Nobody mentions how support items are cheap to begin with

The gold value isn't in line with its actual value meaning compared to a regular item like item 3672 boots which it's value would just be extra movement speed so you have only slight advantages in situations that can occur that you can imagine more clutch escapes , poke management, faster rotations, etc.

Only slightly more situational power but is worth its value in gold.

item 3153 <--- Value would be a champion power spike , extra damage stats , and lifesteal. Now you have the ability to kill with more opportunity available. Worth it's value in gold.

item 3107 <--- Value being bonus HP which adds survivability, extra mana / HP regen, CDR, an unique passive and a unique active. Its active has enough situational value and power to play on par with items that have more than 33.33% gold value than it. Even countering them completely at times. This comes from masteries stacking with the base kits of support champions.

Redemption alongside other support items with similar situational power value should have there cost increased. Supports are given access to too much situational power too early in the game.

Supports are always underlevel and undergolded too.

Trust me I would love to build item 3193 item 3065 etc, but they take forever before you can actually tank. Plus you have to dely your items for SS and other things.

Don't you love being level 10 to the top lane level 16? I am sure I can peel for my level 12 adc to win this.

oh plz supports are having an AMAZING time being brainless in this meta. They are having the time of their fucking lives, support player reaching rank 1. Like seriously, people are switching roles to become a support/adc main because its just so FREE right now

I'm pretty sure it's just enchanter items The tank support items are cheap, but you need some core tank items in your build now (item 3110 item 3143 item 3065 to name a few) to scale as a tank. Support tank items are also usually around the ~2600 price range, versus the ~2100 of enchanter items. Poke support items are also non-existent unless you count Rylai's, Liandry's, and Void Staff, which make them the most expensive support class.

i dont get why are you even thinking about it, like supports dont cs ? i still remember late games where everyone had their full items and I was like fishing for the last 2. dunno how is it now with coin cuz theres no late game lol. but still coin doesnt make you as much as farming obviously.
