Better rewards for playing support in Ranked!

You have a single problem with dynamic queue and honestly I love the new system but this is the only thing that should be changed.

Supports are not being played enough and so fill is another button for support.

Why is this a problem?

  • Longer Queue Times
  • More trolls not getting their role
  • Less Support mains which leads to dragging down adc and losing games for players.
  • More unpunished Dodges as a result leading to non-skill players raising in the ranks.

How do we fix this you ask? [zombie-brand-mindblown] Simple!

Give them a random chest per ranked game played as primary role selected as support.

The chest should contain either 25 blue or 25 orange essence AND +1 lp per win and one less point lost per loss before platinum.

This will get people to play support more often as its less risk, more reward AND they can faster earn more supports from support shards! [slayer-pantheon-popcorn] Now before everyone complains that this wouldn't be fair and I am being bias. I as an ADC main wouldn't be affected by this change and being far above gold, I wouldn't be affected even further. This is literally just a change for the betterment of the community.

Keep up the good tweaks! [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Shame on Riot employees who secretly downvote and make no comments on this post! We smell the greed! [zombie-nunu-bummed]

As a support/jungle main, I'd really think this would encourage the support role. Too many Yasuo/Zed mid or feed's IMO.

its a good idea! Nobody plays support like for real! We need to reward players who play support

I'm pretty sure its the ADCs causing the problems a lot of the time. The less skilled / behaved the ADCs are in the player pool the more people are inclined to never play support. There can be very little skill difference between Bronze-Platinum other than CS. Diamond usually has the support players and have ADCs that know how to play their champion to a much higher level.

Support is a harder role than in previous seasons, but they are going to become abused by ADCs just the same. Judging by your inability to realize and mention this, I doubt you have the capacity to know what the player pool is going through.

Season 6 ultimately creates a significantly different metagame each rank. The support champions you see often in higher play aren't going to cut it and other roles are going to have a larger effect on supports.

Dodges have nothing to do with skill, only the possibility of losing slightly more being avoided. Not sure what you mean there.
