Twisted Treeline and Support Items

Twisted Treeline often receives little love because of the smaller playerbase, but for those who do play it, Normal or 3v3 Flex, will possibly understand the issue here.

A commonplace meta in 3v3 is to have a a hypercarry coupled with a sandbag champion who remains relevant with utility, which between them, dip between jungle and a lane to powerfarm the hypercarry to far faster powerspikes. Riot recently try to curb this with XP changes at bigger level discrepancies in a recent patch, but the strategy is still effective. Now, its a legitimate strategy, having been part of it and against it, I still feel like more should be done to curb this style of play.

To help slow down the effectiveness of this strategy/meta, I feel like the removal of support items in Twisted Treeline, which are rarely utilized outside this strategy either way. It would also help stabilise a 1/1/1 meta in Twisted Treeline and probably help overall game health a considerable amount in this queue.

If you have any thoughts of this matter, please don't hesitate to add them, thank you :)

I like having the support meta there, makes it more interesting to go against different strategies IMO.
