I'm not upset by numbers, I'm merely sadly shaking my head since I know that people (including myself, hence the blurb) often fail to see the forest of being nice to people for the tree of self-righteous achievement manifested in a number. | ||

They have easier access to the other lanes than the other members of the team, and usually pack a good amount of cc to help the team out. heh heh. well there's no real use getting in an argument over which role is really the most important in a team game everyone has their own preference and playstyle.  | ||

What's with those champions icons? How did you get them, because some of them look pretty cool. | ||

Well, by virtue of whose abilities have the biggest impact on any given engagement, the answer is generally the tanky initiator (in the current meta, generally jungles like Naut, Amumu, or Malphite) or the support. Especially when it comes to support, using your abilities correctly and on the right person is generally the difference between victory and defeat. You keep the carries alive with healing, shields, buffs, and peeling enemies off them, and you make enemies easier to kill with CC and debuffs. It's also generally the reason Riot doesn't like Supports doing too much damage or being solo laners, because stupid utility + damage is a strong combination. That said, having the largest impact != instant win. You rely on your allies to do damage still, obviously. | ||

Ha, I didn't even mean to disagree with you, I was seriously just confused about your original point. | ||

I still don't get this design philosophy, especially if they don't want to "endorse" the meta. (Which also seems silly too, as during Worlds they were clearly identifying each player as their position when those positions are just conceived through the meta as well.) I think it's cool to have characters who can do multiple roles, and the current heroes who can both mid and support are still obviously biased towards one role. | ||

I think it's cool to have characters who can do multiple roles, and the current heroes who can both mid and support are still obviously biased towards one role. unfortunately part of the problem is that its hard to balance a champion for more than one role, if you buff the supporty spells on a champion too much then generally the ap side of them becomes too strong too quickly even with other roles, if you buff their jungling ability then usually it impacts their top laning or supporting a lot | ||

I think it's cool to have characters who can do multiple roles, and the current heroes who can both mid and support are still obviously biased towards one role. Still, if you gave supports their current level of utility (CC, healing, buffs/debuffs) alongside a comparable level of damage, there's be no reason not to play them in most roles other than preference. Either they need to always have lower damage to compensate, or higher damage champs need higher CC to compensate the same way. I like supports where they are, honestly. Leona is one of my favorites to play with/against, like Naut with no damage and high CC, very fun and different. | ||

Leona's and Naut's spells are essentially just as good as the others when you take two seconds to consider it. Her gapcloser is his pull and gapcloser Her shield is his shield and dot to mobs Her stun is his passive root The ults are essentially a matter of travel time targeted versus a planted dodgeble ult. The only real reason you'd play Leona over Naut is her passive being a damage boon. Even then Naut get's damage off with his shield on with the dot | ||

Support Naut and support Volibear are like 100% support carries up to 1800. I like my sleeper OP. | ||
