Current people are toxic to board discussions ^

^ enchanter player trying to draw away from the fact that second to marksmen they have the most unbalanced class in the game, by design, not just itemization.

A generalist statement that contains no reasons, explanations, or details offers no value as a result. Please edit your OP to provide a detailed analysis of why you feel this is the case and perhaps a discussion can be had. Thank you.

That post doesn't really say much except 'they nerfed my assassins, please nerf enchanters too'.

I think there are certainly a few enchanters who are designed awkwardly... but Riot has been getting a lot better at designing them to be healthy. Like Soraka has a heavy trade-off for her healing and is very squishy if she wants to be effective... Nami's heal is very expensive and only has one reliable target... new Janna's shield is very high cooldown early game.

I honestly think Lulu is the worst designed support in the game... with Thresh and Alistar slightly behind.

The problem is actually more tied to a few key items. Censer, which has been nerfed and will likely be nerfed more. Locket, which as much as I love it, is just too strong right now.

Additionally, the problem lies with the insane late game dps of marksman, which make enchanters who can offer them easier early-games and protect them late-game. Lower the dps of marksmen across the board, adjust locket, and enchanters are no longer a 'design flaw'.

I play pretty much everything, I think enchanters shut down all classes equally and honestly stifle support role diversity.

They're non interactive and basically unfair to play against in a player vs player game, where they make the winning move not to play.

As much as enchanters are overtuned right now and make it so you can't play tank supports, there is one upside to them: the local midlaners can't be played as "supports" and instagib you at level 2 anymore with no counterplay.
