Can we revert to support items executing minions even once the final stage is finished??

I play mainly support, Silver 1/2 and I noticed that now the shields for tank support stop executing minions once you fulfill the quest of the 1k gold generated which makes it really hard to keep on generating gold as a support. I'm not saying that before it was easier, but right now once you reach the 1k gold you are done, basically you won't get any farm as it is divided by ADc, mid or top and you can't execute minions to get yourself a little bit of gold.

I like the idea that you don't need to spend gold and that the item evolves on it's own as you progress but once it's done you are done as a tank support.

the passive gold income is supposed to counter this paired with ward clearing.

what does need to be reverted though is the farming Debuff. I understand they did it to prevent the gold item double bot lane, but it punishes supports who have to farm because their ADC is non-existant and spends more time running to base then farming.

This is probably a bigger issue with below diamond games that resolves as you get higher. but its still annoying considering most are plat / lower.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I would be in the same boat of not grabbing any gold after the 1k, but I play a bunch of Pyke, so that is never a problem with me.

I do miss being able to execute minions and heal teammates, because that is helpful late game. Even if it is just like 40 hp, every bit is helpful.

Not having to upgrade the item is great, and that does save roughly 1k gold (i believe), so you are just saving that amount I suppose (not sure where I am going with this)
