@Meddler, how about an objective buff meant for supports?

Meddler, I was just wondering if it'd be possible for riot to add some kind of objective that gives a buff that would mainly interest supports? Maybe it could give the support that gets it some kind of relevant bonus like bonus heal and shield power, boosts active cool down, buffs ward vision or trinket CD, etc...

Since supports are supposed to be the most team-oriented member along with the jungler, maybe it'd be good to give them an objective to fight over. Perhaps something where they leave lane with the jungler to get something in the river.

As for placement, maybe make it a little critter that runs away just before the dragon spawns or respawns. Teams that get to the dragon early will have something to do and have a little reward for securing the area early.

Scuttler kills could refresh the sightstone until next dragon?

I'd be fine with that.

I'd like if Scuttler kills refreshed your Sightstone every time you killed one or assisted in killing one. This would make it great for supports, even when roaming in late game so that you can get kill the Scuttlers and have wards to protect the Elder or Baron.

Why not go a little further than that? GP10 items cause your attacks to deal %hp damage to scuttle, so that you can take it without worrying about someone having higher DPS than you coming along and last hitting it?

Well, how about switching it over to the "Eye of the ..." items? That would make them more unique options, giving them something over the Face/FQC/Talisman + Ruby Sightstone, and give a bit more incentive to combining the Sightstone. It would diversify build paths for support items a little bit, the trade off being the loss of the great actives on the final gold items versus the perk of having a way to refresh the Eyes in the field. It would add more flexibility too - do you need the shielding on a tanky team, or is vision a problem and you need a way to constantly refresh it?

It might come at a cost to the eye items' cost-efficiency, which is what they have over Face/FQC/Talisman+Sightstone.

Right now, Eye items straight-up offer more stats for their price in every category, including AP. Eye items let you build other items quicker, including offensive items. By comparison, the only things Face/FQC/Talisman offer are their actives and Ruby Sightstone's passive. Screwing over the efficiency of eye items may make the choice less clear-cut.

Yeah, I think if scuttler gave you a sightstone buff until the next scuttler spawned would make it more valuable to roam.
