Support Items

So gargoyle stoneplate along with some other items were meant to be put on low damage tank, i.e. supports. Riot said it themselves. But I just realized one of the major issues surrounding this... damage reduction doesn't work on true damage. The drawback of the item doesn't apply to champions that have true damage in their kits, the likes of darius, chogath, etc. This means damage oriented tanks like these are free to build a support based item that was meant to keep them alive and relevant while still dealing ridiculous amounts of damage. I was so happy when I found out supports were going to get a little love in the item department again, but now I'm certain there's going to be a nerf in the future...
