It's a known thing that coin gives the most golf generation as well as the fact that there is no incentives for any of the support gold items other than gold. I just can't see why you would pick relic or spellthief after this change.
Final Spark Lux3 votesI think I'll still go spellthiefs because I like the extra damage, but that's actually one of the first concerns I had when I read the changes. Coin was already bad enough when the ardent meta was a thing. People would often skip SS just to rush it. Now they can rush items without skipping SS. I don't think I like where this is going ;_;.
Moonfall Saber2 votesIt's ironic because 99% I don't build a sightstone as a support main. I usually rush face of the mountain and now it's being removed. Now I lose that passive shield and the active shield. This change is mostly going to hurt tank supports because locket does not have cdr meanwhile ardent does

Early cdr as a support is huge.
Final Spark Lux1 votesPersonally, I find it extremely hard to actually not buy sightstone. I'm pretty good at it (if my year in review is any indication, I actually warded more than challengers. Super proud of that because my warding game used to be weak, but I made it a point to work on it everygame) and I've been doing it for so long, that my play style has evolved in such a way that it really requires me to be able to manipulate / control vision. Trinkets just don't cut it anymore.
I would build SS first, but I used to rush FotM after that. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do anymore. I guess I could go back to S3 and rush FH lol x3
Moonfall Saber1 votesAs useful as a sightstone was I found it more useful to be tankier/ deal more damage/ shield heal more for clutch situations. Vision doesn't stop people from ganking if they don't know the ward is there. So these situations are inevitable. However face checking a bush counters that.
Dracocrash1 votesok
Winterwings1 votesYeah, they seriously need to tone down the amount of $$$ that Coin and its respective upgrades chrun out or else the support with the Coin WILL get their quest done first 99% of the time, with Spellthief coming 2nd and Targon's dead last...
Maybe there's a reason for it?... i mean, Coin line's stats are SERIOUSLY lacking in the combat department (CDR is maybe the only Combat useful stat there) and Spellthief only makes you deal more damage, doesn't really help you survive any longer since you're still going to be just as squishy as the guy with the Coin...
Moonfall Saber1 votesWell relic won't be giving a sheild anymore so it's pretty much useless
