Real talk season 4 supports are scary!
So Iāve did some studying on the new mastery pages and supports for the upcoming season 4 for LoL ( which by the way is a week away) and my godā¦ā¦support champions has gotten some serious steroids. Now lets talk about what supports you should be on the look out for and if you are a support main for competitive play.
lets start off with Soraka since she has been changed the most in Season 4. Soraka doesnāt have the cc that sona has but if you want a really strong support bully she is the girl to go to. Her new passive makes her heals a lot stronger. I wouldnāt pick soraka as my first pick in the support line up but she is up there on my list.
Nami has been my favorite support other than thresh, but in my honest opinion nami is probably going to be a high pick i suggest nami if thresh or leona is not open. Nami has the cc and heals to bully in lane where soraka has great sustain but not cc.
Ziliean is more of a kill lane support cause his bombs do so much damage as far as other supports harasses go, then if you really want to get creative with zilean you could pair him with syndra and throw his bombs at people so keep that in mind. wouldnāt pick zilean too highly cause the fact that he is very squishy and he as a support doesnāt really give anything to your adc the only āccā that he has is his E which is really freaking good it slows them almost like a nasus wither.
Nunuā¦ā¦they havenāt change him at all it seemed like in the patch notes but his ap ratios are still way to high and his sustain is way to goodā¦..justā¦if you lane against a nunu in the adc/support laneā¦..donāt underestimate him but try not to focus him cause he will tank everythingā¦.
Taric has not really changed as far as support taric goes they just nerfed his top lane and his jungle useā¦.yes taric jungle/top taric was a thing⦠other than thatā¦.its just taric he has stuns and heals.
Sona is pretty much the same good support you all know and love she for the sona mains they will still pick her, nothing to say about sona :T
Thresh omg thresh is still a god support i love him to death im going to try not to over say how great a support he is and how he is just amazingā¦. he doesnāt have heals but what he does have is the cc,poke,and engages like none other he is just like blitz but with more built in damage speaking of whichā¦..
Blitzcrankā¦.my godā¦.. real talk guys take a week to learn blitz and you can win alot of games his combos make or break games ⦠and for yours and my sake DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT LET A BLITZ GO UNBANNED IN SOLO QUE just no unless you are first pick and mind game for him JUST BAN HIM PERIOD
Lulu her slows are kinda meh but turning people into cupcakes her main part of her support kitā¦.but she can however counter some top lanersā¦.ah when lulu used to jungle and other shenanigans :D
janaā¦.i really donāt have anything to say about jana her tornado knock up thing got nerfed so mid lane jana got nerfed in that sense other than that she really didnt change that much
umm other than that i donāt have opinions about other non streamline supports like shen,mundo,rammus,orhiana,yorick,annie well i lied annie hasnāt really changed is still will be a thing for a kill lane support.
I think next time I will talk about junglers in season 4 and how some junglers have been impacted with the jungle changes.
oh shit I realized I left Leona off the list >_> my bad. Leona is really, really cc heavy as a support kinda tanky and at lvl 3 she has the mental ability to engage anyone it takes some time to learn when to go for a kill with your adc or just sit back and chill. She has been seen to solo lane and jungle but I think jungle Leona won't be a thing in season 4 due to jungle changes so keep her in the top/mid lanes and or support.
