What if we split Ardent Censer into 2 different items?
This would be similar to
and
, where, if you chose one, you cannot chose the other unless you sell it.
Since Ardent gives both Healing and Shielding power, we could it split into 2 items: 1 that primarily focuses on healing (increased healing power, and the health drain on hit that Worlds is dealing with), and 1 that primarily focuses on shielding (increased shielding power, and maybe increased movement speed or attack speed?).
Not only would this make it FAR easier to balance Ardent (in my opinion), it also gives power to almost every support in the game instead of a select few. Healers like
and
get their item; shielders like
and
get theirs; and champs like
and
who have both heals and shields have to choose between one or the other, all while no group is overbearing the other. Even supports who aren't focused on healing or shielding, like
and
can jump in on the fun.
Really, the only supports that I see that get no benefit out of a change like that are
,
,
, and all of the high damage, mage "supports".
What do you all think?
