I get the need for the role, but isn't there a way to not have it be 15 minutes of making sure my baby doesnt die, 15 minutes of hitting sticks on the ground and 15-20 minutes of running in a circle till someone does something stupid. It's just not fun.

Who are you playing? Pick Thresh or Leona and make plays. I think playing an aggro support can be one of the most fun things in this game. I mean yeah, Soraka is gonna be pretty boring to play, it all comes down to how you decide to play the role.


I think that this is Riot's sentiment, and that is...unfortunate at best. Well, thresh is just ridiculous, but all in supports are not the kind of play style that lots of people like.

I mean there are also poke supports like Sona/Lulu or more passive ones like Taric/Soraka. I'd say the variety of supports isn't really bad, I just find the people that hate playing support usually tend to prefer the aggro supports. Thresh/Leona are like the only two real all in supports anyway (Maybe Ali?).


My two favorite characters in the game are Janna and Ali.

Janna is totally antifun in YOLO-Q. Ali is probably my highest winrate champ.

I guess I'm just confused at your statement that people don't like all-in supports. I have never really encountered that sentiment anywhere.

Is there a shortcut that can easily put people on ignore? I play with a group of friends ~5days a week and I seriously ~50% of games have to add one of them back to my friends list because I somehow put them on ignore. I press tab a lot, but that's the only thing I can think of. I don't think I'm accidentally pressing the button on the tab screen that ignores people...

Any ideas?

I dont like all in supports, except Ali, if you consider him one, but I like supporting(in theory), I've always played buff-ing type champs like WoW Paladin/Druid, Warcry Barbs, Clerics/Bard (EQ).

If I listed my supports in order of who I would like to play (if they were good):
1. Janna 2. Ali 3. Soraka 4. Lulu 5. Zyra 6. Sona 7. Taric 8. Leona 9. Blitz
Unranked (Because I haven't played enough/have never played while that champ is balanced): Thresh/Elise

Edit: Heck i forgot taric cus hes so...taricy

That is completely the opposite of me. I love all-in supports and lane fighting. My ranking goes:
1) Leona 2) Thresh 3) Blitz 4) Sona

I end up playing a lot of Taric though, mostly because he is the safest support (imo) and wins lane the easiest. I don't play Ali because I had completely forgotten about him. I'll have to dust him off.

edit: What do people think of some of the unconventional supports? I just played a game with a Maokai where I was Ezreal. Since I spammed so much, Mao was getting some pretty solid sustain, and his CC and early damage is pretty nuts. Easy brush control with saplings, good gank support, etc. I could see him falling off late game because of how tanky he needs to be, but the same could be said for Thresh or Blitzcrank.

I love playing Thresh but hate playing Leona.

Love playing Lulu but hate playing Sona

Support favoritism tiers (no particular order within tiers.)

Tier 1: Thresh, Lulu, Nami, Blitzcrank
Tier 2: Taric, Soraka, Alistar
Tier 3: Sona, Leona

Other supports or things-that-can-be-played-support I haven't really played enough to evaluate.

I play mid, AD peasant. I'm too busy making big plays to kite.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Blitz always has his pull, so he's semi relevant unless your team is behind to the point where you can get 2v5'd.

Leona is more comparable to Mao because she has a dash/root to enemy champ and another hard CC (difference being point and click vs skillshot. However, Leona has a pretty good defense steroid which can let her dive more safely.

Thresh has got an overpowered kit. He's going to be relevant all game as well. I've had games where we were 3 inhibs down but I was farming like 10 souls per wave. After a few minutes of that, I had like 300 armor and 300 damage autos, and once I got a grab, I basically instagibbed the enemy AD and AP singehandedly.

Generally on every single ranged champ I own, I a-click. On every single melee I right click for CS. For any kiting/chasing, it's always right click a-click.

Mechanics are hard =/.

Honestly, some unconventional supports are OK: Morg, Lux, Fiddle, Leblanc, Mao, Panth, Yorik, ZIlean, but the problem is:for me at least, that I don't feel like Im supporting. And I want to support. I want to play a viable champ that has 3 heals and a shield, or 4 shielding moves, or 1 heal, 1 shield, and 2 crowd control effects.

Unfortunately, that is not how the game is at the moment, so even players who think they would like support, are disappointed..

Speaking of Fiddle support, I honestly cannot for the life of me understand how to lane with him correctly. Besides throwing Dark Winds (which end up pushing lane), I try to posture for fear/drains, but then I usually end up getting melted/poked to death.

Maybe its cuz every time I play Fiddle, its in blind picks and I lane vs a Leona/Ali or something.

Yeah, that was basically my take on it. Mao support won't be tanky enough to use his W for anything other than peel after mid game; still, his Q and W are decent peel and his R scales off of enemy magic damage. I still think he could be a decent niche pick since his lane phase is quite good. That said, I can't really think of a time that I would take him over a conventional support besides maybe against an extremely AP+AoE heavy team comp (Ori + Vlad + Malph + Sona + Kog for example).

I thought it didn't limit, I remember seeing a picture of another buff coming on to you called Soul Glutton. Losing all stacks and starting from 0 again.

it had a limit of 255 on release by accident, they have since removed it. You get Soul Glutton after 255, it does nothing. You dont lose your benefit from the prev 255
