sightstone/gold income item rework rant

meowwow7··3 votes·378 views

for those supports that actually do run sightstone or any of it's upgrades my condolences. since we are going to lose quite a bit of power in our gold income for this, but there is one upside possibly, and that's with the laners or junglers using these things every now, and then we will actually have more than 3-7 wards on the map. that also means item 3364, and zombie warding are going to receive an indirect powerspike.

The active and passive on the frost queen line just got deleted and those were genuinely half the fun I got out of playing AP supports. The movespeed passive has literally saved my life when I'm getting chased down by most of the enemy team behind their lines, and ESCAPE. It's amazing for engaging with Morgana or Rakan. Now it's just gonna be gone.

This is one of the worst changes I've ever had to see in a PBE update.

Edit: also tank supports just got seriously nerfed, since they may be locked out of (not-control) wards for upwards of ten minutes if the enemy team can harass them off of minions. Not to mention they won't be able to provide an on-demand shield without building a Locket now

Seriously, as a Sona main Queen's Tribute has gotten me through so many situations, more times than I can count.

Feels like they're just helping the dumb autofilled support players who dont want to play the role anyway. I see no way that this could increase support item diversity when you're REMOVING four unique items and several passives, and giving them all the same Vision active.

Personally if they do rework this. They will lose the rest of their support player base. I know I'll have the name, but I'm 100% going to be looking at learning a new role.

Support can die out like this game honestly...
