As a support player, what happened to my starting build choices?

I used to be able to choose between buying:

  1. 3 item 2003 for highest lane sustain.
  2. A item 1006 or a item 1004 and 25 item 3400 for higher risk, higher reward in completion of items.
  3. A item 2055 and a item 2003 to gain an early tracking advantage and a potion to survive a bit in lane.
  4. A item 2031 great for lane sustain and saving money.

Why the +50 gold buff on support items? As a support main this is a pretty steep blow to the options we can do early. Now I'm pretty much forced into 2 health potions or a control ward and +25 gold.

Blame the people who say Support role is overpowered

Support still has too much agency in the game. Hope their items will become more expensive or give less stats

To make poke supports even more obnoxious to deal with and invalidate tanks even more.
