Changing the gold items was the best way and is a small buff to most supports.

Like too everyone complaining did you even do the math since here is the math so on spellthief's the gold went up one on the base and two on the upgrades now that means if you only have the base spellthief's it takes 50 procs to gets wards with after the hotfix it takes 46 procs and if you upgrade it gets bettter why does this matter because it shows you that you go even to the old and was buffed for some since you would only get one or two procs when your adc is away so the changes makes up for it.

The next option people keep saying was nerf kleptomancy well that just creates more problems since one it still leaves gold items to be abused in the future if something comes up and two why nerf a rune that is already not that great since all that does is kill the rune all together.

Again can you people stop complaining about the changes and actually think about it since 95% of time the support will be near a adc or another champion.
