Patch 6.13 - Top Lane I mean Supports

I'm really pleased that Riot gave us 2 paragraphs of writing instead of anything meaningful for supports. Tahm Kench was really the only issue with Support, so glad that got cleared up I've been holding my breath! Also like how they started out by saying "Support isn't weak everything's fine"....except Tahm Kench I guess. Ward level ups! Wow I can't wait to play Support now, everyone will know what a great job I've done. Oh and then saying this is a patch for supports and then going on to explain in length how you're fixing top lane atmosphere. Grand job, Riot. Beautifully executed. Turret couldn't have done it any better.

I think you're focusing too much on the ward leveling up element which I agree is B.S. I actually think the Ancient Coin change is HUGE: (1) Supports who want the speed boost are often those who want to be in the middle of an engage and need the armor; (2) It allows tanks to pick this item and not have to worry about teammates letting them execute minions; and (3) You get CDR earlier.

The changes to Relic Shield make sense. The other Support item changes make sense. And Supports will now level up quicker and be more relevant.

I'm not sure what you were expecting? I personally was hoping for a little more of an EXP boost but Riot is limited because the game doesn't necessarily "know" someone is a support - an item made for supports could be abused by other laners (like Frostqueen's Claim was before it got nerfed).
