Supports Are Basically The Adc In All Of My Games, Dealing Stupid Amounts Of Damage

Regardless of the fact that support items have been nerfed in the recent patches, supports are still literally carrying games, swain support, brand support, lux support, morgana support, senna support, you name it, I even went up against a teemo support in my last match who dealt the most damage on the enemy team, and in the same game, the brand support on my team, which is my duo, dealt the most damage on my team. Supports are dealing more damage than entire teams. How does this make sense...?

Well, every champ you listed is a pure mage, since they don’t have to farm they just poke you, and that’s already a reason for they’re dmg. Then the only support thing they have is the starting item, then they can just go full ap and deal dmg as any other midlaner mage

Swain and Brand and Teemo aren't support, have never been supports, and will never be supports, they are mages who can't cut it in their own lanes either from being outranged, damaged, poked, tanked, etc so they can fit into bot and use their above average burst damage to abuse a lane that has typically low damage early on.

Lux, Morgana and Senna aren't fully support either, they have supporting tools in their kits, but honestly function better as carries when you take their full kit into consideration.

They do so much damage because they tend not to need to build defenses because they are in a lane that they don't really need to worry about being traded back against, or the opponent building MR against them.

As for why their damages aren't going down, is because they once again aren't supports or at least fully. If you took away their damage, they would see no play outside of those roles especially when Teemo, Swain and Brand weren't even designed for that position.

Teemo support? Ew no, your bot lane did something bad in that case.

Swain and Brand support are incredibly obnoxious though.

They are somewhat kept in check in the engage support meta, but if you aren't playing Nautilus, Leona, or Blitzcrank, then you're going to have a miserable time bot lane even when you win against them.

ADCs arent just there to deal damage, they are mainly there for objectives so your argument is flawed at a baseline.

Its almost as if if you pick a support whos only job is to bring utility and damage.... They deal damage....

As a dude with like 50k in teemo support mastery lemme tell you that shrooms can outdamage most teams in most games, win or lose.

Teeto dealing the most dmg ... that piece of shiz deals the most dmg even when he's the most useless fk on the team by far no contest just cuz ppl walk into his stupid shrooms, couldn't you find a better argument? Like seriously.

All the prior ADC mains were tired of having dog shit supports but the new ADC mains can't play ADC to save their lives and should be playing support so we let them miss their cs and back at the wrong times take the kills with the semi-competent jungle and switch over to carry mode when they inevitably forget to pick up side lanes past the 20m mark.

You can complain about that when they first fix how top lane can go 0-10 and 30 minutes later be some 1v9 unstoppable god versus my Lux that doesn't scale at all just because they figured out where spirit visage and mercury treads is located in the shop.

If the guy who didn't lasthit the entire first 20 minutes of the game is beating your ass you should take a look at yourself. Every 15 cs is a kill.

Those mage supports even if they snowball (which we do) inevitably have 1 less item than you at max, snowball even less than they would have because they dont have the cs + the kills, just the kills, which arguably usually breaks about even with you, and then proceeds to outplay you guys in teamfights. Yeah, theyre better than you. AND theyre warding for you ,roaming, and probably supplying 90% of the vision. Like, learn to play.

I wish Riot would stop messing around with this one foot in one foot out nonsense and make the Mage supports support-prio instead of mid-prio b/c theyre mostly played as supports yet their ratios/scaling is based off of mid (lux nerfs lul). That's the r%%%%%ed thing about mage supports.

And the REASON that is, it's mostly because those mages are almost as good without the farm and don't snowball and 1v9clap nearly as well as the lulimskilled assassins do (broken, overpowered meme solo q stompers that they are).

Stop trying to imply that a 10-0 support lux and a 10-0 zed mid are even remotely similar. The 10-0 support lux is support in the first place so she doesn't prevent a 10-0 assassin from playing their role in mid that doesnt work as support?

I'm sure we'd play more enchanters if you wouldnt forget we exist and never peel for us, ignore our vision, run out of our item proximity, never follow up on our plays, etc.
