After playing supp around D1 elo, I think the new items are ok except for one thing:

Most people have pointed it out already, but I want to confirm / support the idea. The punishment for CS should definitely not persist after item is fully upgraded.

I'm fine with losing tribute/spoils passive after 1000g since you save 1400 which in total is 2400g from your supp item. However supps need to help waveclear in many situations mid/late game and the diminishing gold will most definitely result in less than optimal game decisions, and/or less options for gameplay. You shouldn't have to wait for any laner to go and prevent a tower from dying or crashing a wave to deny XP if you have an opportunity to do it yourself. Especially in Solo Q.

This right now feels like a bug that needs a hotfix.

I've played a shitload of support since the preseason drop, and I can safely say I've NEVER noticed the loss of gold from CSing late game. Not the once. More importantly, if what you need is to clear waves, the gold is probably a secondary concern when compared to getting minions off of your tower or out of the way of your own minions.
