Bottom Lane Diversity

Zuske BloodLine··6 votes·4,547 views

Sona Taric This discussion is mostly for Champions who in a way lost their Identity in the bottom lane, Sona being the AURA Support who succeed At Early lane Pressure with her Aura's and Passive harass . Due to that she Climbed the Ladder at dominance at Bot Lane. Wich eventually got her nerfed. Which with me was okay , buuuut :T with the seasons changing more champs just got a WAY better dominance against her (Mostly Tanks Leona Braum Alistar ). Even Soraka got her kit tweaked properly which rends her useable now. Janna turned into the Queen of Anti-Harass, Thresh Has pretty good matchups. I would really like to see Sona be Tweaked, as a bot lane support since Season 3 i've seen a LOT of things come and go (RUNIC BULWARK). Is good to see new champs and new kits, it brings much more diversity to the game. But i would love to see the supports get help since we mainly focus on synergy and vision control early. If supports fall behind due to poor adc performance we can't do much (Unless you're Morgana Annie ). I've played the game for a long time now and ive always main support, Its my go to Lane. I would really appreciate Tweaking Sona and Taric due to their poor pick %. I mostly say that cuz if u want sustain you go Nami or Soraka. I love bottom lane diversity and all the supports. but Sona GOT me to where i am today. i just want more pick diversity than JUST Janna and Nami with a mix of Thresh Leona. I love League of Legends and most of all i love balance, so please Riot. GIVE SONA SUM LOVE

I feel like lulu is such a bad support. They need to let her be a top and mid mage.

To be honest, I've always thought Lulu was just a terrible champion in general.

may I ask what makes Lulu bad?

I thought her slows and speed ups and all that other stuff she does was great I may be wrong, I dont know much about numbers

It bothers me when I pick a Darius, Sion, or MF support and my team honestly feels like I'm trolling and we're gonna lose. The feeling is usually offset about 3 to 10 minutes in the game, where all on their own I recieve healthy recognition on the fact that "Hey, Sion apparently can support, gj" Darius gets the most flak, but with his psuedo hooks, slows, micro ignites, and presence (wards too) people can accept him in the vein he's a more offensve kind of Braum with bit less peel for their ADC and a bit more peel for the enemy face.

Or Teemo jungle, where patience and lots of very careful planning can result in countless buff steals, lane camping, and general global wide frustration, if his team is willing to give him the chance to. Strategic Diversity starts as much with us the community as it does Riot by allowing our team mates to try new things they like and may already be good at. I mean, have you went full AP Trist (no ad, all gold and runes and masteries are put into AP and on hit) E + Q a turret with a lich bane? It's hilluryus

I love MF support! I always queue up in team builder with it and people think I'm joking, but I usually dominate!

With what ADCs do you synergize better with? I have enjoyed running ADC Lulu, Nautilus, and Urgot recently.

Solidair32 votes

With MF support?

Typically any that can benefit from her ability to slow in an AoE very frequently.

I've had success with all kinds, but I have to say Ashe is one of my favorites because her ult makes it easier to land my ult. I also enjoy laning with Jinx for her traps and Twitch so I can help him set up a stealth attack with Make it Rain

darius actually does support very well. a lot of people do not know that his secondary role is a support or it used to be. his hook allows the adc an opportunity to to get some attacks in and his bleed well allows the enemy to leak while running. if need be he can be healthy and tanky providing cover for the adc.

I think Sona needs another rework once they get through the more important champions like Evelynn, Taric, Poppy, and Ryze.

Zuske BloodLine1 votes

YOOOO DJ DIO!!!!! nah but yeah. there's so many champs that need kit changes :/

Nova Skye1 votes

I'm making her useful. In solo, I take her mid and build Lichbanes first. Face melting burst at level 3 if the enemy jungle doesn't put you down (bronze 4, they don't). When queuing with friends, I take her (or Nami) as jungle support and let the bot lane level up faster. Speed/sheild/burst into the gank, then speed/sheild out.

I'm a meta breaker. Call me rebel.

Jamnon1 votes

Wait you run nami jungle? Please teach me your jedi ways.

Nova Skye1 votes

No, not "Jungle". "Jungle Support". My friend and I both go jungle (I guess it would be a duo jungle, except he takes a real jungle champ and I take a support and run with him everywhere) - two man gank bot at level 3 is devastating at our ranks ;).

U gonna cause... a "RIOT"?

I love Lulu support and it's actually the only reason I still play League of Legends. I have noticed as of late it's been harder to perform well than in the past, though. =/

Also, screw Thresh. I hate that guy. He's super mean :(

Zuske BloodLine1 votes

Lulu supp works is just that with most gap closing champs like Leona and Thresh her slows are PRETTY much useless. And it gives her a tough time :/

Solidair31 votes

I've barely seen namI recently. To be honest with you, bot lane has felt more diverse than ever. The only marksman I rarely see is Twitch, and supports are constantly rotating.

I dunno, my bot lane experience has been awesome lately. (And I kick ass as Sona)

Is there any hope for Lulu changes/tweaks? :((

I think a while ago they said they were going to keep an eye on her. That was last season and nothings been changed so I assume no.

I might be completely wrong though.

I read a while ago a post from a Lulu player suggesting give her E active on enemy cast a similar effect like Noc's R and Graves's smokescreen and removing the damage on it.It would keep solo-lane Lulu from doing to much damage,while adding more utility to her kit.

Sona actually has an above average pick rate (higher than Nami) at 8.53% and a (slightly) above average win rate at 51.71%. I would be concerned that buffing a champion that currently has a high winrate and a fair playrate is dangerous. Of course, I understand that winrate isn't the be all and end all of a champion discussion, but the general rule is that you shouldn't buff high win-rate champions if they aren't played only by dedicated "only X".
