We have yet to experience League of Legends: Season 4, as it hasn’t started yet; however, we already see what’s in the minds of the Riot Game developers and what they are looking forward to changing in the game. As we already know, the overall system will be revised in the new season and we will be noticing improvements, which are focused a greater, better environment for talent. One of the main things, which we’ll see in a whole new light, is the role of the support. Riot Game developers will be renovating the support character and will be rebuilding it from the ground up. You will now be able to fully assist your allies in amazing and different new possible ways. You will not only be protecting and carrying your allies, but also have duties regarding the offense and the defense. The support role in League of Legends may have been one of the most undesirable; however in Season 4 we will see a definite change in that.
Getting gold far more easier than before
In last seasons, the Supporters weren’t able to get a lot of gold from a match. However, this will be changed in the upcoming League of Legends: Season 4. You will have three different options to earn gold throughout the match. One will be to hit as much minions as possible, the other is to get close to dead enemy minions and the last one is through poking the enemy championships. Moreover the new masteries will be providing you with gold as well. All of this will probably be making the Support role one of the richest professions in the world of League of Legends.
Don’t get the blame for warding anymore
If you have played as a supporter before, you have probably gotten the blame for warding after every lost game, as up to now it was an exclusive task of the supporter. However, that will change as well. Supporters won’t be able to ward the whole map and will only be limited to having, per person, only up to three invisible wards. Now players won’t be able to blame the support, as everyone will be responsible for warding.
Synergy: A great new addition
Warding was definitely risky and tedious task and one of the main reasons people simply did not want to play the Supporter role. However, in Season 4 you will have a greater role in the game and will definitely be more active. The Support will be taking the offensive mode in play as well, as you will have abilities, which will let you get involved in the battle through more damage, engaging and tanking. The Supporters will even be able to defy and kill enemy champions and there isn’t anything more exciting than that.
With all those changes in mind, the Support role will now let players be different and enjoy a whole new set of experiences. Not only will you be getting more gold, but you will be able to directly affect the gameplay as well. And don’t worry about getting the blame for warding as it is not only your responsibility anymore. The support role is definitely one you should look forward to playing in the new League of Legends season.
It is great that Riot Game developers are always looking and know what the League of Legends players think of their game. That way they are able to upgrade the game in just the right direction and make it even better to play, and as we can see League of Legends Season 4 will definitely be a great one for the support players.
