I'm not saying ww support is bad though.I think it could be quite great. Just need to analyze him well and abuse his strengths. If say Madlife played WW Im sure none of you would argue about its viability.Gotta play him well. Quite an interesting and unique champion too. And surely its viable at D1. Just like everything is. Just look at all those 1 trick ponies playing all kinds of champions that seemingly make no sense. Lol is a deep game, can't just like analyze a whole game in a forum. Malzahar support is strictly better than WW support.

I do play it and i try to make it work but so far i can't, so i can't sell people stuff i can't do myself. Yea you can do it all that with other top supports, but not with other unorthodox picks, which seperates him from them. And true, but you don't really need to outplay hard or put super effort with him any on skill level, just play smart. You DON'T play it. That's why your fucking main account has 0 games in ranked with him. There is no evidence whatsoever that you actually have played him and the only thing you are willing to provide to us is "come play a game where I pick him and if we win it's good" which is fucking retarded. | ||

and yea def better than ww, to be clear the vast majority of obscure support picks will be ranged, being melee with a low gold total means your just going to get blown up making you terrible unless you bring something really special to the table when you are in melee range. | ||

Lane focused Leblanc goes Athenes first. What it's about is to constantly chunking the enemy midlaner with W, and R-empowered W. It can grab kills, but mostly it's to chunk them down to 20%, and so they can't actually stay in lane. And you just rinse and repeat without running out of mana, and then you just fucking do it constantly, until you just crush that lane super hard. Also it's better for extended teamfights, since you can keep spamming W, for easy AoE damage. It's essentially the requires minimal mechanical skill version of Leblanc. | ||

In a lot of high level games, you can't really depend on getting blue So Athene's lets you farm really hard to buy your next item, and your threat of chunking is still decently high That's how I see it anyways | ||

I avoid playing bot lane, but when I do I play Fiddle support since that's who I mostly played in the latter half of season 3. I never seen anybody else play him anymore though, and I've had a couple of people complain about my support choice recently. Typical "it got nerfed so it's shit now" behavior. Plus, I don't think he does well against popular supports currently. | ||

Then if you add in the fact that supports tend to itemize cdr, it went from 45% uptime to ~33% uptime. Saying it's typical nerf backlash behavior is disingenuous. Aggressive supports rising certainly didn't help, but the nerf was the final nail in the coffin so to speak. | ||

Imagine if Swain could keep maxed Torment's %damage amp. while maxing Nevermove to farm.

You've got to realise it lose almost 25% of its duration and it went from around double a standard stun's duration to only 50% more. Post-tenacity the difference is less than 0.5s. And he sucks against tanky/sustain supports because apart from his good early levels, his range and aa animation don't let him harass melee (usually tanky+good burst/initiation) or poke supports well, meaning dshield start trashes him, and hard initiation popularity too. He would love the CDR he can get from Talisman+Lucidity though, then dump all his gold in survivability and sightstone. Lack of Oracle makes it harder for him to initiate tho. | ||
