League of Legends support champions will be centered around utility roles, with Riot Games decreasing their overall damage output in Patch 14.7.
Matt Leung-Harrison, the lead gameplay designer of League, confirmed the developers are adjusting multiple champions like Nami, Nunu, Karma, Sona, and Camille. Most of these champions should see an increase in their utility output and scale down their damage to be less potent on the battlefield and facilitate other high-damage dealers.

@Marlon Douglas, I find Riot Games’ shift towards emphasizing utility roles for support champions in League of Legends quite intriguing. This change has the potential to shake up the meta and promote better teamwork and coordination among players. By reducing damage output and focusing on utility skills, support players may be encouraged to enhance the overall gameplay experience for themselves and their teams. These adjustments will likely require players to adapt their strategies, fostering a more strategic and collaborative gameplay approach. It will be exciting to see how these changes play out and influence team compositions and gameplay strategies.
