Frost Queen's Claim down for 60 hours now
Why do I get the feeling Riot has the same opinion of supports as most players right now...

Because support is a role for people who can't carry and requires almost 0 skill.
well frost queen is the most useless gp item so it's not missed by anyone but those who lie to themselves thinking it's an ok item
...Because they probably do?
I only noticed it was gone by reading about it,and I main support.
I don't really have a problem since spellthief's is good.
Frostfang and Frost Queen's Claim are shit.
The Spellthief line is generally for poke-mage supports, and those really aren't popular right now. That's probably why there isn't more uproar about a core item on a whole class being disabled.
Right... Explain to me how the time it takes to fix a game breaking bug with an item is related to how Riot feels about supports again?
This is a non sequitur argument.
For the record, the bug with FQC is that whenever you last hit a minion while holding FQC, the cooldown on the active resets, meaning you have a crazy apammable, Aoe 80% slow for free. An abusive player would be able to rush this in mid, then just spam it at their lane opponent every time they have it up, which is about 6 times a wave if they're really good. That'd be fucking disgusting.
so who cares?
isn't worth upgrading anyways, you get it for the extra gold it gives, thing negates when upgraded
get 
if you care
got buffed and get slightly more gold, which provide a more stable income than frost queen line. In lane, the health regen also helps with sustain. also has more mana regen than
. got buffed (CDR reduced for active, mastery also gives extra 20% CDR for that active). Speed buff is also much easier to use to disengage, especially when against tanks/ tanky support who like to build
. Compare to 
, on the other hand, is a skillshot aoe slow that decays and have a really slow missile speed. (maybe they should buff that?) Also, don't forget that support players are probably too busy pressing other buttons for other support active items (like 
), exhaust/ignite, and use other skill shots utility skills that they already have.
That the only support people should play is 
?
Well there's your problem, you aren't building
It's alright. I used Talisman on Janna and it works. I know I like better the Ap boost but hey, I can't do anything about it. And playing Thresh in rank at my elo is suicide. No one will ever teamfights well when I initiate. XD'''
