Chemtech Drake is the best thing ever for enchanter supports
The one time supports should be demanding.
In January 2022, Riot Games made the decision todisable Chemtech Drake entirelyinLeague of Legends, including its Soul and Terrain, because it was “too frustrating to play with, especially if you’re on the losing team.”
Nearly a year later, the game developers are reintroducing the green dragon for Preseason 2023, with a new-and-improved design.
Besides getting a new drake, new buffs, and new terrain, this particular drake goes as far as altering the plants in the jungle with different effects. One particular class of champions will benefit a lot from the dragon’s buff and altered plants — supports.

The most valuable aspect is the Chemtech Buff, which grants 5% healing and shielding power, and makes all enchanter supports sit up.
“This is basically Infernal Soul for enchanters,”Nick “LS” De Cesare said in his patch 12.22 rundown. “Enchanters that go Redemption, Mikael’s… This is a massive steroid for them.”
He also added that because enchanters like Soraka, Karma, Lulu, and Janna don’t get high AP ratios, Infernal Drake doesn’t bolster them as much compared to the new Chemtech Drake.
In the most ideal scenario, enchanter supports would benefit the most from a combination of Infernal Drake, Ocean Drake, and finally, Chemtech Drake.
Infernal grants a percentage of ability power, which bolsters their shields and heals that scale off AP. Ocean Drake restores a percentage of missing health every five seconds to all teammates, increasing everyone’s survivability, and alleviating the support’s job slightly.
Finally, Chemtech Drake would boost their heals and shields, making this the best dragon combination for enchanters.
Supports in general would also appreciate the upgraded Scryer’s Bloom, called Firelight’s Bloom, which reveals an additional area around it on top of the cone. It grants allies hit extra movement speed and all wards in the area to drop to one health, which makes vision control a little more convenient.
