Can Riot stop Nerfing the Support role just because other lanes make use of our toys?
Nasus build a Coin. AP Junglers build spelltheif. Marksmans built Relic.
And Supports got nerfed because of it. you have my sarcastic thanks as a support main. i admit, i dreamed of the day where you removed Sightstone, but this fix you put in it's place is just silly!
where is my nice 300 HP shield when i play a tank support? where is my movement speed to position myself or my team during a fight? where is the Active item CDR that i started enjoying to play with the new runes? how about spooky ghosts, HP scaling shields, and shurelia's actives?
you say you're gonna make new items with those actives, but they'll probably be expensive and used by every other role anyway, so what difference did this make to anyone but the actual support role.? it made it more boring and it tied vision to the current support snowball mechanic of quests.
sure, i get to spend gold on something other than sightstone in the early game, but i could already do that. so no difference at all.
you have GOT to stop nerfing the support role just because other roles use our toys. when Taric goes top lane, let him. when Lulu goes top or mid, let her. when someone builds our items, let them. you keep nerfing support and driving more and more people away from what is already a dead role. The popularity of the role speaks for itself. you have the stats so look at them. stop nerfing supports.
