Support Items Balancing
The game needs more support only items and the current support items need to be changed to prevent abuse by midlaners.
-
Frost Queen Claim: Make Frost Queen's Claim passive go on cooldown just like Frostfangs. This will stop midlaners abusing that support item. Champions like Lux don't need, and should not have access to, a homing missile slow. Revert the herfs to its stats as compensation.
-
Targons: Make Targon's line final items give more gold per 5 sec. It's VERY hard to farm with it lategame which means tanky supports suffer. The 2 exceptions are Alistar and Braum as they can deny a large portion of the incomming damage but since they don't rely on gold it won't matter.
-
Grant experience for every ward placed with the Sightstone. This could work like the Cull where placing a ward gives a tiny bit of experience and after placing 25 wards you get a large amount of experience and the passive is disabled. This experience would be increased if you are below the average level of your team.
Supports also need a new line of items that would work like the Rod of Ages or the Strength of Ages keystone.
For example (exact figures would of course need balancing):
NEW ITEM 1: **Soul Siphon ** 250 Health 350 Mana 25 MR 15 Armor Build out of Catalyst the Protector + 1 Null Magic Mantle + 1 Cloth Armor + 350 Gold.
UNIQUE PASSIVE - SIPHON: Gain 2 Armor, 2 MR and 20 Health for every 5 minions your allies kill (1000 unit range). Stacks up to 20 times for a max of 40 Armor, 40 MR and 400 health.
PASSIVE: Can only have one Siphon Item UNIQUE PASSIVE – VALOR'S REWARD: On leveling up, restores 150 health and 200 mana over 8 seconds.
A second siphon item would be similar but you'd gain AD, AP and Health instead. This perhaps could be split into two items, one for AP, one for AD.
