So ... who is going to buy pink wards now ?
Most of the supports didn't upgrade their support item to level 3 because it gave crap stats compared to finishing
.
So currently after completing the quest you have 1000 gold. Buy
+
and thats it. After this point you will probably finish your first item till the end of the game. With passive gold generation which is 18/g a minute is turns out that every 4 minutes you will be able to buy 1 control ward. Thats it. Its pathetic. If your team is ahead you will probably could afford more or if you could stole some CS.
The problem is getting worse if team is behind. You now totally rely on your team after lane phase. The tank support wont have any health , the mages wont have any damage, the enchanters wont enchant. Well yea they will all do it but like crippled.
This + the xp nerf + the new support items crap stats .... guys do you even remember the queue times when supports were at that bad spot ?
. He is the only one who can escape gold starvation after quest completion.
