Ok so I have been thinking about this a lot lately. The support role seems to be a tank roll so many of the other members don't have to. Well The problem with that is that the tank items cost a TON. Well while my team is busy yelling at me to get tanky to run front line. I don't have NEARLY the available gold to do so. So I can't even keep up with the jungle in tankiness if its someone like trundle or Shy. Can we give supports a better way to get gold? Its proven that at the end of the game the support is always THOUSANDS of gold behind and if you don't have the gold. You can't buy items and basically are just nothing to the team. Lets give supports more ways to earn gold. Or more passive gold gain. Something.

The problem isn't inherently that supports don't gain enough gold, personally i think they could use a bit more tho. Its that you are expected to build tanky by some people.

The supports roll is to build for utility for the team, and assist the other team mates in accomplishing there goals. If your carry is being targeted by cc and dove for, you build item 3222 and focus on pealing. If your team needs engage you get item 3800 and hit there caries with your cc.

Sure you can build tanky and soak up a good amount of damage, but that's not the main purpose of a support. Just that the more popular supports seem to already do this. Leona Blitzcrank Braum Thresh Nautilus and they all have an innate way to prevent more damage coming at them, or boost there survive-ability.
