Should Support items be as strong as Redemption?
Should redemption be nerfed instead? What would be needed to make items as powerful as redemption and locket?

Supports should indeed have items like Redemption, as they are what make Supports have an actual impact on the game.
Other support specific items should be buffed up to compensate and make them viable alternatives. Not anything that gives damage, not through stat boosts, just through unique, impactful passives and actives. Ideally items like Ohmwrecker should be on par with redemption, just slightly more niche in that one case. I'd be thrilled if they did some tweaks to the standard and ruby sightstones to make them more unique in that regard, or tweaked Zeke's Herald Harbinger, or made locket more of a unique use case than just "activate for fat shields"
I'd also love to see a support iteration of tricksters glass from BMB brought back, maybe to make multiple harmless illusion clones of a targeted champ, for example.
