i'm slow to the party, but why are they doing a tank update instead of support???

TL;DR at bottom

Support is so braindead and horribly boring to play that this game forces you to play it once every few games because if you didn't, then nobody would. So instead of fixing this feebleminded role, you buff the one thing that everybody already hates, TANKS? (no offence to the 'support mains'...i know full ap lux takes fat amounts of skill((sorry to the 4 support mains out there))). When i'm autofilled I pick Soraka or Annie, and put wards down while gaining fat stacks from my ancient coin. Should anybody decide to take a break from farming for 15 consecutive minutes and act a little frisky, I shall pause Netflix and use a skill or two to scare off the opponent.

So with all this in mind, I think buffing and reworking the champions that people already play and that are already breaking the meta with their overpowered items and abilities is a great idea and can vastly expand the creation of this wonderful game. Buffing the tanks so that they cannot be damaged whilst exponentially doing more burst then the ad assassin is a wonderful addition to your once balanced game. (half of this isn't true but Tilterella has 3 challenger accounts where he mains full AD sion, tanks are busted man)

TL;DR subborting is poring and stop autofilling me while i'm in silver so i can't climb the ladder, i'll learn to play support when i can afford to buy a good support with runes, thanks and yes i am a little bit butthurt :^(

I find that players who think Supporting is a "brain dead, easy, and boring" role tend to be really bad at Support because they aren't doing much, while the opposing Support beats them to a pulp.

There are a lot of options for Support champions if you want to focus more on dealing damage than providing utility. I recommend exploring these, such as MF, Brand, or Vel'koz. You still want to spend some gold on Support items like the gold item and a Sightstone though.

If you think support is braindead and boring, you honestly just don't know how to play the role properly.

Just play normals if you don't have enough ip for runes/champions or if you are new to/bad at the game in general, spaming ranked only decreases your mmr and fuck you over once you get better(hopefully).
