Bring Back Face of the Mountain

Ok, lets talk about it. Back when Riot removed the old support items there were a lot of casualties. All of the actives on them were removed: Coins speed boost, Frost Queens ghost slow, and Face of the Mountains shield. Fast forward to now, where all of the actives have been reintroduced with new items aside from Face of the Mountain's. Face of the Mountain was a first item for the people that used it. It was to scrap in lane and try to get/push an early lead. It added a another thing to manage, and allowed you to choose who needed the shield most and act on it. Now, the closest resemblance to the item is Locket, an item with no health that scales off health and levels. As a result, it is a very bad starting item and the abundance of magic resist it gives is frequently of no use to supports in lane phase. Please add back Face of the Mountain, or an item with the same active and similar build path (e.i health and possibly armor) so that tank supports can once again have to euphoria of shielding the carry in a clutch moment. With games not tending toward late, and the horribly skewed resistance that Locket offers, it would be refreshing to add another option for utility to supports for the early game.

There's no healthy way to bring it back without pro teams building 5 of them and just putting them all on a kog/varus

When Relic Shield's shield died, so did FotM I think

New items? No. They were old items that existed before the support items had those actives and were removed, then returned after the support items were removed.

FoTM's active however was said to not return as it was the least used of the 3.
