I can't wait for the upcoming merger of sightstone and Tier2 supp items.

Change is usually really scary for me, but this time I don't really care or can't wait to see what the difference will be. Let's be honest, this preseason has been so bonobo the very concept of "balance" is a meme.

I've been going tier2 support items into Luden's Echo/Sorc shoes on Janna. It's been a lot of fun doing this because my Zombie wards have kept my lane safe for the most part. With so much movement speed (tier2 boots, 10% of luden's, Zephyr passive and Janna passive) you can poke down the enemy ADC pretty easily, and if they DO catch you, q/e/r for safety--most of the time just Q. I really hate losing the extra bonus MS from Frostfang as it really helped with the poke-escape BUUUUUUT I think I'm alright trading that for a free sightstone. I had the same gameplan with Nami, w the enemy and let the splash hit back to you to nullify their trade and give MS to escape.

Anyone else a little excited for the changes? How will gaining sightstone differently change your playstyle?

Just as long they'll find a way to preserve the t3 supp item actives (and the new items won't be stupidly expensive) I'm down for it.

idk.. They weren't that great to me truthfully. I did like the Ruby Sightstone passive (which would be the only reason I would upgrade T3 supp items)

I wouldn't mind more variety in the support item list though!

Her passive grants movement speed to any allies it touches based on AP.

Edit for clarity: w/e/r all activate her passive on her allies.

I think the new changes to force the Eyes of the ____ on every support is a terrible mistake. Sightstones aren't satisfying items, nor will it be a satisfying quest reward. The Tier 3 items WERE satisfying items and quest rewards. Removing things that made supporting more interesting to replace it with something that won't is god awful.

Waitwhat? Are they removing choice and skill expression from supports again? I'm scared, source?
