@Riot Free idea about making support the most fun role in league

Make a bunch of items that only cost like 1000-1500 gold. they have very few stats but they have SUPER fucking cool active abilities.

Examples:

  1. Scroll of badassary: 50% health regen, 100 mana and an active that is basically ryze's ultimate

  2. Ring of Badassary: 51% health regen, 99 mana and an active that is basically bard's Magical Journey.

  3. Hood of Etc.: 52% etc., 99 etc. and an active effect that is basically etc.

  4. Staff of desicration: 10 AP, 25% health regen, 150 mana, and an active effect that is basically nunu ultimate with the range of a ziggs ultimate but it does 0 damage.

The result is you give supports a ton of SUPER fun and SUPER powerful items that they can easily afford that no one else will want to buy because they don't give any AD, AP, Health, Armor or Magic resist stats.

So basically, champions that need to scale with damage or tankiness will not be able to afford to waste over a thousand gold and a precious item slot on something that does not make then tankier or do more damage.

The keys here: low stats, low cost, super cool actives.

Even if other roles do deside to buy these it will be at a cost of less damage later on, ultimately more expensive since this item will eventually be sold for something with more stats but it could be a super cool strategy that on this one champion first back getting this one item for the active effect is really good because even though it doesn’t increase your numbers, it helps you use your numbers more effectively or reliably which indirectly makes you more powerful. This is cool and really fun sounding. It’s exciting for everyone, especially supports.

NO. Stop reducing the role to a bunch of items already. That's just doubling down on the Locket problem.

Supports need better stats, not worse ones.

Instead it should be a mimic item that copies an ability of an ally but does no damage , imagine 5 nami ults doing no damage at all
