The support-item quests and following changes just all feel strange.
I understand wanting to remove the uninteractiveness of Coin, but making champions who WANT to stay uninteractive, walk into the minion wave is pretty damn infuriating honestly. Plus the semi-randomness of the item just makes it feel bad.
The item needed a rework, not a reimagining.
Also i think the Elixir of Skill or whatever, would be more beneficial if it just gave you an amount of EXP equal to a whole level. While this does mean its also giving you stats. It still is unabusable by laners. While also removing the stangeness associated with the new item. Gaining ult at 5/10/15 and etc just feel off and unnecessary.
Personally I hate the 6 second change deduction stacking for every minion you kill. I think it would be better if it was a refreshing 6 second CD where you cant proc any charges for minions you kill.
This would make last hitting under turret while your laner is gone much less punishing. While also being unabusable (i think) to solo laners.
Every support ever hates when your team late game wont let you stack them. However with the recent changes coming out next patch where you have bonus attack speed and range for executable minions. It just sounds weird. Wouldnt it be better and more clear if like the executable HP scaled with teams average level or something. It just feels like that would feel better than sometimes having more range and attackspeed.
I mean i havent used it but it just SOUNDS like it would be weird.
so I had the mana to use Q as a sustain tool. Now that "mana tokens" occasionally drop from minions I almost never have to back even against a poke-heavy support and ADC that Taric struggles against he now does phenomenal against. Not to mention he has no real problem heading into the wave to pick up the tokens since he can use his heals/shields on himself.
, I always felt that tanks (doesn't matter if it's
,
, or
who is completely legit as a support) don't get enough gold as a support and wind up as mediocre tanks, requiring another teamate to pick a tank or offtank to give your team balance. Now with the shield, support tanks feel a lot more viable since they just get a little extra shield which is super useful for soaking pokes.
and even a little bit
. And forcing them to interact and get bullied just kinda feel mean to those champions.
