He's basically a mage and I don't care what anyone says. Zilean too. Any support that can solo and adc with out being fed isn't a support. I don't mean out playing either I mean if you can walk up to someone press a few buttons while getting attacked and manage to kill them or win a trade you ain't no support.
Akenero4 votesSo by your logic, tanks can't be supports?
Lord Ligma1 votesI'm referring mostly to champions who have high base damage such as Karma or Zyra and those people who play support Annie. The champions whom if you were to being losing and you buy a few ap items you can easily 1v1 the adc without much effort.
Ralanr2 votesHe's actually not a support. He's a tank/fighter. Seriously, he doesn't have the support label.

I play way more games as support then I need to so I have the experience in this to tell you:
I can solo kill you as a support on ANY champion... I've gotten 2v1 doubles as Thresh 1v3 triples as Sona I've taken the support Sona build (even started with support item not dorans ring) and went mid lane to 1v1 a Zed and a Yasuo.
I've repeatedly 1v1'd mages like Ahri (she's my favorite every Ahri thinks they can take me then they get nuked) I've crushed 7/0 caitlyns and I've 1v4 double killed under turret all as Sona.
I've Quadra killed as Support Xerath I've Quadra'd on support Zyra I've 1v2 double killed and stole dragon as Bard and I've 1v1'd a Jhin as Nami.
Any support who actually mains the role and knows what they're doing most likely knows their champion better then you know yours and your 40k champion mastery Vayne is nothing on my 100k champion mastery Sona and if you think Leona can't kill you wait till I do it.
If you're getting killed by a support it's not because they're OP, it's not because they are a mage or something its because they're better then you. And the best part - they have less gold then you even if they're 0/0/27 and you're 7/0/5 so you're basically getting beaten by someone who has less items then you lol.

I will give you some credit tho Blitzcrank is the easiest support to 1v1 someone with just because of the CC. The CC is really overpowering at times and his high AP ratios mean you MUST dodge that hook or your 12/0 caitlyn ass is his unless you can flash+net
Lord Ligma1 votesBring on them down votes baby. I love them.
KotetsuTatsumaki1 votesYou kinda sorta have a point with Zil, but blitz does need to build ap to solo anyone. As it stands Riot has just kinda allowed it to stay as a fun off meta build.
Lord Ligma1 votesI understand what you mean but Blitzcrank does have really high base damage so that can really break you at the start of the game if he catches you off guard.

ViashinoWizard1 votesSupport and Mage are not mutually exclusive.
Gimpy891 votesa good support is not gold dependant (since they have lower income and need SS) check.
provides high utility. blitz has engage and peel for the team while being tanky too check.
seems like a support.
Akenero1 votesAlmost all of his strength is in his q, Dodge that, and win lane
Colgate Minuette1 votesAlmost all of his strength is in his q, Dodge that, and win lane
To be fair he doesn't have to use his Q. If he plays it right whal you're trying to hide behind minions to avoid his Q he can actually force-zone you and either you take the hook (or risk dodging it in a really tight corner) or you keep hiding behind minions at which point he can use his W run up to you E then Q at point blank range.
Blitzcrank is extremely overpowering in lane (that does not mean OP) Any time I get a Blitzcrank in lane I count it as a win if I haven't died 2 times by 10 minutes there really is no winning against a Blitzcrank who has any actual time spent on the champion.
