Being a support main feels really bad now =(

I'm a support main and have been playing Yuumi a TON the 2019 season. After playing a few games on the new patch it's really not leaving me wanting to play next season if these changes go live. The changes to Presence of Mind for example. That was a pretty big rune for Yuumi (I'm sure some other champs too). Now it's based on IF a Cloud drake spawns, and IF your team gets it, and IF you were running Presence of Mind it would be too strong. On top of this supports are losing 10% CDR (and bonus damage) on the Frostfang item, and no longer continue to earn bonus gold their items completes. The support role just kind of ends there.

I've played the game since Season 2 and only stopped playing once because of changes (Looking at you Janna/Lulu with Ardent Censor) and I REALLY hope Riot listens to the community about the Elder being an absolute kill joy and not fun or interesting, and other items like those I listed above. Just my thoughts on how the game feels for a support now.

Are we playing the same game ?

The new support items are buffing ALL Supports right now.

They save supports 1100g and they now give 3g per 5s later instead of 2g. So basically supports get ALOT more gold very early on in the game. That's more gold for Senna to spend on AD items which tend to cost more than support stuff.

The new AP support item also give 60 AP instead of 35 AP.

If anything, AP supports are going to be hit by the nerf bat instead of nerfing the items.

I'm fine with the support changes for the most part. The only thing I'd revert is the healing effect from Spoils of War. Spelltheif's users were flat out just too good and needed a good punch in the gut with a few exceptions.

All the base MP regen nerfs Sona ate as a direct result of Spellthief being broken should be re-evaluated now that Spelltheif's doesn't give mana regen. There are others too, but that one most comes to mind.

I jumped ship, good news is that swain is viable bot lane so I get to keep playing my favourite champ in my favourite lane with just a little bit of restrategizing

You being a support main has nothing to do with your thought towards presence of mind changes. Hell, good Yuumis don't even run precision
