The Reworked Support Starter Items

Soooo, I like them, kinda, but I just have a few problems with them. The first is that it takes to long to finish the quest, with both Ancient Coin and Spellthief's Edge, I've played 2 Janna games today with Ancient Coin, 1 game as Zyra with Spellthief's Edge, as first item and in all of them I still hadn't finished the quest until around 25 minutes into the game. Another problem is that with Ancient Coin the gold and mana doesn't drop enough, honestly, with Ancient Coin no longer giving mana regeneration I'm super dependent on minions dropping a mana coin upon death. Final issue with Ancient Coin, the pick up range makes it dangerous for exactly the kind of supports the item is made for, squishy Enchanters. It's either get the coin and risk losing a quarter of your health, even more so if the enemy has a poke support like Zyra or Karma, or just not get it and wait till another minion closer by drops a coin.

The easiest way to fix all this would be to simply increase pick up range of coins for Ancient Coin, and decrease the amount of gold needed to finish the quest to 550 gold or at the very least 600 gold.

This is kind of its own separate issue, but with Ancient Coin no longer passively giving mana regeneration, could you possibly decrease Janna's mana costs on her Q and E. Her Q has a starting mana cost of 90 and increases by 15 mana at each rank ending at 150 mana at rank 5, which is a lot of mana considering on supports like Janna you build mostly mana regeneration instead of actual mana. Not to mention any good Janna main finishes leveling up their Q last. With her E, while I do understand its high cost considering its great buff, but even then it's still a little to high now, maybe just decrease it by 5 mana at each rank.

I totally agree with you, tbh, but I doubt Riot will revert the changes so I just came up with ideas to improve their rather crappy one.

The relic shield thing sucks because finishing your quest depends on whether or not your adc understands why youre pinging minions.

Spoiler alert: They often don't.
