A way to fix support itemization

Josh Sand·Feb 26, 2019·2 votes·1,967 views

Can we start developing some support scaling around trash stats like HP or MP Regen?

Like if you look at Pyke, a lot of his stuff scales off of lethality. If you can do that for Pyke, why not have support champions scale off of regen?

Regen isnt always a huge priority for most classes. HP/MP regen usually has to be packaged with other stats like AP or +HP max in order to get them onto solo laners.

If supports could leverage Regen as a stat priority, you might be able to make support specific items that you dont have to worry about other classes abusing.

You could have support items with artifically inflated budget values on its regeneration amount, which would make it useless for any class that didnt scale off that stat - but make it attractive for supports that could scale off of it.

Athenes does already but its not ideal for supports that arent Sona or Orianna. Other items like it would be fun to play with, perhaps an iteration of Ohmwrecker or Mikhail

All these champions can utilize Athene's as well.

Pretty sure it's core on Nami.

I use it on lux support as first item. It's incredibly efficient and removes her mana issues.

item 3174 .

Coupled with item 3098 alone, it gives 30 ap and 30 more ap from the athene's passive.. The item gives at total 60 ap alongside great stats for supports which makes it an incredibly efficient item at 2.1k gold.
