Objectively untrue.

[Tasha Vulpine]

nah

[BobTheYak]

Maybe post what you think the problem is, otherwise it just sounds like you got wrecked and are butthurt about it.

shes good in team composition, she by herself is utterly garbage, maybe add her aspect to be so the kiss can only be used on opponents and herself, as in link to herself only, idk something like aspect of nascisism or something, then it would make her bad on comps but good solo when enabled.

Who would have thought having the equivalent of 4 actives (which is equal to the rest of your team) on a lower cooldown and no antiheal starter is gonna lead to problems.
Lol

They'd need to butcher her kit to balance that ult with how actives currently work (only one per person)

Or you could learn how to counter-play and counter-build and stop nerfing balanced gods because you're a bad player?

I've yet to play Aphrodite yet. Ra is my go to for healing. Why is she so broken apparently?

From what i can tell its mostly a combination of her ult with the active items that makes her so strong for example her ult and having cleansing beads is just an insane amount of safety for her team

ever used a anti heal item?
Most supports should build a Ruinous Ankh which reduces healing by a whopping 40% just for being near them. thats pretty nuts

yeah and its still not enough not that i expect to kill her as a support, but the carries can't even touch her due to crazy amount of immunities

The thing is that support aphro is actually really effective against the current anti-heal situation.
There is no antiheal starter so you will get out pressured no matter what at the start. Nobody can compete with this amount of early sustain on two people.
So now you look at your first rushed item.
Brawlers is not something your carry can afford at this point because it kills any kind of boxing potential.
Divine is less egregious but has very strict requirements on your played god.
Ankh is on paper the best option until you notice you can't actually apply this consistently on her without putting yourself in danger, so you are taking damage to just mitigate part of their sustain, which is still a net loss for you.

Once she hits level 9 she becomes practically ungankable, no jungler wants to risk wasting farm for nothing just to get the aphro ult because you would need to spend even more time there to facilitate a kill afterwards with her ult down. Time she is gonna be at full health anyway because her birds are maxed at this stage.

It's just a horrible lane to fight against because it generates too much pressure and safety early on, followed by a really hard to crack mid game and then late game you have to deal with 2 additional sets of beads and aegis on the enemy team. At that point at least a support build will fall off hard on her, so you can try to abuse that.

The unfair thing isn't that she's broken later on but that she will always break even or win lane and even being weaker than other supports later on, a well placed ult still has the potential to just win a fight.

That said she isn't without weakness, if you have a well coordinated team you can totally exploit her tendency to overextend and her first level tends be very weak at supporting, so you ideally pressure her carry hard, force her to pick kiss on lvl2 and then go for the throat, getting an early advantage.
Unfortunately past that you are reliant on rotations to get anything done and if you aren't coordinated like in your average team of randoms you'll still be on the back foot. So just settle for an even lane and hope you can outplay the enemy later.
