Possible Support changes?

[quote=The Overmyynd]I actually think this is a great idea. AP scaling to make the CC last longer is a good idea. Thats generally how i build my supports anyway (if i DO do the "traditional" support, such as taric or soraka... Generally i do much more aggressive supports).[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=Crows foot] [quote=OTGBionicArm] There's no reasonable way to stop the 0cs meta at bot lane currently. Those changes would probably nerf the length of their early game CC's in exchange for later stronger CC. That's silly because AD carries practically rely on their supports strong early CC to get kills or for defense. [/quote] Not silly at all in my book. If you have a less strong babysitter you might end upp the victim of more aggression. Now that's a good thing. Make botlane more eventful. [/quote] won't happen. Professional level play doesn't want bot lane to be eventful (which is why the meta is the way it is right now), they want it to be a farmfest so they can rely on their AD to carry late game. Aside, making it more eventful would probably make games way more lopsided, basically if you lose bot you lose late-game, I highly doubt anyone wants to increase the chance to lose bot, even if it means potentially increasing your chance to win[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]^what Mooninites said, is how i feel.[/quote]

[quote=Acid Reigns]Imagine 800ap taric stunning you for 10 seconds... That is extremely anti fun.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I am pretty sure it will cap, and his burst will be insane at 800 ap. But still, I think this is one of the best ways to change the meta. Cause the pro's might not want meta to change but if the mechanics of the game change they will have to change with it or lose out.[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]If you like supporting right now, you don't want the support to change.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I agree with Morello, but also you have to think about what this might mean in a positive sense as well. I know they won't do this to Malphite, but what if the attack speed debuff on Malphite's ground slam scaled with AP? What if you got 700 AP and the enemy AD carry's AS was reduced by 80%? At least consider that there might be -something- interesting that could come out of this. It's probably just code word for a nerf, but we can't know until we see the numbers.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I like support now but I do play active, aggressive lanes and not passive farmlanes.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=Crows foot] I am pretty sure it will cap, and his burst will be insane at 800 ap. But still, I think this is one of the best ways to change the meta.

[/quote] Sure, I'm not saying they shouldn't change something for the sole purpose that the 1-.5% of the population wants to keep it said way, but I am saying games will be far more lopsided. Also I think you'd see a decrease in passive lane champions like Ashe and Vayne again in favor of champions with kill potential or strong laning. Also, there are ways to play "passive supports" aggressively. People consider Soraka boring and passive, but i think she's actually one of the most active supports. I am constantly using starcall and spamming infuse on enemies not to mention auto-attacking. She's actually quite good at this, but people tend to just sit there and spam heal and thats when people consider her boring and toxic. She can be played aggressively if you choose[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]You like agressive lane? Play agressive supports, problem solved. What we want is not the actual support to change. We want more supports! =.=[/quote]
