Support item components are boring compared to other classes.

  • item 3134: Bonus damage on your next spell after killing anything. Creates an interesting window of power to help you win trades if you play around it
  • item 3802: 20% max mana restored on level up. creates spikes in sustain to play around near level thresholds. When your mana is high you're encouraged to burn spells right before you level up. It also grants less power if you're being overly safe and not burning enough mana to be below 80%
  • item 3010: Great against aggressive enemies, not so great against passive enemies. The more the enemy is fighting you, the more you can fight them or push the wave without being drained of your mana
  • item 3144: An active slow. Not much needs to be said. There are very few active components.
  • item 3751: Helps you passively push the wave to conserve your mana and cooldowns, but you have to position further up to get the most of it
  • item 3057: Empowered autos after every spell rewards weaving spells in between autos
  • item 3145: Empowered autos every 40 seconds. #WindowsofPower
  • item 2053: Movement Speed around turrets, makes your champion significantly more mobile around them
  • item 3052 and item 3191: gains stats for CSing, starts out weak and scales up to be stronger
  • item 3077: AoE waveclear attached to your autos and a Psuedo reset
  • item 3136: Reward's extended fights over shorter ones

Meanwhile almost every single component for support items can be summed up with two words: "some stats". They don't do anything interesting and don't really change how your character plays in any significant regard.

While it is true that supports have some of the most actives on their completed items, the OP was talking about component items (i.e. the items you build before you fully complete an item, like how Ardent Censor is made up out of Forbidden Idol and Aether Wisp)

Literally none of those items are components. I said support components are boring. Completed items are a different thing. Also; who the fuck buys Abyssal Mask on supports?
