Support Starting Item Rework
It was a Rioter, probably Meddler (I forget who), that spit balled out an on-the-whim thought of "What if supports scaled with another stat that isn't gold?"
There will be 4 choices rather than 3, two for the mages and two for the tanks. Rather than farm for gold they farm for a stat, the tank items grant bonus health and the mage items grant bonus ability power, with some bonus exp thrown in for being behind in levels (catch up exp passive). These items have the same rules as they do now, can only buy one, this can allow for some items to be cheaper like the Sightstones for example since supports will be getting even less gold.
Remember this is a rough concept!
