Thoughts from a support <(.-.<)

This will be a post where anyone can talk about ideas they had to make league better or worse or just more comical. As an example this was a comment I made on the Winter Wonder Ori post back on Riot's main page. I got great feedback and I know some of y'all have ideas as well. So post and harshly judge all ideas that aren't mine.

Heya y'all! I was wondering if you guys at Riot could make a button under the ward skins tab that makes every ward you place use a different ward skin that you own. Example: If I had a sightstone the first ward I placed was the Rammus ward skin, next would be the Victorious ward skin, next would be one of the poro ward skins. And we could expand this even more to custom ward sets. Where you can place ward skins you like into a set and it would auto alternate between which ones you place.

Please Riot! -Luv A Support Main

Enable the ability to change ward skins in champ select.
Revamp the support items to make them feel more gold-efficient. I find there's often no need to build stuff like the FQC line, even as a support that lacks CC or scales phenomenally well with AP. Or do to them what you did to the jungler items and have them effect the key support SS: Exhaust.
Stop nerfing Sona. She's been hit hard enough already, and needs a few of those reverted. You already gave us a rework and a rather lackluster visual update (despite her suffering most of the same problems as Morgana), and you still proceed to nerf her into the ground.
Nerf Thresh.
Rework Blitz.
Nerf Support Morgana while buffing Mid Lane Morg. (Or just change Zhonya's to interrupt her ult.)
Bring back the "ward" pings. You even took them off the PBE, ffs. I like the ability to save a few seconds to alert my team there's a ward in that bush or that I'm going to be off warding dragon.
BRING BACK PINK ELIXR! FFS, RIOT, THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING I'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR! IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY BALANCE STEALTH CHAMPS, NERF TEEMO AGAIN, AND NOT HAVE US HAVE TO RELY ON AN EASILY DESTROYED PINK WARD OR A RED TRINKET THAT HAS A COOLDOWN LONGER THAN MOST ULTS! SO WHAT IF THE FULLY UPGRADED RED TRINKET HAS AN ORACLE EFFECT?! IT ONLY LASTS TEN SECONDS, AND AGAINST CHAMPS LIKE TEEMO AND SHACO, THAT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH! HELL, EVEN BRINGING OVER ORACLE'S EXTRACT FROM THE OTHER MODES WOULD SUFFICE!

1)Nerf thresh.

2)Rework the current draft model,make it so that people can trade their "slot" with someone else basically so that you could trade champions even if both people don't have said champions(the way this works is if for example I'm first pick,and the last picks want's to pick something safe and I'm afraid to get countered,I can trade slots with him so that he will be first pick,and I'll be last)

3)Nerf thresh already.

4)Stop balancing around winrates,that is stop being afraid of nerfing a champion with a low winrate or buffing a champion with a high one,did amumu really deserve his nerfs at the start of this season?(It's plain obvious they just used the preseason as an excuse,even if I don't care much for him) Does ashe really not need buffs? It's one thing when the competitive scene or the community see's a champion as problematic(or even the balance team as a game-health problem),It's a completely different thing to nerf a champion out of the blue because some arbitrary number is high(cough sona cough),or refuse to do so(cough lee,thresh,zed cough) because it is low.

5)Fucking nerf thresh already,idiotic shit has dominated for way too long and is overshadowing everyone and their mother at this point.

Thoughts from another support main:

A nice idea would be to implement one more ping, kinda like the green arrow one (x player is on is way) but with a ward on top of it - this would simbolize a player is moving towards that area to ward it. At the same time when the support uses this ping a big, red text should appear on the adc screen that reads "Your support is warding, DON'T FIGHT" - this could even implement a loud sound like the "pentakill" announcement but saying something like "DUDE... are you serious ?! Your support is warding, back off... DON'T FIGHT!". This would prevent the lovely moments when the support pings he is going to ward and does so and the adc decides to fight 1vs2 and ends up dying. Also, if after the support uses this ping the adc still fights 1vs2 and dies and on top of that blames the support there should be the possibility of removing the player from League of Legends for ever - at the click of a button.

Anyways, support rage aside now: I don't really buy or own ward skins so to me it wouldn't make a difference. At the same I can only approve this since you have the option to buy lots of ward skins and only use one at some point - doesn't make sense. +1 for the idea.

I'm a support and I love ward skins,(and I love warding) But I just don't have a way to pay for rp. :(

I like it, but it may be weird when your teammates have to determine who placed what at a glance.

create new upgrades of SS, other than just health. most (If not all) supports rush Sightstone and change the trinkets into oracle. now if you made SS upgrades into more supportish item, other than more health, it would be super great, like maybe after every couple placements of wards, you get a Free pink ward. or keeps passively giving gold.

or have couple of colors of SS, that further effects the exhausts, sorta like smite. Requirtment of upgrading Exhaust would be needing a SS, and atleast 1 support item, Either Ancient Coin(makes Exhaust more Glowish Yellow), Spell thief Edge(Glowish Blue), Relic Shield (Glowish Green)

Exhausting an enemy champion while having an Ancient Coin ,or any of it's upgrades) and having SS. instantly Reduces the Cooldowns of you and your closest alley by 2 seconds.

having any upgrades of spell edge thief and SS, casting Exhaust on an enemy Champion would slow the AS of Minions and Towers on Radius Around The Targetted Enemy Champions for 1-1.5 Seconds.

having the Relic Shield or any of it's upgradements along side with SS, Casting Exhaust on an Enemy Champions Draws aggro From all minions and Towers.

just some wild ideas, gotta think outside of the box guys, and creating new solutions.
