[@ Riot] Is Rylai's a support item?

For some mages, this item provides too much utility in addition to combat effectiveness. This makes me think that perhaps the problem with Rylai's is it has to much emphasis on damage. Instead of nerfing the slow or increasing the cost, have you considered significantly reducing the AP and dropping the cost? Perhaps it would function better as a supportish item in the 2500g range. Mages could still buy it but would have to sacrifice damage for the slow.

This is all very selfish of course. I am a support main who loves to play non-traditional supports and Rylai's helps me add some extra utility to otherwise lacking kits.

anything is a support item if you're brave enough

It just costs too much for a support lane. It's not meant to be a support item in the first place. It's for mages. There's no point or reason to change it like that.

I would actually like this a lot. Cut the AP and the cost. I like to get it every game on Annie, so if it were cheaper for less AP, I could get my CC more quickly and move on to other items.

but first, make Azir's soldiers use the reduced slow
