RD , tooling , testing , alot more goes into them than just cost of material . <| sep |> Yeah , I ' m telling you , it was a massive cuckold circlejerk in there . Did you just assume he doesn ' t like to watch ? Ok , maybe I should ' ve been more specific and said They all skulked off , but I ' m not touching that spez button . <| sep |> That ' s all right . Thanks anyways ! <| sep |> Riot didn ' t create the support role Summoner ' s Rit and the players did . They found the most efficient way to win games on Summoner ' s Rift and since then very little has changed about the five roles . Summoner ' s Rift pretty much requires one champion to support because there are 5 players on a team and 4 sources of gold and xp . Unless Riot did something super drastic like changing the number of players per team , there is always going to be one supportive player unless Summoner ' s Rift changes . Any change they would have to make to eliminate the support role would have to be incredibly drastic , and seeing as Riot is making billions of dollars in revenue , there ' s no way they would fundamentally change the game hat makes them all of their money .
