supports and the preseason changes
I have to say, I'm kind of... impressed? Maybe pleased is the better word.
- support masteries not only allow for utility, but the point system also allows room for extra offense on the more ability/poke oriented supports
- support items have a bit better feel in terms of general usage and cost
- I actually bought
and didn't just sell
/
. I actually used it and liked it. The 150% regen was great. The new active is super useful and provides more utility. Waaaaaaaay better than the last version. - the increased mana regen for some champs is a plus
- the Meditation mastery feels more useful even though it's about the same effectiveness as before (probably due to actually being able to SEE the mana gained)
- New Intelligence mastery lets you break the CDR cap. Hell yes.
- Windspeakers blessing is a pretty good mastery to pick up for healer/utility supports, especially late game since it's 10% of your shield/heal's value.
I haven't gotten to use some of the other support items like the new Eye items, but I really like the trade off between slot space and efficiency.
