Support talk.

[quote=tehAsian]Soraka ain't the worst support right now :p[/quote]

[quote=utopus]lol yeah it was so funny - i started typing my response when there were like 4 responses to this thread, and when i had posted my reply, i noticed i was like the 10th reply... awk haha[/quote]

[quote=utopus]raka's not the worst supp yes, but she can't contribute much in team fights CC wise. Each support ranked higher than soraka have some sort of strong CC like a snare, a STRONG slow, or a stun or something. Soraka simply does not have that, which kind of puts her at a disadvantage compared to other supports. Admittedly, soraka kinda helps your ADC survive any assassins if she can [[infuse]] well + heal well, but she can't help your front line alleviate any of the pounding that would come from bruisers and tanks and carries. Definitely a situational pick Please note that soraka is by no means bad tho[/quote]

[quote=Joshified]The tier list really doesn't suggest that any supports are bad by any means, it is more or less a outline to the most competitively viable in a majority of teams. [[Soraka]] is very circumstantial and kind of loses her usefulness pass laning phase, since in the current meta laning phase is getting shorter and shorter, [[Soraka]] is becoming less used. EDIT: While technically [[Soraka]] would be classed the 'worst' compared to other supports. That doesn't mean she is that incredibly useless, she just currently provides less to the team as a whole compared to ALL other supports. Morello said he was thinking about reworking her passive sometime ago though.. Could be interesting.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]it is worth noting that [[lux]] and [[leblanc]] have been used as supports on a competitive level (we're not just talking solo queue gimmicks here) i believe (but i'm not sure) that frost has been known to put madlife on support lux from time to time, while support LB has been used by a few korean and chinese teams during OGN winter and the LPL[/quote]

[quote=devdevil]Uh, don't see [[lux]] or [[shen]]. Also, [[teemo]] is actually in the 'support' category you know...[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]the reason why those supports work is that if the game goes long, they build ap and become a real carry instead of just an all game support.[/quote]

[quote=Joshified][quote=devdevil] Uh, don't see [[lux]] or [[shen]]. Also, [[teemo]] is actually in the 'support' category you know... [/quote] [[Shen]] isn't a support.. He could, but he loses so much potential it is just a waste. [[Teemo]] is just not even worth belittling. The sooner people ditch [[Teemo]], the sooner the world will become a better place. I guess [[Lux]] is worth adding, though I don't particularly agree with her being a support, since her mid lane is so profound.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]DUDE, support [[Leblanc]] is officially a thing (see Daydreamin), and i'm making theory on support [[Lee Sin]]. support [[Nidalee]] is iffy but can work wonders. I hate this tier shit with so few champions really viable for such. oh, support [[Maokai]]...! Also, the hell with you people still thinking [[Urgot]] is an ADC, evermore still sticking [[Karma]] to support, ffs. It's like saying support [[orianna]] still works. i'd prefer something like this: Engage: [[thresh]], [[Leona]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Zyra]], [[Sona]], [[Maokai]], [[taric]], [[Elise]], [[Lux]] Followup: [[Alistar]], [[thresh]], [[Nami]], [[Leona]], [[Zyra]], [[Sona]], [[taric]], [[Leblanc]], [[Elise]], [[Janna]], [[Fiddlesticks]], [[Nunu]] Protection: [[Lulu]], [[Zyra]], [[Alistar]], [[Soraka]], [[Lux]], [[Janna]], [[Fiddlesticks]] Disengage: [[Janna]], [[Lulu]], [[Zyra]], [[thresh]], [[Alistar]], [[Lux]], [[Leblanc]], [[Nunu]], [[taric]] [[Maokai]] Poke: [[Nidalee]], [[Zyra]], [[Lux]], [[Janna]], [[Lulu]], [[Nami]], [[Elise]], [[Leblanc]] [[Fiddlesticks]], [[Nunu]], [[Maokai]] Zoning: [[Zyra]], [[Nunu]], [[Lux]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Leona]], [[Alistar]], [[thresh]], [[Lulu]], [[taric]] Roaming: [[thresh]], [[Zyra]], [[Lulu]], [[Lux]], [[Alistar]], [[Maokai]], [[Nunu]], [[Janna]] Faceroll factor: [[thresh]], [[Lulu]], [[Leona]], [[Zyra]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Janna]], [[Soraka]] [[Nidalee]], [[Alistar]], [[Fiddlesticks]] maybe not quite, each has it's own specifics.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]Blitz and Thresh support ftw! Because they are the only supports that can grab people :D (I think XD).[/quote]
