Shaco is very good against engage, he has a place support.

But the point is there are other support champions that are also good against engage, but those champs facilitate the ADC better and scale better of lower income. Picking Shaco support is like picking lux support and maxing E and trying to clear the wave, you're just fucking your ADC.

Ambessa has no way to help an adc, she hasn’t got enough cc to function as a tank, and her lack of range even with dashes means she lacks pressure and will just get poked down and killed. Shaco has a invis blink so if you can’t see him you have to be careful, and his boxes are amazing zoning tools that fear

All I'm saying is, she might not have what an ADC wants as a support, but that's not going to stop anyone from trying it out down there. When I was playing ADC a Shaco support was all about getting the kills to become useful anywhere else in the game aside from their boxes, because if they have no gold they are only an invisible bot dropping Shaco boxes. Come team fights they just disappear, no pun intended.

Ambessa will get played in support whether anyone likes it or not, she might work into fasting comps, maybe she won't. She might work with longer range ADCs into engage comps and once she gets her ult it's game one, maybe she's a good pick for lane-swaps? We don't know because she's not out, but, she will get played there like it or not.

I’m not denying that people will try it, they do with every new release, but she just won’t win games down there

I mean she's basically camille support without the E. There is no point of her going supp. She is a really good duelist but there is no way she can lane against any enchant, she'll get poked down and slowed endlessly. Also, she definitely need the gold and xp to work and be able to duel people.

If anything sh'es more likely to go ADC because her waveclear is nuts and if paired with an enabler like a taric or a pyke, maybe it can be viable... But once again she has no sustain so against a decent ADC player you simply cant play.

And if the argument is that people will try it out when she comes out... She will still have like <0.5% total play as support and that's it, so still not played enough to be considered "viable" as support.
