Support Experiment Duration and Opinions

The idea of the having majority of supports on free rotation is something I think is really interesting. Personally I have a majority of the champs so I won't be effected, but this is a really nice gesture for newer players to give them a good foundation of champions that handle the support position.

But I do have a few questions. Namely how long, is the experiment intended to run for. Whether it results in a more permanent rotation isn't really concerning since as an experiment, it would need to end at some point to get the data to make that sort of decision, but it would be nice to have an expiration date rather then checking every week.

Second, is any kind of similar experiment on the table for other roles in the future? Not nessessarly by lane such as mid or top, but by classes defined by riot such as marksmen and fighters.

Granted, none of this really effects me or probably anyone who really reads from the boards, but given that new blood is what keeps any game kicking. It would be a comforting thought to see riot still care for the newer players who've yet to experience the excitement of double kills, the intensity of the meta, and B&%#$#!% that is Yasuo/Zed/Fizz/flavor of the month/etc.
