aery + whatever the enemy ADC takes) Why not increase the base health regen when you upgrade RELIC? or increase the healing based on missing health? Or have the shielding keystone give healing when someone breaks the shield? Relic shield still has no compensation for supports hitting ranged minions compared to melee/cannon...

I get what you are saying, but usually melee supports don’t have relic shield as their main source of sustain. They have potions, their own passives/abilities (if they have natural sustain in their kit besides health regen) and runes. I usually go inspiration secondary and get biscuit delivery. Solves most of my sustain problems lol

You can also go Second wind to help with all of the poke that you would receive.

A mage poking down you and your lane partner usually means they are pushed up, they are immobile and can get ganked very easily. Set up wards in the correct spots (control in Tri/river and a deep ward in the lane brush that is closest to the enemy tower) to give your teammates an easier gank and open up a tp gank from your top/mid.
