Riot you really need to pay attention to these after you're done with the new rune reforged system

1) Give some love to melee champs. Tbh, currently it feels as if being ranged is not even taken into account in the power budget of ranged champs. 2) Tone down adc's power budget especially either from their kits or from their itemisation whilst shifting power from %healing/shielding to (AP) for supports and get rid of that absurd ardent passive (from a support main). I believe supports are fine as they are, if nerfed too hard then no one will play that role and it'll be back to autofill issues. 3) Introduce more AP itemisation 4) Buff Turrets and BARON. ............................... 5) Lastly buff TEEMo :P

Supports are beyond broken. Riot kept pushing for support buffs over and over again, buffing their kits, itemization, masteries etc etc while subsequently nerfing EVERYTHING else, now we're stuck in a game where support can carry harder than mid laner and top laner combined while being safe in a 2v2 lane so you can't really punish the player or stop him from becoming a monster.

Support itemisation are designed to be strong if your allies are strong and deal good enough dps as you will provide sustain for them and peel. Currently the most effective support itemisation predominantly focuses on keeping your adc alive and if the power budget from adc's is taken away, you are effectively cutting down the power budget of supports. Ardent is a beautiful item for supports because it provides supports with everything they need i.e. AP, %healing/shielding, MS, CDR and that beautiful passive at a cost efficient price.

I think most people are against supports carrying the game and i think that is not fair on supports. The reason riot kept buffing supports was because no one played that role (for obvious reasons) and now that it is somewhat a popular role, you want riot to make them irrelevant again? AP champs suffer because of the lack of itemisation and how easy it is to counter their kits by the vast amount of AD itemisation whereas AP champs can only use item 3157 .

Supports like janna, soraka etc might need some tweaking for how brain dead they are though.

It's fine if supports can carry a game, but it sucks when supports carry HARDER than solo laners who are exposed to a giant risk while support is pretty safe and virtually impossible to shut down. It just takes away a lot of strategy away from the game

Problem is that supports thrive on keeping their allies alive so they'll just be at the very back of the fight, healing and shielding, unless your support is a tank or thresh/blitz etc. The reason i advised to shift support power budget from % healing/shielding to AP is so that they would then have to use that juicy AP to deal damage and this will effectively reduce their healing/shielding power. Now they'll be exposed to more danger but like i said, supports like soraka and janna will be brain dead because of their kits and hard to kill even if you nerf supports. They'll still spam E and W. xD

As long as critical strike exists in this games, ADCs will always be broken.

I next to never have an issue with Ardent Censor..... it doesnt change as much as people over dramatically make it seem like. Yes, att speed boost is nice. Yes, life drain is nice..... but so what? Theres no issue with it. The passive is the least of my worries of why i buy it. I buy it because it improves my healing and shielding. Which is why i also buy Redemption, and occasionally Mikeals.... along with Athena's if im feeling like it.

Lets be honest, every healng support does this. Every shielding support does this. Same as every tank itemizes hp and armor and mr..... every adc itemizes attack speed and damage..... every mage itemizes cdr and ap..... every heal/shield support itemizes cdr and heal/shield items.

You buy what you think is best for the situation, for the champion you are, and if support.... how is the ADC playing? I find redemption a better rush than Ardent half the time especially on Nami because my ADC is already deleting people or is just farming away. So Redemption lets me roam while keeping a heal ready for the ADC.... or i can sit mid and heal too.... i can sit bott and heal mid.... i can reach into enemy jungle..... etc.

Redemption > ardent.
