Supports

What Is Smite·11/28/2014, 11:07:36 PM·1 votes·814 views

Let me start off by saying I believe that this post does belong in the champion skins/concepts boards (Despite what Rioters believe) since it does retain to potential future supports that Riot might make.

Onto the main topic, Does Riot Games plan to put out supports (whether in the near future or distant future) that have their own escape abilities? Braum is a champion with an ability similar to an escape, but his Stand Behind Me can only be used as an escape if there is an ally minion wave approaching or a teammate nearby. I understand that when Riot makes a support they are more focused on how said support can peel and protect for the ADC, and that is usually where most of their kit power goes along with some sort of engage/disengage ability. The reason why I ask if Riot plans to release a support with an escape is because in a 2v2 skirmish, both ADC's have some sort of blink/dash ability, but what about the supports who get left for dead when a 2v2 turns into a 3v2 when both you and your ADC fully commit to an all-in? Sure the ADC can escape because they have a blink/dash, but what about when you die and give the enemy ADC an early BF Sword or Sheen? If you burned flash earlier in the lane because they tried to all-in when they had the advantage then you have no escape to get away from the 3v1 your ADC left you in. So I want to know do you guys down in the Champion Development department (not sure if that's what you call it) have any information that you could release to the player base about such champions or do you plan to release one, either in the near or distant future, also if you could post your thoughts about adding a blink/dash mechanic to supports that would be great.

Side Note: If a Rioter believes that this post does belong in a different Board I ask that you move it instead of just flat out deleting it. On a different topic, I know this is really early but, Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
