You know what I really hate? People who consider the term "support" to be a derogatory term, as if it's in some way a role you shouldn't want to be or that it is less than you. That little thing you called "utility" is the primary job of supports - they enable, they disable, they peel, they empower. When a mage's damage falls off - they support. That is the entire distinction between the two classes that Riot have spent 3 seasons perfecting - damage versus utility. Your entire comment seems to revolve around the bizarre notion that "supporting" and "contributing utility" are two different things, as if you find the word "support" offensive. I guess this is what I get for writing around midnight.

Yes, when I used word "support" it might've sounded offensive, but, for me, "support" and "contributing utility" are two different things.

It's like saying that Talon is a support, because he has got single-targeted silence, wow.

I don't even want to talk about it, for I rewrited this text 4 times and I still feel it should look differently.
