Giving Sightstone Diverse Build Paths
I've recently been delving more into the Support role and have found some nuances that I like and dislike, one of which I'd like to address in this post. I liked that Riot gave supports dedicated items such as
,
, and
so that they may play a style that best suits them. But rather than rushing to finish these support items, I feel like it is more important to get the 800g to complete a
first. Afterwards I'm free to build situationally. I'll be honest, completing
, followed by
, feels extremely unsatisfying. Which is why I propose that there be different build paths from
. Also with the recent jungle item changes and enchantments that still branch from
, I feel that Riot has an opportunity to do something similar with
. And this would not simply mean more item diversity to supports. Proper build paths from
could make it viable for other champions in other lanes. Besides, no one would be opposed to more vision if the item also provides other useful stats.
Here are some ideas. Feel free to criticize (constructively) and critique, or throw out your own ideas in the comments.

This will be the new Ruby Sighstone.
For tanky supports, this would be quite the investment but having extra health and armor and magic resist would make it feel more satisfying.

+ ~300g = Sapphire Sighstone
For Mana hungry supports, this could be an alternative to
,
, and
.

+ ~400g = All Seeing Codex
Some nice AP and CDR for supports who want to be more aggressive with magic damage.

An option for AD aggressive supports.
Some build ideas may not be well thought out and can be better refined but I feel like the gist of what I'm trying to communicate is on here.
