So 8.12 hits: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-812-notes

Athene's is given compensation buffs to survive the Forbidden Idol item nerfs

Fast forward to patch 8.24b: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-824b-notes

All the Forbidden Idol items are reverted to their previous strength, and Athene's gets no compensation nerfs. So now the item is busted. We're talking almost 55-60% w/r first complete item on some supports:

https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Soraka/Support/ 58% https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Sona/Support/ 55% https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Janna/Support/ 57%

And raises the winrate of pretty much all other enchanter support picks

This item needs to be stopped Riot, pls revert the buffs it was given back in 8.12. this item is a clear example of powercreep and should be nerfed

Let healing support players have one item that feels impactful when they build it xD

They already have some of the most impactful items in the game available to them?

item 3222 item 3107 item 2065 item 3504

The only issue enchanters have is farming frostfang gold and picking the right champion for the team comps

And if a matchup is too hard to get Frostfang gold in without getting trashed, you can just start item 3301 and not interact with the lane

It feels like nothing when the enemy builds IE and you heals feel like a feather in the way of a hurricane.
