Adjusting Supports to work alone. ( No toxicity, ideals. )

ADC Yuumi··1 votes·962 views

Many of the "Meant to be supports" (Pyke, Neeko as a secondary role, Lux, etc.) are more often than not seen in other places besides botlane with an adc.

This isn't bad, but it should be adjusted so that an extremely supportive can still lane just as well as a new support.

I'm mainly looking at Janna Janna, Alistar Alistar , and Braum Braum for self laning buffs, Pyke Pyke, Rakan Rakan and Sona Sona adjusts, and Zilean Zilean and Soraka self-laning nerfs.

Now, I'm afraid if you haven't already that you down voted this because you have a reasonable opinion. So if you're already offended, #I suggest you leave now.

I'm doing Janna first at the moment but I'll do the others later.


#Janna: I've played Janna at toplane for a long time, so I can tell you right now; she's actually quite a strong laner. However, her clear in a lane is quite fast and she can freeze lane progression for a long time.

So this a direct adjust to her Q and Passive for some aggression, but not lane dominance:

Passive: (Old) Janna's basic attacks and Zephyr deal bonus on-hit magic damage equal to 25 / 35% (based on level) of her bonus Movement speed. (New) Janna's basic attacks and Zephyr deal bonus on-hit magic damage equal to 40% of her bonus Movement speed.

Q: Mana cost: 60/80/100/120/140 -> 100 at all ranks.

Maximum magic damage (Fully charged Q damage): 105 / 145 / 185 / 225 / 265 (+ 65% AP) -> 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 / 210 (+ 80% AP) Minimum damage ratio unaffected. Deals half damage to minions.

Many supports, Janna specifically, have been specifically stated to be balanced around keeping them out of solo lanes. They're oppressive and extremely uninteractive (mages like velkoz and zillean being an exception due to being designed around mid and supp). Janna will never get solo lane balance because her kit is disengage, so if she has the damage to wave clear/trade effectively, she can just cancerously force on her opponent and deny any interaction.
