Still don't think that the sightstone update was enough
People were complaining. Vision is extremely valuable. Sight-stone was the only real vision item, and it costs 800 gold, Gold that Adc's, mid-laners, and top laners couldn't afford. Thus the role of buying a sight-stone fell to support. Because of sightstone's stats, this made tank supports the only viable support, since Sight stone gives 400 health it would be great to pair with a naturally tanky support (Like Leona) or supports that scale off of health (braum, Nautilus)
So they made this update to sight-stone that allows sight-stone to be combined with a tier 2 gold income item and do nothing special but combine the effects. I don't think that this is a proper solution.
AP supp's STILL have to buy sight-stone, an 800 gold item, in order to provide vision for the team, and it doesn't even provide stats that help them. And now they can combine it with their gold income item and be "slot efficient" which is silly in my opinion cause as a supp you are lucky to reach full build WITHOUT combining sight-stone with your gold income, so slot efficiency is not that important to a supp. You still have to save up 800 gold for an item that will not give you any valuable stats as an AP supp. Wow, 400 health. Like that's going to really prevent me from being shredded the moment I get caught out.
Instead of making Sight-stone combinable with a gold-income item, they should have made OTHER sightstones, one that gives you lets say, 40 AP and 10% CDR, another that grants you 30 AR and MR, one that gives you 10% MS (for wondering supports, but also useful for jugnlers)
