Support-specific summoner spell

The Ecdysiast··1 votes·119 views

There should be a summoner spell with its own coinciding items, like summoner 11 , for supports. That way they don't have to nerf support items just because they're being used mid and top. I don't have a suggestion as to what the spell would do, but it'd be a nice edition.

Edit: Suggested by Tohob: A minion-only Smite that leaves the minion alive and immune to minion/turret damage so your ally can kill it guaranteed.

My additions/changes to this suggestion: Since I was thinking it would get enchantments in exactly the same way Smite does, to change the spell, it would be different based on the enchantment you go with. For his idea, it'd be the spellthief enchantment because that's the one where you specifically don't want to kill minions.

For the FOTM variant, it'd share the kill gold just like FoTM does already.

The AC variant would just increase the passive gold you get from nearby minion kills already. (Unless someone has a real suggestion)

The point here is that buying a support item would only be possible to buy if you have this spell. I don't know how we'd balance this around the current necessity for Exhaust, but it's one way to stop them from gutting support items.

i think the only thing supports do that nobody else does is specifically avoid CSing, and they've alraedy been given plenty of options for that. maybe something like a spell that deals damage similarly to smite, but only to minions, an always leaves the target with at least 1hp, and then makes it immune to all forms of non-champion damage for a couple seconds?

Oh! Yes! Okay, I'll type additions to that on the post.
