Support Items

Can we get support items to continue giving income stacks after final upgrade? I understand that the overall income total is high because it does not require a fee to upgrade like the previous iteration of these items, however when the threshold of 1,000 gold is hit supports hit a wall that stops them from earning more money through the later stages of the game. It also disables passives that can be useful for wave clear from items like Targons. Personally as a support main I am just finding these new items helpful for early income, but lack luster in the late game stages. This also prevents build diversity because income is so low unless you are really getting involved in a lot of fights mid to late game.

Any thoughts or comments would be awesome as I would love to see others thoughts on this topic, and the state of support items right now. Thanks, Deliveryboy4559

You can take farm with the support item. I think it's like 20/5 minutes.

I actually managed to hit gold cap a few games ago when i was clearing super minion waves. I was a little surprised it was around 80cs in. It was actually a lot of CS for a support.

You're getting something like 1k in free stats, plus another 1000 (soon 1250) in free gold. Want income after lane? Go find a wave and farm it.

I don't play support much anymore but the few times I have it seems to only take 15-20 mins MAX to even reach thast 1k now I bet in higher elo where I assume the games are short down here in the Olympics where games can go 40+ almost every game it's pretty annoying. ESP if you team isn't getting kills and you're getting no assist gold. I try to take Supports that can farm a lane Lux/Senna or sups that really only need 2 low cost items like Janna/Raka now.

They already are changing support items. Wish people would look at s@20 before going to the boards and typing out things that are being changed...

the farming minions supp items seem to be pretty decent you can get gold in a decent amount but the real strugle is with the "poking" supp items, hitting a minion to share is maybe not that big of a deal but when u need to hit a champ atleast to get some gold thats kinda annoying, mage type supports deserve some attention
