Opinion on mages bot
Hey guys, adc main here.
I see on r/adcmains nearly every post /at least every second post) is about mages bot and how they destroy the lanes for all adc players and how disgusting it is to play against them.
I wanted to get an insight of how supports look at this (and I mean true supports, not those wannabe camille/pantheon/sylas supports...). I checked through this subreddit, but could rarely find anything from support mains. There was one thread about it and then there are some comments in various other threads where most of the time the baseline is "Play bard and leave bot to help the team otherwise and die on botlane with your ADC against brand velkoz".
But this was just limited info from a few comments.
I wanted to know, how you guys think about this current season and the state on botlane? Are you happy with it? Would you prefer playing with your ADC on bot or do you enjoy roaming or the variety on botlane? Would you like if riot introduced more different champions into botlane (have seen the occasional garen "ADC")? Would you also like more variety on supports on bot lane to play against?
So in general, what do you say about the current meta on bot, compared to other seasons and what would you change if you had the opportunity to?
From my point of view, supports definitely got a lot of good things from the changes with mages bot. They either win pretty free the lane with their ziggs as apc, or they can roam no problem and can't get flamed anymore (which was the case for supports in previous seasons, at least in lower elo, where this wasn't soo common to see).
