Personally I think Nami is one of the top 10 champs on ARAM because it's one huge teamfight and Nami crushes teamfights. I'm not really sure how you are misplaying her if you think that she is bad.

I just watched the old Malzahar champion spotlight and it's incredible how far they've come. Phreak sounds detached, they explain the spells without showing them, and there are like two minutes of him explaining basic mana management- e.g save mana for your ult. Pretty entertaining. Video

Also he picks out Soraka as a priority target.

Yo that Soraka was building full terror AP. Slusher is ahead of his time (or we're just all behind? I don't even...)

The days of AP soraka and AP lulu.

Pretty happy to not have those again.

Even if they kept their ratios I don't think it would be that great in s3. Adc nerfs, and accelerated gameplay would severely cripple this strat, maybe could work on vayne or corki due to strong single item timings.

It wasn't her ratios getting nerfed, it was the entire rework on her kit. E used to be self-targetable for free mana and W used to be on a massively shorter cooldown and cost less but give no armor buff. Soraka mid would still be extremely viable because of her silence nuke and itemless sustain that scales.

Oh and you're also forgetting that AP Soraka was played in mid lane, not from support. That's probably why you don't think it's strong?

Supports need a tether item that can be upgraded like 300-400 gold at a time. It should work kinda like Wisp's tether, (probably with different bonuses) and goes on like a 10-15 Second CD if the tether is broken.

Dignitas used either Janna or Taric when they ran the comp. Their jungle was also Mundo because pretty autonomous, lightning-fast clear and once he got his SV+HP item (sunfire, randuin's or warmogs, can't remember) he could initiate by simply walking into the whole enemy team and between Soraka mid, Lulu top, and Taric/Janna support he'd have the survivability to hold the frontline alone.

Because they ran Kog'Maw they had a super-scaling with high damage AD carry that meant the enemy team had to do something about him in teamfights, but there was a shitton of peeling and trying to ignore Mundo meant that the heals and shields could go to Kog instead, making him really hard to take down.

The comp lacked clear and poke, but between Kog's range, Mundo's tankiness and the shields/heals they could walk up to the tower, tank some shots while Kog whittled it down, rinse and repeat till it's down.

That, and Mundo's base magic damage is pretty damn high (scaling/pen is the issue for Mundo) as is Kog's, which meant their teamfight grew increasingly stronger as their teamwide DPS scaled tremendously as the teamfights grew longer. Could've worked with any jungler with high base magic damage/survivability (Shyvana for instance).

It was genius: pity Riot nerfed it into the ground.

that's SR speaking. Compared to some other dude with items, no, she does not wreck teamfights, lol. If supports with items were as strong in teamfights as other heroes with items you'd just run supports all the time.

Having one of the best healing throughputs and good CC makes you pretty broke as fuck on ARAM, especially when your healing skill also pokes.

You don't pick supports as champions not scaling with farm, you pick supports as champions with strong base utility (potentially a bit level-dependant, though) regardless of how well they scale off of farm.

the ones that do scale get nerfed until they're no longer supports or no longer scale, so at this point they're basically equivalent
