Can we get a high tech support?

Most of the support we have are based around magic (Yuumi, Nami, Janna) , physical strength or agility (Alistar, Rakan, Braum) , or specialized weapons (Pyke, Thresh).

Would like to see a support champion from Piltover or Zaun that explored Rutioneterra's scientific side of medicine. Healing vials, injections that give buffs or cleanse, devices that augment allies in various ways in an AoE, etc. Someone who builds their own devices or contraptions to heal or buff their team. I feel like this is a unique archetype that hasn't been given due consideration. The support class is already has the smallest champion pool in League of Legends, so long as you're not counting champions that were built to go mid/jg/top and just ended up as support because they suck in their original roles.

Thoughts?

Blitzcrank "am I a joke to you" sad sentient machine noises

But what you described wanting to be added does sound like a good piltover counterpart to blitz (keep in mind blitz was also designed to help people)

I am asking for this for ages already...

Piltover doesn't have a proper support anyway, so it would be great to get a champion to fill that position. And it would be really nice to get an insight on modern medicine in Runeterra, which doesn't include replacing all your ill bodyparts with steel.

Every champion who is able to heal allies in this game is based on magic. The classic medic archetype is completely unexplored and I would love to see this happening.

Braum was originally concepted as a hextech shield-wielder from Piltover, named CeeCee. Just a fun fact.

i mean runeterra's science is largely rooted in magic considering alchemy/chemtech and hextech are the most common forms. so really it'd still be magic.

just ended up as support because they suck in their original roles.

so basically anyone that isn't an enchanter or braum?
