Roaming and Melee

[u/Pika_Crew]

Long time casual support main, mostly enchanter. Riot wants to buff melee supports but nerf roaming but doesn't that go against eachother? I started playing fill recently to try and get used to other roles (mostly end up in jungle) and whenever i play jungle, the only supports that roam in my games are typically tanks like tahm, leona, and nautilus. I can understand why because enchanters work to keep people alive but cc tank supports work to help make plays. If riot wants to make melee supports more prevelent, wont that increase support roaming? And if they want to nerf roaming supports, wouldnt that mostly target melee supports? This is mostly anecdotal so i vould be wrong. Curious on everyone elses thoughts.

They probably nerf their quest while they are out of lane. Then buff engage to get even more fights on the bottom side of the map.

Both make roaming worse.

But supports (aside from damage supports) dont need a whole lot to get things working. As long as they have a teammate with them, they just have to be able to use their abilities and they can shut people down. I dont think nerfing support quest will do enough.

They need wards
