will we ever see an ability like Raise morale on a champion

for those who dont know raise morale was an ability on pre-rework gangplank that on activation gave every nearby teammate bonus attack damage and movement speed.

i feel like this ability could make a return somehow on a new support (pre-rework gp could actually support plz bring it back somehow rito)

It was removed because it was amazingly boring.

Only if the next person who gets the ability has to stand completely still and abandon everything they were doing.

A very fucking boring ability if you ask me.

Nunu has a similar ability on his W - Blood Boil, granting anywhere between 25-50% Bonus Attack Speed and 8-13% Bonus Movement Speed for 12 seconds on a 15 second cooldown (with no CDR - can maintain 100% uptime with some). It's incredibly useful for securing Assists as a Jungler, as well as being able to beef up your AD/nearest target's damage output by a large amount while simultaneously making them a chase-down machine.

And even with all these sheer raw stats that Nunu provides, it is still incredibly boring to use, as the tiny glowing red hands aren't very visually impacting nor do they do any damage by themselves, leaving Nunu with 1 damaging ability he can freely use on champions (E - Ice Blast). His Ultimate is very situational and requires a long channel duration for any substantial damage.

While "buff bot" style champions are nice and very essential in a competitive environment (hi Sona ,Lulu ,Janna ), they're generally very unrewarding beyond their Ultimates and rely heavily upon the team to do their jobs very well while providing minimal showmanship for their efforts - aside from building Full AP/AD, which is fine, just remember you lack the super useful support items (Locket, Redemption, Mikael's, etc.) to effectively peel for your carries and yourself.
