well since riot is all about "ooh don't say bad words because our fan base is thin skinned children". imma say it like this. hey, assholes. you ruined support items. you are garbage at your job, i don't wish getting fired upon you(again, thin skin on your part) but your "rework" ,which was basically renaming an old useless item and making it more useless and removing the actually useful things about support items, makes you look extreemely incompetent. again, i don't wish you getting fired like on last post. but you people suck at your jobs. period. so either buff the new garbage, or return the alternative to at least show that you can learn from stupid mistakes

It's actually a nice change. item 3097 , item 3098 , and item 3096 give you an early 3 wards. This is extremely nice since the fully upgraded items aren't really gold efficient (this means you can rush item 3107 after you buy , , and , because you still get warding). I main support and all I can say is for you to just play around this thing. It's not as bad as you might think. And being salty just makes people not really respect your position on the matter.

Cuss words are perfectly accepted and allowed. Insults on the other hand are not. Here: Piss shit fuck - not directed at anyone, these terms are fine.

imma say it like this. hey, assholes. you ruined support items. you are garbage at your job,

Really missing the point of not insulting people today, aren't we?

i don't wish getting fired upon you(again, thin skin on your part)

Then why bring the subject up at all? This was the most passive aggressive "you should be fired" that I have ever seen.

but your "rework" ,which was basically renaming an old useless item and making it more useless and removing the actually useful things about support items,

This was the only actual content in your post related to your actual concern about the game. Next time you post something this portion should be a higher % of the text you put on the page.

makes you look extreemely incompetent. again, i don't wish you getting fired like on last post. but you people suck at your jobs. period

If you're making a post with the sole intent of insulting people then don't make it. How you try to veil it doesn't matter, especially when you (probably intentionally) do such a bad job of hiding it. Next time you post this should be a much lower % of the text you put on the page.

I was going to make a discussion on this issue, but it looks like someone else already has done so, so I will add my thoughts here. Just like OLEANDERVINE said, while I dislike the way RikudouSennin007 delivered it, I agree with his idea. These support item changes are truly bogus, in my opinion. If the changes aren't bogus, at least the reason Riot gave is. This is what they said in Patch 8.2 notes:

"Supports spend a ton of gold—and slot space—on two items that exist largely for their role. We're merging those items together to give supports more autonomy in their itemization."

To me, this doesn't make any logical sense. Before this patch, majority of support players got a gold item and Sightstone as their primary items. While we have 6 item slots, we didn't run out of item slots until later. By the time we needed to create an extra slot for more items, we had plenty of gold to combine into Eye of the ___ items, which takes 1 slot. With the new change they implemented, we still have to allocate 1 slot for a support/gold item. I don't see any improvement. I see that it is cheaper, but then all Riot needed to do was the price adjustments, not to get rid of existing items. Especially, they do not state any problems on Frost Queen's Claim, Face of the Mountain and Tailsman of Ascension, these items got eliminated due to... what reason? I loved these items together with Ruby Sightstone, so I am just not happy that Riot got rid of them for some illogical reasons. A few seasons ago, they introduced these items to make the support role more interesting and unique depending on which support item we grab. That is because their upgraded items gave great actives. With this new change, I must say that they made the support role more dull and less unique, just like going back to Season 4 or 5.

In addition, as OLEANDERVINE stated, the actual time when we can get 3 wards is now way later in game than when we could buy Sightstone. I truly hate this. At least I hope Riot either will reduce the quest goal gold from 500 to something cheaper, or will let us get 3 wards upon completion of the quest, not when we go back to the base afterwards.

Support role was never my first choice, but I didn't mind taking it, thanks to all the effort Riot put in previously to make it interesting. Now, I can't see how I could enjoy the support role.

Don't worry, nobody will get fired over your petty rant.

You're just throwing insults because you don't like a change they made, but hey, it's nice of you to worry that they'd get fired.

Well-grounded rant. Everyone sees the point of your critic about the rework. [slayer-jinx-unamused]
