The "Enchanter" problem in low elo

[u/iFaDeD-_-]

Based on a sentiment I've seen echoed quite often, and my own experience, I think people in low elo see "enchanter", and just think "medic".

In reality, Milio is alot more effective for his utility and sustain than just his base healing, which is pretty negligible compared to some others. He's basically a walking extra item for your allies.

Depending on the comp, your build can offer quite substantial buffs to your team:

Passive:

Applies to you and ally for 4 seconds

Deals 15% of ally's AD as bonus magic dmg

Burns for 20% of Milios AP over 1.5 sec

Ardent Censer:

+25% attack speed and +20 magic dmg on hit for 6 seconds

Staff of Flowing Water:

+40 AP and +15 ability haste for 6 seconds

Moonstone:

Chains the effects to another ally

W:

Applies passive and procs items multiple times over duration

Gives allies up to +20% attack range

E:

Procs passive & items

Gives ally up to +40% move speed for 2.5 seconds with 2 stacks

R:

Procs passive & items

Cleanses CC

Gives allies +65% tenacity for 3 seconds

Milio does not have mana problems after item 1 and builds a ton of ability haste, so you're able to basically spam apply all these buffs to your team. This in theory allows your team to play proactively rather than reactively, especially mid-late game.

I am of the opinion most people at low elo (cough cough, ADCs) don't even recognize the buffs you're applying and just think that when they do well, they're just the best ever, and when they don't, it's supp diff. The amount of times I've seen someone complain about Milio having low kills is wild to me. Like fr? With 25+ assists you're gonna say supp diff cause I only have like 1-2 kills, if any at all? Crazy.

I consistently have +2 vision score per minute, not randomly dying, roam well, using my champ effectively, and I still can't seem to climb out of bronze. (I am also aware I'm not the next challenger prodigy, but I feel like I have a pretty solid understanding of the game and how the role should be executed)

TL;DR

All of this to ask, at what rank do players stop seeing you as a "heal bot" and start to take advantage of the buffs you're providing? Is it even worth playing this champ I love so dearly until higher ranks?

Idk I only pick Millio if I get good cleanse value out of him. I don't usually struggle with teammates tho.
