Better ideas for preventing support item abuse?

A lot of people are concerned about ADCs and the occasional jungler/laner abusing support items. At the same time, many people are upset with the proposed support item changes that Riot is implementing to help prevent this. I just wanted to open up a discussion about better ways to approach support item abuse.

For example, one idea I had was for support items to be gated by minion/monster kills. Similar to spellthief, what if all the item passives, including ambient gold, were disabled for a time following a minion or monster kill? That way junglers and laners would not be getting anything besides some minimal stats if they are actively farming.

I'm curious to see what ideas the community has or if people are actually looking forward to the support item changes.

Dagger reduces jungle gold and exp by 50%, targon healing depends on bonus health, champions that should use it start with bonus health from runes already, coin disables gold gen from last hiting minions.

Sightstone in the supp item, quests still on the supp item apart from the sightstone quest and old actives as new items with decent stats centered around strategies (reworked actives), thats the best imo.
