User blog:XEvarinya/From carry to support.

Hello there everyone! I'd like to talk about something I thought of recently. I present you, "From carry to support" syndrome (as I like to call it).

Actually it's not about every "carry" character in the game, but more about the "utility carries", let's name them.

The thing is, that in the current meta of high-damage characters with dynamic gameplay, said "utility carries" have a hard time to shine. I'm talking about the likes of, , (I didn't see her in a PvP game for a long time), , . They fall out of their place in favour of "dynamic carries" (carry character with dynamic gameplay, eg., , , , ).

So, in the current meta, where can these champions fit into? The answe is: Support.

Why? Because supports generally don't build a lot of damage. They favour utility more than that. Of course, there are fex exceptions from this rule. However let's gime them closer look.

- she was the first carry champion to be played as a support. People noticed her poking value, her heal's strenght and saw that as a perfect poke champion who could let the carry stay in lane to pile up minion money. Good nidalee's awful strong zoning potential along with an all-in carry/poke carry enabled her to outclass other supports for some time.

- next generation carry champion made into support. Her great level 2 zoning ability with the usage of her passive was - finally - noticed after long abscence from pro scene. Also the damage she is able to pack with the moment of reaching 6th level is often more then enough to strike fear in enemy carry. That, grouped with her zone ability and itemisation changes made her one among top 3 picks for the support during this year's LCS.

From the prime examples of two champions listed above, we see that carry champions with strong utility and/or zoning power have great potential to be played as a support. Itemisation changes opened new path for outclassed - at the moment - carries.

Let me know your opinion on this matter, visitor.
