Janna shield AD bonus scales off of AP. Possibly stuff like soraka W armor off AP, etc. Not sold on this approach, because that basically means that you will never see a champion designed as a support EVER do something other than support. If the janna shield AD bonus also increased with AP, you'd see a corresponding nerf to her AP scaling elsewhere, and that hurts a laner far more than it hurts a support. i agree, but i still think thats a better situation than current. ive said before that i believe the game would be better if the whole idea of a 'support' champ was removed, and supporting became something more optional and/or abstract like 'initiator' or whatever. but if they are going to keep support champs in the game i think its at least interesting to see how a new form of scaling works out. offtopic, in starcraft the leagues (used to) roughly correspond to 20% skill segments of the player base, and i always assumed league was the same. bronze bottom 20%, silver 20-40% etc. but someone in an offhand comment on reddit early said that being in gold put you in the top 10% of people? does anyone have the official breakdown to hand? | ||

Well, it's just that most junglers are currently relegated to tank and secondary ward bitches and don't deal too much damage if the game gets past the 30 minute mark.

My understanding was that they base the player distribution down to elo and MMR, and that the largest girth of players is in the Bronze 3 - Silver 3 divisions, with Silver 5 having like 20% of the player population by itself or some such number. I think the graph I saw was on lolking.net or lolnexus, I could be wrong. Plus, I don't want to dig through my browser history to find the link. | ||

From a jungler point of view myself, it's boring as fuck building Locket/Ancient Golem/Boots all game with every champ. It looked like the Meteos style might catch on but it did not and now if you don't build those three items then spend the rest or more tanky stuff you just fall off hard. Eve is like the lone exception, and I rarely see (or use) her anymore. | ||

Except that has zero to do with junglers not getting enough gold and everything to do with the fact that multiplicative scaling on offensive stats favoring putting damage on as few points as possible. | ||

If they make champions that absolutely cannot lane without getting completely shit on but have insane carry potential when farmed, then having more gold in the jungle will actually matter | ||

Well you can make junglers who are good duelists but still have crazy carry potential and yet still suck at laning like Shyvana and Nocturne | ||

Most people have identified it as "the conditional probability that you will win given that you are winning is higher than the unconditional probability of winning" That's like ... ??? In economic games like LoL and SC2, a strategic advantage also confers a proportionate tactical advantage. The magnitude of this proportion is "snowballsiness" or whatever word you want to make up. Too much and the game becomes snowballsy, too little and the game stops rewarding risk which is usually crucial to economic games. In physical team sports this doesn't really happen, nor in fighting games. There's still tactical pressure created by a strategic advantage, but it's not like an economic game where leading in score means leading in resources available. Soccer teams don't take a player off the field to reward an opposing goal. Finally, casters' willingness to use snowball as a verb means that no one watches Clerks anymore, which is a pity. | ||

To that end vision should be restricted and items should be put in their price range, but it's not like supports SHOULDN'T be buying items. They should just have items that are worth buying that aren't wards. Which brings us back to what lots of people have already said. Sure, I mean, in the current game, wards and Oracles are pretty much the only things worth buying and I think there's plenty of "fun" in playing your role with those. People who are bitching about that well... they probably shouldn't be playing support. | ||

So supports and junglers aren't all buying the same items every game, giving them real itemization options and the ability to make strategical decisions with their gold? Just because it's been the norm to have your jungler/support having almost no gold and being largely supportive in nature doesn't mean it always has to be that way. By allowing the jungle position more gold, you INCREASE jungler diversity and INCREASE jungle strategical options because they don't ALWAYS have to be champions that don't need a lot of farm. | ||
