EPTSupports are to Ap casters as tanks are to bruisers.
They are distinct classes based on the limitations of their scaling and utility.

She's a carry that has 1 skill that happens to allow her to perform a single task that is otherwise relegated to another role. The whole point of having terms categorizing champions is so that it's useful when selecting champions. "Tank" doesn't do that. You'd never pick Shen when you need a Bruiser. You'd never pick Irelia when you need an initiator. You'd never pick Amumu when you need a support. The term "tank" doesn't convey any information about champs like Amumu and Malphite to you. You don't pick them because they build survivability. Any champ can build survivability. You pick them because they initiate fights. So you classify them as initiators. Likewise there's nothing in Shen's kit that makes his role different from, say, Taric or Janna. He's a support--he has defensive CC, a heal, and a shield. Like even if you strip out bruisers/melee carries from the "tank" category, you can't classify Amumu/Malphite/Shen/etc. all in the same category because they don't perform the same role. Champs like Amumu/Malphite are initiators and champs like Shen are melee supports. | ||

I saw earlier. It was shocking. If anything they just took away TF's pub stomp abilities, but he is still very scary with great coordination. | ||
