I don't understand why Rakan's buffs are so small compared to the champions who are going to become meta like Nautilus and Thresh. Is it really necessary to have a "spearhead" figure in Nautilus instead of having multiple viable melee supports?

Largely many of these champions are already fine in solo queue. They're finding success in the current solo queue metagame. Nautilus is the only one really getting overbuffed here and it's because I want to be sure we actually affect pro play.
can you fix karmas base damage and give her more scaling if you guys don’t want her to build an item perfectly crafted for a champion like her, thx
Sure if you want to never be able to play her support again as she lives out her days as a top laner.
That's the core problem I see with the champion. She's the perfect 1v1 ranged champion and then a shield bot in teamfights.
Yeah I knew that part was gonna get removed eventually. I never understood why it existed but thankfully it is gone.
It existed to give some kind of effect that wasn't just "I heal you" as a team-based item.
However, I think an item should really try to just do exactly one thing so that its purpose can be as pushed as possible.
Very broad strokes rule of thumb but one that I'm attempting to apply for now.
Meh I really don't agree with the changes at all, I don't see what's wrong with pros trying stuff to get early prio and leading to really exciting almost paradigm shifting picks like kalista support /u/phreakriot
Engage supports dominated pro league for way way way too long, and i really cba watching naut leona matchup for the 5353953439438483493489348th time
Because it's the only play style right now.
Notice I'm not nerfing Ashe and Nautilus is getting like 8 damage.
I don't want 100% tank meta but I'd rather it be 90/10 tank than 90/10 enchanter. Really I want something much more equitable. We've just never been able to hit that.
Hey look its Phreak
can we not think of pantheon as a support?
Pantheon will not be balanced as a support-first champion. He's a long way away from that right now, though, and his support audience is real.
Sadly I don't think you can say that about most of the balance team at this point.
For all we know most of the balance team could be like Phreak. The only real difference is that we're getting videos with his reasoning for the changes. I can assure you people would have been freaking out and saying Riot's got no clue what they're doing with last patch ADC changes if we didn't get Phreak's video beforehand.
People need to stop talking about the Balance team as a faceless, abstract entity; They're a group of people with probably the same enthusiasm and knowledge as Phreak, they just don't interact with players and I can't blame them seeing how the playerbase treats them

I want to really emphasize this point. The balance team IS staffed with those people. Not all of them want to be front-and-center talking to players. And Phreak brings 10 years of on-air experience talking to an audience about League of Legends, which makes him uniquely effective at communicating changes.
He's doing great work and I don't mean to imply otherwise - but the narrative of him fighting (or revolutionizing) the balance team is simply false.
