When I started it was Orianna, Shaco, Kassadin and GP that were banned, early July 2011 Shaco forever banned Two years ago when I was playing competitively the bans were like Shen Sona TF and some random fotm bork. Then they nerfed Sona because she was dumb on release and we'd rotate bans on Soraka Janna and some random fotm bork like Kayle. IIRC anyways my memory sucks. Who the hell bans Yi. Since Neo can't help: [7:19:46] nightseternal: IF IT HAS A BLINK [7:19:48] nightseternal: AND CAN FARM [7:19:50] nightseternal: I CAN MAKE IT TANKY [7:19:52] nightseternal: but if it has no blink [7:19:55] nightseternal: and can farm [7:19:57] nightseternal: I NO CAN BLINKY [7:20:01] nightseternal: O_O [7:20:15] nightseternal: -wise words from uta Any hero that fits the bill? I'm so desperate I'm going to try out Seju at some point. | ||

But if I got to play Soraka with her stats/abilities from a year ago, ahaha, probably would feel very, very OP. Overall, I think Supports are ok atm, despite Riot's constant nerf pokes at them. | ||

The stats are really good, but they take up a lot of inventory space, so I always had the feeling it was an interesting deal. I'll probably keep on stacking those doran rings, but does anyone have an opinion about this nerf? They nerfed the ring and the sword to make the shield more of an interesting option. | ||

I don't think people are necessarily surprised, but there's a reason why support is by far the least popular role in ranked. Excluding Janna they aren't really fun nor influencial outside of the laning phase, so people would rather they were buffed/remade/etc... so that everyone is at least at janna's level rather than nerfing janna down to their level. Like someone already mentioned, why shouldn't support be close to as influencial with their utility as other heroes are with their damage? | ||

Almost every support is vicious in teamfights... that's where the power level issue comes in... their base power is too high... | ||

Sadly people realized how strong Sona was after a while, so I couldn't singlehandedly carry games with her anymore. Because she was banned. It was fun while it lasted. This was also around the time of the Locket on everyone craze by the way. However, this was not 2 years ago. Sona was released sometime fall 2010 or so. If I'm not mistaken, that's less than 2 years ago. | ||

assuming a moderate 26 on my smurf that's 309 hours spend on LoL. Doesn't include streams or thinking about the game. Man. Really regretting it now that exams are here. | ||

No, they're unpopular because they don't get to cs and don't do a lot of damage. They are hugely influential. If supports needed buffs you wouldn't see supports being played. | ||

I actually asked this question ~6 months ago becaues it seemed to me that each point of mpen increases your damage more than each point of ap. I think the simplest answer was basically a) no one bothered to actually do the math to figure it out and b) the thing about mpen is that you basically depend on getting as close as you can to 0. If you go over, you waste slots. If you go way under, well, you just look stupid once you get void. Whereas ap is always good. | ||
