Supports aren't supporting, driving me nuts.

Hey there, Onwodori here.

Currently, in about 50% or more of my games, our 'support' will not be doing their job.

They will not buy support items. They will not buy sight stones. They'll be an Illaoi and rush a black cleaver or a caster like Brand or Syndra and go straight to damage items. That's FINE, but buy the other two first.

I don't know if you need to add incentive to buying a sightstone or if the game is just in pieces right now. Additionally, midlaners are rushing frost queens claim -- it's wayyy too strong and feeds into the 'Oh I'm supporting I have a frost queens claim' but no sightstone.

Ugh. I need a shower for this nonsense.

Idk about Illaoi but mages gone supports are better off building AP than straight up utility and being useless with their spells.

Not having Sightstone is debatable since item 3363 + item 2043 seem to be a viable option as well (I mean, if a master tier Janna main uses it, it can't entirely suck balls).

If you want your support played in a specific way, play it.

There was never an incentive to be a support other than be the team's blamesheep Its easier to play sightstoneless support when the enemy support doesnt have sightstone either
