Supporting has regressed to a child-like state with each passing season...
These "new" champions are some of the most overloaded crap EVER to walk into botlane. Before them, there were some problem supports like
who were essentially gimmicks and relied on one combo to win the lane but they had VERY distinctive weaknesses such as dodging Blitz's Q essentially made him useless.
Now we have supports in the game that are horrifically power crept...
A
copycat who has free dashes every few seconds -
A champion that many will admit is an overloaded
2.0 -
and now
A support that isn't even a support but an assassin with a "Look guys! I'm helping" gold share while having overloaded dashes, stealth and a very powerful execute -
.
These champions are the sole reason that I don't play much League anymore. They simply have ruined my favourite role. Supports should NOT be about your own individual players but about helping you team. The clue is in the name... "Support"
and although people moan about
(who can be fixed with a few simple number changes), the botlane will NEVER be the same again because of these horrible champion designs. These champions have power crept the meta to the point where taking some support champs is completely unviable.
When was the last time you saw a
support or any of the mild, less power crept and less mobility crept supports?
I do feel that this game is past the point of saving. If you do not pick a mobile support, you will get absolutely shit on by supports that do have infinite forms of mobility.
These three champions symbols when the game became less about strategy and patience, and more about out and out killing and speed.
League has regressed into a child-like state.
