Support Stat- Celestial Power
So, one of the biggest issues with support itemization is that supports rely on items that provide stats that are the same as what everyone else uses: basically, their items have to be lesser, weaker options that are gold efficient because otherwise, other champions that aren't supports would just take their role (A little of this has already happened with Brand, Annie, and Lux). So, how do we make it so that supports are unique unto themselves, and how do we give them power they deserve if they've earned the gold for it? Enter Celestial Power. Basically, it's a stat that utility, heal, and cc will scale with (if the champion has the scaling in their abilities to begin with). So, for example, let's take a champion like Janna. Janna's Q will remain an AP scaling (as it is all magic damage scaling), but now her W's bonus Movement Speed, as well as the active slow scaling, will rely on her Celestial Power, so will her E's damage mitigation and Attack Damage buff scaling, and her ult's heal over time scaling. This will allow for stronger scaling without providing AP magic damage users other item options, allowing supports to have an item set completely unique unto themselves. Tank supports will obviously benefit less from this, but even then, their scaling has never really suffered.
If this idea is well received, I might consider going through every champion and outlining how this change would affect ability stats.


supports. A champion like
basically does what Brand and Zyra do, only she heals you too. And Riot has never liked heals because they invalidate trades. Getting more damage is essential sometimes, it's why so many supports run AD or magic pen reds.
