Locket is still an amazing item and I get it on almost every support

I've noticed a lot of people not getting it after the nerfs to the aura.

The active gives every member of your team a 200-300 health shield, it's like a rank 5 Janna shield on every single member of your team. Usually at least 2-3 members lose the shield by the time it goes down, resulting in essentially 600 health shielded. The health and magic resist alone make it almost as good as a banshee's veil, add on a shield and an aura and it's a must have unless the enemy team is 5 ad.

Banshee's has the ability to block an ult/stun and has more than double the MR of Locket. It's exceptionally noteworthy against champions like Annie, Blitz, Thresh, or anyone with a game-changing move. I'm not saying Locket isn't worth getting against some teams, especially as a support, but there are solid reasons as to why people prefer Banshee's.

Why would you opt for Banshee's when your job as a support is to invest in items to help your team. Sure, the stats on Banshee's are a lot better, but it seems kinda selfish to take that over a Locket if you are a support.

When did I say supports should get Banshee's over Locket? I said Locket is a good, especially for support. I just listed reasons as to why people would get Banshee's over Locket.

But this whole thread was based on using it on supports.

The thing just isn't worth it on every support anymore. It used to be but it isn't now... which is a good thing. The aura lost 1/3 of its potency and the active lost a lot of its generalist "press this button to effectively give everyone more health" into one that's used more against immediately-incoming damage.
