Can you just delete them so we don't have to see them nerfed anymore? =/

You use Ranked and Pro QQ to justify your nerfs for Supports where are our Nerfs on Trynd or Vayne? Those champs are QQ every day.

You have not given us anything Support never gets anything. it is not our fault the maps are 4v4 just make the option to play 4v4 there no supports.

You claim to be anti sustain but you leave solo top and even jungle sustain alone. your just giving into the people who cant teamwork, or use in game options for healing.

Way to stand for nothing and fall for everything.
Your argument is baseless and full of paranoia - there is no hate of supports. The last 2 years of that conspiracy has done nothing but proven we like support characters, and after major nerfs their sustain is still extremely high. These numbers started at a place so out of control that they had no where to go but down, and even then pose issues.

We nerfed Vayne and Tryndamere. We nerf a lot of champions. We buff quite a few too. There is no witch hunt, and all the evidence shows that this is, in fact, all in your head.

And Shurelia on a warpath against supports? You mean the pentultimate support player?

I'm guessing they played a healer in WoW. Have to take it easy on them.

Then why is it the heal characters dominate instead of tank/AD kill lanes?

Because kill lanes require coordination, unlike ad/support, so you're not going to see them work properly in solo queue.

In scrims I run kill lanes bot instead because they counter ad/support.

You don't like support champions at all. They get nerfed, they have no skins, and new supports are rarer than a silver dollar in Mexico.

Give one example. ONE EXAMPLE of something nice you've done for the support class. Let's see if you can come up with something.

Edit: And don't say that there is a new champion in the works, because that's not something nice, it's something that's a year overdue. I mean something prior to this post.

One example? how about when you reworked Soraka not into a healer but into a battle mage courtesy of Shurelia. how about the wall of Patch notes for Soraka compared to 2 paragraphs on some AA like Vayne who still gets to abuse the AD items.

novel idea how about instead of me supporting my views again and again you tell me how you love supports. go on I can wait.

Tell us how you love the meta you hate love, about all the ideas for support champs all the skins and new support champs your releasing.

All the Buffs they have gotten over the years. Tell us about your support lux, morganna, and nidelee.

now tell us about all the nerfs they have gotten patch after patch and how many reworks.

go on i can wait.

I'm not trying to win a popularity contest with support characters - I'm trying to keep them in the game balance-wise without making them ruin it in the process. Since they're still great picks and game-worthy only proves we haven't intentionally (or even accidentally) overnerfed them.

There's tons of threads - unpopular champions (such as support) are getting skins prioritized for them, and we have a new support coming out very soon. We don't release enough new ones, agreed on that front...that's why we have to fix it.
