An addition for support players who runs Face of The Moutain.

I'm not a main supporter, but I know they need golds too. item 3302,item 3097,and item 3401 are commonly used by melee support champs and Thresh. Players usually let their supporters to proc the passive while laning phase, but then forgets about it when it's mid or late game. So I thought why don't we add something into the game and remind our teammates that supporters need golds too. Here are my solutions for it: http://imgur.com/uOM5Mls Adding a sign and target on minion that the support wants to proc on like Kalista W's passive by double left click since the game is lacking the use of left click. To avoid spamming, we might need to limit the sign by how many blue balls the support has. In some cases, the support about to have it up and wants to proc it, but teammates don't check it anyway. Then we might need to add some animation, like a line goes around the champion and create the blue ball maybe, 5 seconds before the blue ball comes up.

We could make it even more intressting:

  • Auto smart marking:
    • Marks nearby cannon minions when stacks are available
    • Marks nearby minions in execute range when stacks are available
  • The marking:
    • Blue: When your next auto won't execute the minion
    • Green: When your next auto will execute the minion (we can start with melee support, later maybe implemenent range support as well)

It would likely work better for an indicator to pop up that all allies can see, showing that a minion can be killed with item 3401's passive, kind of like garens villain indicator. I believe enough people know how face of the mountain works now to know what happens when a champ gets a kill with it equipped. Though one big problem late game is that there are so many AOE items like item 3085, item 3074, item 3087 and item 3285 that people just wind up killing all the minions in some sort of farming frenzy, so to speak.

2 much werk 4 rito spaghetti code.

I'd say to make this target selection the Active effect for Relic Shield and Targon's.

Not so much needed for Face of the Mountain because you're already at a point in the game that you probably can't get off your stacks anyway due to Marksmen 1-shot minions on crits, or spellcasters just clearing whole waves at once.

I sigh everytime the marksman doesn't let me proc the relic on cannon minions. On the other side, I always forget that Thresh procs it and get really mad when he gets minions.

Playing Braum mid-game is so frustrating, I instakill caster creeps (I'm content with those), but guess who else does - everybody else.

Makes me ult an entire wave.

Why not just make it mark a target minion and if the minion is killed by an allied champion then a stack is consumed and the gold is shared with the support (however to get the healing the support need to kill the minion personally)

Melee only maybe? Or not?

This is a really cool idea, and I see no reason why we shouldn't implement this!

I always get item 3301 on Thresh, it's really weird to gauge just how much it takes for the proc to come up and it tends to fuck up. Besides, I like item 3069 overall, I like the speed boost, helps with split-pushing.

Here I was getting all excited for Jax support ... ha ha ... yes, sounds good! Make it so, Rito.

lol please don't. Then more thresh players will fuck up my cs. "o o let me get this one!" -misses cannon minion-

...Fuck you

Why not just have it automatically highlight the highest value nearby minion as long as a charge is available? Half the time, I end up laning with someone who either doesn't know what Relic Shield does, or doesn't care, and won't let me use it. Not sure this would do anything about that anyway.
