@Riot any plans for AP supports

I'm wondering this for a while now. Are their any plans on a reworks towards AP supports? Whe all remember how the cc scaling with ability power worked out back in season 4. Don't we Lulu. Most of those changes are reverted in the end but we still didn't got any further with the solution. Don't get we wrong things got a lot better now we have items like item 3050 item 3060 item 3504 item 3092 item 2301. I still feel we need a little bit more to fit everything into place.

Their are some untraditional supports that worked out really well with items like item 3151 item 3116. I think it might be intressting to get some support items that can actualy pull something off like that. I think the idea to give supports more cc over time could be intressting. I just think the concept idea was just not fully executed yet.

What about an item that provides the following passive:

  • UNIQUE Passive: Increase the power of slows by 20%.

This would fit the playstyle of focus on AP support the mainly focus arround creating picks.

I would love this as a Madge support person.

My biggest complaint about AP supports is that they play somewhat similarly. IMHO, they need a Juggernaut-type rework to differentiate them. And such a rework would probably include a light pass on items at the same time.

I mean, Soraka/Jana/Sona/Bard/Nami/Lulu/Karma/Lux all have:

  • a sustain/shield spell
  • a poke spell
  • an utility/CC spell
  • a team-oriented CC/utility ultimate (except Lux/Karma)

Even Morgana arguably fits this mold, even if her Black Shield is very specific compared to the other ones. And Zyra has no sustain at all in exchange for high DPS, but her 3 other spells follow the same pattern.
