[DISCUSSION] Removal of the “Support” label

I have been thinking about this for a while. Whe have the concept of primary and secondary role ever since the release of the game. Back in the day the concept worked great. Supports where basicly defined differently and the meta was still a work in progress. I think whe reached a point these labels start to get seriously outdated. The meta has evolved and the game transformed into a character based environment. The concept of classes now only a secondary element of the game.

The support class just have evolved beyond the limitations set by the label. Blitz is an support, Nunu is an controle jungler, Lux is an controle mage, Ashe is an marksmen, Fiddlestick is an jungler, Alistar is an support, Kayle is an mid/top/jungler, etc… The only thing that the label does is interrupt clarity and would only make it confusing for future players. Breaking the meta can work, hell I would even promote it. But this information is just misleading. If a new players goes Ashe support because he reads it’s secondary role it can result in a negative experience than when that new player take Blitz support and has a healthy for experience with the game when he see’s blitz grabbing some boothy. With DynamicQ new players will get involved in the meta faster.

#So Let’s remove the label “Support” from the primary and secondary role entirely.
