This isn't a whine post, but I feel like the fact that we're bringing these champions to the bot lane proves how little value utility supports are given. Support champions need something...
I just want a support, not someone who wanted mid but couldn't get it so they decide to use my lane to give themselves the experience they need.
technically speaking you can support with ANY CHAMPION in the game.
Support as a role is defined as helping your carry to win lane / game which can be accomplished by almost anyone provided you play properly
Its only a problem if normal supports can't compete. Right now they can't. Give zyra malz some love taps and Leo Ali etc some love taps up and were probably fine
I'm still surprised support MF has a decent enough playerbase.
MF Support isn't even good. She is only picked as a counter or combo into specific combos. She totally falls off otherwise and becomes so much less useful than any other support. The only reason she is effective at all is because games typically end before she becomes useless in the matchups that she is picked in.
Malzahar is obnoxious but I don't think him being in the support role itself is a problem.
I think MF is fine since she is strictly a Zyra counter in most times she is picked, Malz though signifies a big problem when mages have so much CC that they are pretty much a support with more CC and damage but trade that for sustain the problem is sustain isn't doing anything when you are being 100-0 through it.
In all honesty though i like this meta better than Caitlyn and Nami being unkillable through their sustain and just poking you down in lane as well or Caitlyn and Zyra poking you down.
At least support players have more influence over the game now than just being a heal bot and praying your ADC is good
their damage is too damn high.
It just means that if successful, their lane opponents weren't being defensive enough. It could be the fault of either the marksman or the support, or both of them.
