Only way to make more support players.

Give them equal gold and experience..

How? Start with a passive to support items or a mastery that grants passive gold and exp while near allies with higher gold-earned and experience.

they already tried that... and they get gold income items... if they get more passive gold then people would forgo gold income items and build more damage and then people would cry supports are broken and do too much damage again

they dont naturally get "less experience" thats a player created strategy and in no way should be compensated for it. you shouldnt be able to give your adc solo lane xp while still racking it in yourself, you made the conscious decision to roam.

supports are probably the only thing id even remotely consider balanced atm.

top lane is a shit show, jungle is a serious tank meta. Mid is always 2 champs heavily featured in worlds or a yasou.

Your soul purpose is to support the team, increased gold and even more sona would rush a lich bane. damage items would be picked over support items.

Hell, ive had to start building locket on Zac lately, since supports arent building it all anymore.

well its more then roaming.. in a duo lane you split experience and both the adc and support level slower then the mid/top

similar for junglers they get less experience due to lack of farm/ gold income

right but they are speaking as a support not "bot lane" in general.

... gold is not an issue for supports it hasn't been since support items were added. nothing needs to change there. however i DO agree that exp needs to be fixed top mid and jungle get solo exp and while support and adc might share exp during laning phase. As soon as towers start to fall an people start grouping the support falls way behind in exp.

becuase while if any OTHER players decides to go solo farm a lane to splitpush it. its perfectly normal. but no one EVER lets the support get solo farm and exp. they are expected to stay with at least 1 player on team the ENTIRE time.

i think if you own a support item AND a sightstone (or the combination ones) you should get more exp when grouped. scaling with how far behind in levels you are

maybe not FULL exp from things when grouped unless you are REALLY far behind in exp

but it really does need to be a lot higher than what u get now.

i mean when i see games in lcs and worlds where the supports are lvl 10 and the rest of the team is lvl 18.. thats just not right. granted the gap isnt anywhere near that large for us mortal players.. but i am frequently 2-3 levels most players on my team as support at around the 30 min mark.

so to recap.. gold is fine but exp is not

Supports typically fall behind in experience cause they need to run out to ward often. If sighstone and the items it builds into had a passive that gave a small amount of experience for placing sightstone wards with a 90 sec or higher cooldown to prevent abuse. I think it would even back out.
