User blog comment:Big Lupu/The Curse of the Supports/@comment-5761259-20130420180410

My view on it, is late game, supports are  there for either peel, with taric stun, engages, leona, or massive heals, raka. I do agree that they come across as useless, but their job of keeping allies alive is still necessary and important. I would say that replacing certain items with more AP heavy items is a good idea, maybe even necessary. Also, supports are more than able to pick up say, morrelinomicon, because of the cooldown, the AP, and the passive, which can all help you  be more disruptive, or to heal better.
