Tank support cost creep

StoryDuck··1 votes·335 views

Is it just me or have tank support items started to creep up in cost? Looking through the options for tank supports all of them are 100-400 gold more expensive then enchanter support items. I'd gladly give up a few stats to be able to buy these items a bit sooner as a support player.

I haven't crunched numbers, but I certainly do feel like I shouldn't play tank support anymore. It takes me far too long to actually become a tank.

That's been my feeling too. It takes too long to get that first item let alone second item. There is no tank support item that costs 2100. the cheapest is 2200 and only two cost that with one requiring bonus health and the other a niche item that you would never purchase first. Yet enchanter support type champions have item 3107 item 3174 item 3222 that all cost 2100.

You do realize tanks has a wide range of items to pick while Enchantress support has only 4 right??? item 3504 item 3174 item 3222 item 3107 Not only that two of the items counter each other, in which Mikel loses its passive and the heal on athenes is pretty much not useful as the heal from the ardent sensor is a better version of it.

Sejuani id the only tank I've been playing as support lately.

Frost Armor helps to feel tanky at every point in the game when it's up.

I can't say I have had many problems except that it feels a lot harder to come back into the game once I fall behind as a tank support. Going even or ahead it all feels great but I just can't shake the feeling that something is really off when I fall behind with a Taric or Leona versus falling behind as a Janna or a Lulu. It might just all be in my head but when I was looking at the various items I noticed the price discrepancy and was wondering what others thought.

Hmm, I get so many kills as Sion support, I haven´t really noticed.
