I just had a game where BOTH ADCs disconnected, and BOTH supports can't farm, thanks to item changes

Good job on the support item changes, Rito! Really makes me so excited to play support! Oh wait, actually not. https://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/4290077976/2159989767656256?tab=overview Just had a game when both my ADC and the enemy ADC disconnected. Normally, me Senna and the enemy Brand would just take the farm instead of our ADCs, who disconnected. But not with the absolutely HORSESH1T support items that you just gave us, Rito! After a couple of waves, we get a minion gold debuff that fkes us up really hard. I decided to just sell my support item, leaving my team without vision, and the enemy Brand decided to keep it and leave himself without gold. You can see the result.

The thing is, I get these kind of games really often. My ADC either disconnects, or AFK at base, or dead/back to base all the time, and in such cases, I absolutely HAVE to farm. It's not like i'm stealing anyone's farm, it's like if I don't take it, nobody will. It's absolutely unacceptable to have these support items that just force us to sell them, that don't give you any gold after the first 1000 anyway, and have sh1t stats on top of that.

Thank you.

No one forces you to keep the items.

The game isn't balanced around disconnections.

both my ADC and the enemy ADC disconnected.

THAT is what shouldn't have happened. The item is just fine. You can't balance an item around things happening out of the game boundaries. That requires another approach to target the specific game rules that were broken.
