I personally had more fun with S3 support, winning vision wars was so satisfying but different strokes for different blokes I suppose. i never bought wards as support to start with so my fun levels have gone up. it felt like in s3 once the AD bought a bf sword i might aswell afk because i cant risk poking at all because 1 shot back from them was worth 5 of my pokes, and at best i was a shield bitch for my ad. now i feel relevant either as an initiator/cc bot or as a real damage threat. ive always enjoyed playing tanky supports the most and now i actually get to do that ;O | ||

There is just an extreme lack of vision in the game right now and it's getting really frustrating honestly, there should be more vision now than pre season 4 even with new ward limits. it's just that 4 of 5 players on the average solo q pub team is used to never warding except during laning. I see people with unused trinket wards 20, 30 minutes into the game far far too often. | ||

how would you get more vision if everyone gets to 6 items almost immediately after laning phase. You get 1-2 wards per player and you have decent map contorl until midgame, then the map slowly goes dark. I guess fnatic is very happy about this? Edit: To elaborate, because I know someone's gonna make the argument that "4 tinkets (assuming 1 red, I prefer 2 reds but let's be charitable)+ sightstone" = 7 wards. Now ward coverage becomes a predictable dancing game and opens up random engagement timings and ambushes. | ||

That's 7 wards - be honest, pre-3.14 how often as support did you have over 7 wards on the map at a time? | ||

The more often, the better. Very often people would buy 3 vision wards on top of the sightstone after laning phase, and then it transitioned into a green ward fight with oracles. You didn't have 7 out all the time though. | ||

 Besides that I have to say that it feels good to oneshot an ADC as Taric while you lose only 10% of your life. Although it feels less fun when a random Nocturne ults in to steal the kill. | ||

Pinking the bush above/below red buff is kinda neat as well early on since it's not too hard to defend. yeah pinks early in your own jungle are great for free kills against counter jungling | ||

Although it feels less fun when a random Nocturne ults in to steal the kill. at first I was really sad, but then I got used to it and I like it, not more, not less it's just different. the gold is a little high though. the only part that still gets me is the stress from no vision ever. | ||

I usually had 5-6 wards on my own. Ruby SS is 3, plus I'd get 4-5 more. The other thing that makes vision control riskier is that support can now be a credible threat, meaning that if you bump into a support you could get murdered when trying to ward, or conversely, if you die it could mean much more. | ||

I really think people still are underestimating how much gold the support gets now. If you have a decent laning phase and can get that assist streak going, its not uncommon to see a support get 2-3 expensive tanky items + sightstone and have the upgraded red sweeper ward. I mean, people laugh when they think of bruiser AP Thresh, but then you try it out and watch him fuck up an enemy back line so much. Hook a champ, dive in, flay and throw down the box, and you're hitting for 100-200 chunks of damage on all those attacks and causing major chaos, all the while you're sitting on 2500 HP or so with locket + sunrise + abyssal. | ||
