Terrible meta to be a main Support

Hunkcules·Mar 7, 2016·1 votes·462 views

I'm a really strong support, and I had really high win rates on all my supports. But over the last few patches, my win rate has been sitting at about 45%. about 20% less than what it has been for the past year. I'm not tilted, I play and get better at the game as I do. However, I can't impact the game like I should be able to anymore. I find games instantly because I main support, but more and more I feel it's getting to the point that I need to quit support and play carries. Huge problem with that, I get extremely frusterated with people that play support if it's not me because of the decision making.

I dunno, I'm currently sitting at a 57% overall ranked win rate as a support primary, with 62% win rate on my main support (Janna). I think it's more a matter of picking the right supports for the current meta, rather than supports in general being less influential.

Support has always been hard to carry with; it's a bit skewed even more difficult than usual right now because of all the AD items. Marksmen got reworked with new items and older items got reworked (to generally be stronger overall), AD assassins got a buff with their new item... AD roles are just strong right now, so when you're a tank or ap support, you start to feel a little less relevant. Yeah, you have cc, which is what you should probably focus on, but I feel like we still haven't come back from the changes to ADC's, and they may still be a little overtuned. It's why a lot of my games end earlier; more of my games end around 20-30 minutes no, and I do notice that part of the problem could be the AD meta.

Also, making BF sword cheaper makes AD champions power spike a little earlier than usual. Might be part of the problem.
