If the jungler exist low damage supports like Lulu, Janna and some melee engage supports (Leona and Alistar to some degree) you just poke down. | ||

Just not really the meta for her. If she were to start a rampage in laning phases that would be extremely problematic considering how well she scales with the support items and tear. | ||

You get tear on Sona support? I mean, it's a really nice item on her, but I can't see a support getting it until the late game because she needs to buy other items first. | ||

not building tear helps with that but even still it's hard not to int | ||

You're a walking contradiction here since you're spending all day talking about how badly designed league is compared to dota despite playing league instead of dota and posting in a league forum instead of a dota forum. we get that you like the design of dota better and i'm not saying it's not, but i guess my main points are 1: you can't say league is badly designed just because it doesn't exactly have the same design philosophy as the game you like 2: who really gives a shit anyway? if you like the design of one game more go play that one | ||

Dota may be easier to balance just because it doesn’t have anywhere near the same number of people trying to break the game and find imbalances. Like how early Magic had ridiculously imbalanced over powered cards but still had fun tournament metagames because the player base back then wasn’t big enough to find all the broken interactions. | ||
