I see Viktor didn't make your list. I will continue playing him as a support, and you can't stop me!

I felt happy knowing that I can rant whatever I want :P

This was pretty much the only way to deal with my frustration of poor supports.

It's kind of obvious you shouldn't play with a champion you aren't sufficiently skilled with in Ranked, much less, as a support if you can't support.

But I like playing support LeBlanc :/ She's mighty fun to play.

I called all of these out of personal experience and memory, I honestly haven't seen Viktor played support.

Name a single sustain support that sees any competitive play (spoiler: there are none).


I am not speaking as if sustain supports are the norm, notice how I have not included Leona, Janna, Blitzcrank, or Thresh in the list despite them not having any form of sustain.

If a support can make a nice play, I mentioned so in the asterisk.

But the cornerstone of your argument was that sustain/shields were better than damage. If that's the case, why is every popular support a strong early damage dealer with no sustain and no/minor shield? Annie in particular being one of the top three or four supports right now, despite her being entirely focused on burst damage and CC.

The ability to take advantage of enemy mistakes and sustain their partner...

It's like I'm being ignored.

Well to be fair it's pretty hard when you contradict yourself at every turn.

But you said a few comments ago that supports like Leona and Thresh were good supports despite their lack of sustain. You're kind of contradicting yourself... Plus, any champion played half decently can "take advantage of enemy mistakes".
Thanks to Ubnoxius for the sig!
