[Discussion]: Spectral Sickle & Support Marksman

Agent Corgi·10/26/2019, 5:19:06 PM·2 votes·5,576 views

So far one of my favorite changes in Season 10 has to be the Supporting Items, particularly the new addition of Spectral Sickle.

[New] Spectral Sickle

400g
+5 Attack Damage
+10 Health
+2 Gold per 10 seconds
Unique Passive - Tribute: Damaging spells and attacks against champions or buildings grant 15 gold. This can occur up to 3 times every 30 seconds.
Quest: Earning gold through using this item will transform the item, granting Sightstone. (Receive diminishing gold from excessive minion kills.)
Limited to 1 Gold Income Item or Jungle item.

While Support Marksman isn't a new playstyle by any means (Fortune & Ashe), I feel like this item is going to be a much better fit than the Original Spellthiefs.

What do you guys think about this item, along with the other 3 Support Items?

It's almost like they're releasing a support marksman this patch as well.

It makes me wonder if they're going to be releasing a bunch of AD supports from this point forward. They made two whole items that the vast majority of support champs don't really want to take because they've historically all been AP. They might even rework a few supports to be AD, like Thresh, Alistair, Nautilus, and Braum.

i honestly dont know how to feel about most of these changes so i guess i will wait and see but what i dont like is that they removed the little sustain from relic shield and removed coin completely , now tank supports that has no sustain are going to horribly suffer from poke supports and makes last hitting minions with relic stacks less rewarding and more risky since you as a melee support has to get close giving the enemy a chance to poke you . also coin removal is just bad it removes passive-ish playstyle from bot lane and leaves only aggressive playstyle which is bad for some supports like soraka , and also bad for situations when you are losing lane since you cant just play safe and wait for jungler to help because you would be losing gold by not playing aggressively ,and you cant play aggressively if you you just died 2 times to the enemy or if they hard counter you ..etc basicly bot lane in general tuns into only pure "oppress or get oppressed"

but thats just my opinion and like i said i will just wait and see , if these changes comes live i will try them and see maybe i might be wrong

Qiyana JarvanIV Illaoi Akali LeeSin will benefit from the new items I think.

Qiyana and Akali sound very odd but they're very fun to play. Qiyana has really good engage with her targeted snare and her ult will synergize well with the alcove thingy. Akali is kinda troll but it might get better with with AP targon item.
