I have yet to see anything that would "destroy" the current concept of supporting.

ward bitch?

some of us enjoy establishing vision control because it wins games

A Liberal4 votes

Yes wards are important but that's not a supports job, that is EVERYONE job. By restricting how we obtain wards, riot is forcing EVERYONE to ward, not just the support and that one gracious teammate who understands you. The vision changes are going to create a shift in the meta where we might see supports being able to have a little more flexibility in what they can do.

There's a difference between not wanting to do it for the sack of not doing it, and not wanting to do it because you're terrible at it.

I'm the latter. I seem to only be able to play Braum there with any competence...

I think you're thinking of preseason 3.

I'm considering quitting over the stealth ward change.

I'm so glad I haven't replenished my RP yet with a 50$ card I was planning to buy.

You can buy it for me :)

*Sorry I had to

Why? Everyone now gets free trinket upgrades, and the trinket has two charges from the start. It should actually be easier to keep ward coverage up...

I mean, we get a baby Baron Nashor. How could anything bad come from that?

I think people don't understand that these are preseason changes. Meaning they are tentative. It's basically pbe stuff, but on live (Unless I'm a blubbering idiot and am completely wrong).

BlunterMonk1 votes

From what I can tell the preseason stuff is much more likely to stay. Since in this case it vastly changes the way people start games and how they build.

Yeah it's not tentative so much as it is drastic. They don't like dropping drastic changes like this mid season because it throws the entire meta into chaos. Once the dust from the changes settles and we determine a meta for all the changes then they will make some minor balance tweaks. Balance tweaks is about the most you can expect though, this isn't PBE where if something is broken it will get pulled out until it isn't. If some of these changes are broken then they will be here to stay and Riot will balance accordingly.

With the pre-season changes, it looks like masteries want to take passives and such from other champs and give them to everyone. Kind of takes the uniqueness away from playing Jinx and Darius for example. It will definitely be a rollercoaster with so many changes.

Mimy1 votes

Really So I could have % health damage masteries? CAN WE MAKE THEM RUNES TOO?! xD

jk jk that'd be too OP.. xD
