User blog comment:XelNecra/Image and Role of Support/@comment-195.69.193.54-20121116125054

An excellent post, Kudos here

For me, the whole basic concept of "you are a support, you arent allowed to either kill minions and heaven forbid champions" needs to end. It delegates support to a very passive role, and passive roles are rarely attractive.

soraka has MR reducing passive on her starcall - but everytime I try to use that and risk killing anything (solo game) I got flamed until I shelved her.

Id rather have some more "offensive supporters" who have about 50% supportive skills and 50% offensive and you can decide which way to go AND building hybrid is a viable option.

Or you get more gold on assists (and minion assists as support !) to reward a "passive" playstyle
