Shurelya's Reverie plea [Please Rioter come and read my request]

Please take the 40 AP out of the item and put another stat on it, no AP mage will value this item and we have a lot of support champions that want this active but don't value AP, or don't even scale with AP. 40 AP has a gold value of 870g I'll list some alternatives below that could maintain the same level of gold efficiency while increasing the viability of thid item, that I believe it's a better alternative for the game.

#DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT ASKING FOR BUFFS OR NERFS TO THE ITEM, I AM JUST STATING THAT A LOT OF CHAMPIONS WOULD LIKE THE ACTIVE BUT THE AP WOULDN'T HELP THEM AND WOULD FEEL A WASTE OF GOLD. MY GOAL IS TO BUST THE VIABILITY OF THE ITEM SINCE I BELIEVE IT CAN BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE GAME.


40 AP = 870g according to league of legends wikia. Therefore I'll use this value as a guideline.


First option:

20 Armor (20 x 20g = 400g) 25 Magic Resist (25 x 18g = 450g) 200 HP 10% CDR

Very simple alternative, just replacing the AP for a little AR an MR to become a diverse item that can fit in any champion and becoming more broad among the support champions. Personally my favorite idea since tank supports will take a hit with the insane nerf to targon's support item line.

Champions that will benefit from this that wouldn't if it remains with AP: Leona, Braum, Alistair, Thresh, Blitz, Taric, Tham Kench, Olaf, Volibear, Rammus, Sejuani, Amumu and Warwick. ( Frontline Champions with limited engage and that can benefit from the extra MS + the active, some of which are struggling in the current meta. )

Second option: 200% HP regen (200 x 3g = 600g) 300 HP (100 x 2.6g = 260g) 10% CDR

More general use item that will help tank supports and champions struggling in the lane phase. Generally a good option as a second item when playing from behind with a scaling champion weak at the early game, examples:

Amumu: First jg item complete but losing to a great early ganker. Can turn the game with a pick or engage ult using this item while remain relatively healthy during trades.

TK: losing lane to a heavy poke comp, can sustain more time and scale after finishing targon's item line and building this version of SR.


This took longer to make than I thought. Now I'm leaving the thread as it is, since I think I have made my point. Almost any stat would be better to the viability of the item instead of AP, that would only cater to a few enchanters like Janna that have proved to be a stable in the game regardless and have way better options itemwise than SR. I beg of you please tweak the item so a great design don't be wasted.


#TL;DR: AP WILL BE LITTE TO NO USE FOR MOST CHAMPIONS DESIRING THE ACTIVE, I AM BEGGING RIOT TO CHANGE FOR A MORE GENERAL STAT THAT COULD BE USEFUL FOR A WIDE RANGED ARRAY OF CHAMPIONS, INCLUDING ENCHANTERS THAT HAVE BETTER OPTIONS FOR AP SUPPORT ITEMS.

item 3800 already filled the Tanky side of speed boosting stats, despite being applied on only the user itself.

its a good item .... AP supports will mainly use it and use the AP its not just an engage item its a disengage item thats why righteous glory is tanky its main use is to engage since you only get speed moving towards enemies shurelyas is just speed in general thats why it has swuishy stats and would be amazing on karma janna lulu any AP support what it should offer though is heal and shield increase passive theres not many options for enchanter supports to build other than the same idol supports :S

i think the last thing Riot wants is giving tank supports more engage potential than they currently have

Even tank supports have applied scaling

This item is not meant solely for ap support. Its for helping immobile mages who are just sitting ducks in teamfights.

This sounds like a great idea!

No. A lot of AP supports and secondary supports (Lux, Brand, etc) will use it. We already keep getting our AP nerfed, we don't need more taken out.

Ap supports arent popular atm. I think they try to bring them back with the ap on a supp item.
