AP Champs are going to abuse the new FQC

I can feel it.

On top of giving decent stats for AP champs (CDR, Mana Regen, AP) it now generates a ridiculous amount of gold. The fact that the Tribute passive gets turned off if you kill a minion helps a little bit, but you'll be generating gold at nearly double the rate as your lane opponent (if they don't also have it) while also farming gives such an unfair advantage. AP Mid and Top laners will be making far more gold than any other lanes. And I distinctly remember reading something that Riot doesn't want their support items to be strong to avoid laners abusing them. Well look what you just did Riot.

Edit: Hell, they can still abuse the Tribute passive. You let the wave reset or freeze and then when the enemy laner comes back you pop a few AAs and collect some extra gold and go back to farming.

We don't have any planned changes to the gold generation rates on the support items. Not sure yet if the reports of massive GP10 increases cropping up are the result of a bug on the PBE or a datamining mistake, we're certainly not going to ship such a change though.

Oh thank god. Something like this would break the game. Thank you. :3

(first time a Rioter ever responded to one of my threads or posts ouo)

It's definitely a bug and it's definitely not fun to deal with right now. I saw a Kayle making 1k from spellthief's ambient gold gen.

I disagree. I always buy it on any aggressive support, and i always make more gold than any other support.

It's so much gold but this just means I can use Sona again <3

C'mon Riot, don't tease me; you didn't hotfix Smite Ezreal this patch. One little patch with AP Supports running around with AP items won't hurt too much~
