Question about the aftershock changes

While I think that everyone can agree that it is a good idea to make them more preferable for people actively building armor/mr, as opposed to using it to be immovable from lane ( Lissandra ) how is this going to effect support tanks who dont have the gold income necessary to build a bunch of bonus armor/mr, but rely on having the bonus resists to not get blown up immediately during a skirmish? aka Blitzcrank Leona Nautilus Alistar and sometimes Rakan

because aftershock is mainly used by support tanks and a couple of jungle tanks Sejuani Amumu whereas most laning tanks take grasp for trading

"gold income necessary" Supports literally the richest role in the game, specially in S10, as for AS. Its already a broken keystone it negates damage and ALOT of it.. we're probably gonna enter semi tank meta.

They are buffing support gold income support items so supports dont have to use gold to upgrade their support item to finish it. So hopefully it'll be fine, but if it's not its gonna be on PBE for 4 weeks.

Oh no worries... this is part of the intention. Nerf supports into the ground even further to make sure that no one wants to queue for support. Soon enough the game will exist as Top/Mid queues with the other three roles being auto-filled because Riot wants to make them all three useless.
