infinitely scaling AP gain mastery for supports?

Valderis Vandala·Oct 18, 2015·3 votes·383 views

I see a lot of complains about supports lacking good AP items.

Perhaps this problem can be solved by giving the support tree a mastery that gives a permanent AP boost every time an ally kills a nearby lane minion/monster/enemy champion? (kinda like the gold gain mastery)

You can prevent mid-lanes from taking it by rooting it deep into the support tree and maybe disabling it for a few seconds if you kill a minion yourself.

Depending on the ratio of gained AP supports either don't have to worry about AP builds or can make up for the lackluster AP on support items.

I hope it's not a crazy OP idea, good luck with it.

Sounds op. Especially at pro level where they are good at cs. Plus this only helps ap supports no one else.

I'm not a fan of OP's idea, but AP supports are the one that need help. Tank supports are more than fine atm.

Yeah but my point is adding a mastery for ap only would be unfair and skew the tree heavily, non ap sups would need a fair option their way.

Items are key to helping ap sups IMO, not masteries.

Ya this would leave ad supports in the dust...not that there's a lot of em but still...I do think that would help to solve some of the issue of supports who only build damage and no support items though

It'd have to be deep enough in the utility tree (possibly the final mastery) that mage supports would have to sacrifice a lot in order to get it, I guess.
