About the removal of the support items...
Hi!
I am a support main and have been playin LoL since three years back. When I started playing league I didn't see support as role where you could have fun playing as. Like, at least in low elo, where I am, supports don't have a very big impact on the game in comparison to the other roles. Then Riot released Ivern, the support jungler, I really loved his kit so I started playing him and very quickly he became my fave champ. So I went from being adc, the first role I mained, to becoming an Ivern main. Then the nerfs came... I found it hard to play him against other stronger jg's so I started playing support instead. It didn't take much time to get used to it since I played Ivern before, but the difference in impact was obvious. I did enjoy playing support, it was fun to protect your team but then I found the active items for support such as
,
and
. I really loved these items!! They we're so nice to use, especially so
and
! In team fights
was great to either flee or to catch up with the other team and
was great to either catch people or see if anyone was around. It was one of my key items when I played Bard. When you had to get the chimes in the enemy jungle you could see if anyone was around, great item! Then the support quest's came as well! I was thrilled, supports we're striving not only to help others but also to get some neat bonuses themselves! Now comes the sad part, a few patches away Riot removed the active support items and with them the original quests. Now when you finish the quest you only get wards... Sure it's good for you too but in reality it's only for reading your opponents play. The quests and the active items we're fun for the supports to play with, not only that but they were also very useful. If anyone reads this and know why they actually got rid of them, please tell me.
I don't think it's just me who miss these items.
