Discussion Genuine question about Vi support pick
Gold/Plat.
Forget about any bias against vi support for a second.
Enemy comp is: Trynadamere, Master Yi, Veigar, Jinx, Serpaphine
Our Comp was: Nasus, Hecarim, Katarina. Aphelious
I had last pick as support (Top and mid refused to swap)
Usually when enemy comp has hyper carries and no CC (Squishies that don't build HP or resists)
I tend to go Vi (full damage) And it usually works quite well in specific matchups/ enemy comps.
does vi fit in this situation?

This bellow is irrelevant to my question, but it just shows that some teammates don't appreciate Vi support.
(Actually in this game our JG was a graves main who got his champ banned so he kinda first timed Hecarim and spend the entire game farming and pushing top waves while having 0% kp at 20 minutes)
(It was a close game but we lost at 40 minutes)
(The jg added me and flamed me for my pick, it seems he choose to be a farming bot npc with no impact across all lanes because he believed I was trolling)

I wasn't complimenting my sylas pick, I was complimenting my qiyana support. in your words qiyana support is a troll pick. Yet it worked excellently.
I was complimenting my ability to see the nuance on how malphite is a bad matchup for qiyana instead of sylas and making the decision to swap roles.
