[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Quickstrike NC [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Crow SMK So why is it that y'all say to go support masteries and use all that support nonsense when I could be using these OP spells at a much higher level? This really makes no sense to me at all. Y'all are holding me back. This must be a conspiracy against me and Dan. Trying to hold the bottom lane back because y'all can't keep up.[/quote] I don't think going full AP on a support player is reasonable. Sure, it can work, sometimes, but going full support is much more beneficial to the whole team. It always has been. [/quote] What are you going to do with something like 6% damage increase or armor pen? You aren't supposed to be doing much damage with a support; you get off potshots when you can, but your main job is to keep the carries up. Think of the system most MMOs have: there is a tank, multiple DPS players, and a healer or two. The tank eats the damage from the enemies, the dps players concentrate on doing as much damage as possible, and the healer keeps everyone up. You are the healer, Suns/Theo are the tank depending on champs, and Dan and I are the DPS. Ideally, our front line (Suns/Theo) tie the other team up in combat and keep them from us other three, while Dan and I pour out damage from the edges. You keep Theo/Suns up, and if Dan or I start getting smacked around, you keep us up. Support masteries help increase your healing, give CDR, increase your mana pool, and tons of other things that let you do your role better.
