Idea for Support item change. Long post but it's worth reading
Support's have always been the first/second most money hungry role to play in the game. Trinkets have taken a little stress off but a support still has to keep the ADC safe/feed preventing a good source of income if the adc has not been getting kill's. Worst if they proceed to kill before a support has done anything which would give them a support kill. My own expertise in this came from attempting to never last hit when ever possible. Leaving me with almost no gold when backing and little clue on what to build next due to lack of coin. Resulting in me getting easier and easier to kill.
Riot to has been buffing/making items which could only help Supports out more. The big problem I see is supports themselves have to a lot of milestones to overcome before they can even start building any real items.
First in my idea is be to remove
all from the item shop. The reason for this is because Each of those item's is 100% un-gold efficient. In my view the only good one Is relic shield because it provides some benefit on some champs. The others are Un gold efficient because with at no time doe they ever grant enough gold to even build the first starting time let alone the next to. Reading between the lines you might already see my idea.
The three starter items intrudes in season 4
would remain and cost increased 50 gold. However each would be given a new passive called Rewards of effect. Rewards of effect would allow all three items to evolve over time. It would run along the same lines as
become
, or
becoming
. Each item would transform based on their origin effect so when a champ with
has given "300 gold" it would then transform into
and so on. Should a player decide to sell the time They would only receive the amount of the origin item.
This idea would allow different supports controlled/predicable power spikes while freeing up a great deal pressure without becoming scary OP. With the natural passives already built into the items it would be nearly impossible for the effects to be abused by any of the other lanes. Relic's would the only one Maybe possible to abuse if a ADC decided to take it alone with the support but they would be delaying their own first power spike not taking a AD item first.
to happen.
for example. (Seeing as she was the last T.T, band wagon.)
Having only invest 365 gold into a single item she will be able to concentrate on supply vision or planning how she will build herself. Along with this the enemy will know what to expect from the Sona.
. So they could put more pressure on her and her ADC early/all game. Do to her Q wont be able to poke as hard and her W and E will have less effect over all.
