Support Gold and EXP

As a support player I feel that this season has been quite hard on supports. With the removal of assist gold spree I find myself struggling to finish my fourth item (support items are cheaper and I still struggle). Later this feels so unsatisfying, nothing is more frustrating than struggling to finish your build. It feels so meh, oh the game has ended and I've just finished my fourth item (fourth item including boots).

EXP also sucks, the ward EXP changes didn't help with anything, it's barely noticeable and your teammates just "KS" the ward anyway so its like really >.>. When people are reaching level 18 and you're still 13/14 and you struggle to hit that big level 16 it sucks. It really does suck. It feels so unsatisfying to play support.

Maybe this is why people don't want to support? Because you're always behind in every way even when your team is ahead.

You don't play support to be ahead. You play support to support your teammates.

Agreed. Gold is an issue... and trying to play a 'tanky support'? Forget it. If you don't snowball as a support (weird right?), you won't be able to buy the expensive tanky items to keep yourself alive.

As mostly a ranged support player the lack of exp is a serious problem, I have so many things to do that don't involve sitting in a lane. I don't feel the gold as much.. but I was runnning gold/10 runes until recently.
