I like the changes for Midseason, but why are there no changes to Redemption?

So far I think the changes are good, especially the changes to the support-starting Items. But we need changes to the Enchanter-Itemisation. Redenmption and Locket in every game is so boring, and you also have to take it on champs that don't like the stats.

I hoped they would make changes to Redemption & Locket or the other Enchanter-Items.

EDIT: still no changes on the pbe

I actually love locket and redemption :x I love being able to help keep my team safe and have stuff to soak up tons of damage for them. It only feels 'bad' if your team as a whole is really behind or something and the items might not get that much use out of them or something.

I know right now some supports are taking it when they don't get the whole benefit of it the same way other supports might (eg it's probably a lot stronger on say, Soraka than Leona) but I think when the tank items roll out there might be more wiggle room for them or something, since I feel like there will be more support changes incoming.

But for the meantime, I feel the heal really nice - especially on champs that don't have one in their kit (Karma, Leona, Lulu technically). I don't felt pressured to buy it on supports like Zyra, so I don't really feel too pressured to take it on champs that don't like the stats.

They only talked about items they're reworking. For all you know they are going to nerf Redemption/Locket and just didn't announce it, because they have no reason to announce minor balance changes?
