bot Lane balance

Yukíí·Dec 5, 2017·1 votes·424 views

Riot ive been playing for a decent amount of time and as a support main I've noticed that support is a very disliked role. Now maybe it's cause it's not flashy or you don't get many kills idk I enjoy it but recently I've been having to watch people choose champions like Lux teemo and brand and just destroy lane not because they are better champions but just because they output so much damage unless your using Sona or soraka it's almost impossible to stay healthy would it be possible to give support champions and I mean real ones like rakan nami Sona soraka a better way to fight these matchups cause at this point it's hard to win lane with a high damage dealer and high ability power dealer both going for you

If you build dmg items with sona she can oneshot easily...

That's true but where's the balance Sona does large amounts of damage but her real purpose is for sustain she's can heal almost as well as soraka but you need the right items

She is getting nerfed (again) even though she is at 51% win rate and dropping. Real supports are just being phased out of the meta entirely. Long live the tank overlords I guess.

The runes aren't the issue at hand but also with klepto you have a higher starting Ap then with anything else

Real supports are hitting a low point, Seeing as the "Enchanter" support meta is dying off due to no longer having Winspeakers

That also being said, Lots of Dive supports are probably becoming more meta (Check: Leona)

And Botlane Damage Dealers are always a problem, Not because no one wants to pick a support, But because No on likes to rely on other people, And in a game where its about Teamwork, Where the highest amount of Communication is a warrant for a ban if you're a fucking ass, There's no reason to play true supports because you can always just opt in for more damage, And make the game a living hell for the team that decides to actually use a support.

This is true it seems in order to win you have to have a tanky support but I feel like that's false cause I've managed to maintain a decent record with Sona thorught poke and a build that allows me max healing and bility power but it doesn't make it easy when facing lux or brand or teemo who just do insane amounts of damage to you early on
