Ranged tank support item

The Bearded Bard··2 votes·276 views

Anyone else want a ranged tank support item? I think it'd really open up the role of support to a more versatile pool, and it'd help out ranged supports like Bard or Lulu that might want to opt out of spellthief's for a tankier option.

Do ranged need a tanky option that keeps them viable? They already have the safety of ranged. Why do they also need the luxury of being durable?

Because getting in range of an ADC as a squishy support often means death for you. I'd rather build Bard full tank than what I build now which is FQC then full tank.

Bard has tools to keep the ADC out of range already.

Not really. His Q is about adc auto range.

I don't see a need for it. If you want to go tanky, just get Relic Shield or Ancient Coin. I will acknowledge that if I just laned Bard v Bard supports, I build spell theifs, the other Bard build Ancient Coin. We managed to steamroll the lane quicker through getting a couple picks but I don't attribute that to the support item since I hadn't yet finished FQC and didn't have the active.
