Some thoughts on Support
In the end of season 6 you (RIOT) gave us more supports in the free rotation and ask a question to your gamers how RIOT can improve the gameplay of the support role (see link to article). Now we are in February and I don't feel like much has changed for the support role, other then that I have to really watch my and my ADC's back for all the overpowered assassins.
Most of the time I play support, but I still feel underrated. As an example. Last week I played an ARAM game as Soraka. We won because of me, because I was healing like crazy. In the end I had 3 kills and 41 assists and I was only 3 times dead (in an ARAM game where you have to die to buy items). So I thought this must earn me a S, S- or S+ or a chest or at least a key, but no. Two team mates that made all the kills, got an S+ and an S-. So if you want the role of supports to be more attractive as you mentioned in the article, let the amount of assits count more then the kills when you play support.
After the game it got me thinking. What is the current status on promoting the support role?
