New support item idea

so i am a support main and i play alot of squishier supports like Janna Bard Nami Zyra and i always have this problem when building armour items, like frozen heart is a good support item but i feel like it is too big of a purchase for what you get out of it, what i think we need is a support tri force(hear me out here) we need an item like locket that gives armour health and MR and an active effect that can give half of the stats from that item temporarily to one of your team mates, let me explain, locket is a aura MR item with an active shield, we need an active that gives off an aura of armour and mr, so like locket but instead of a piss weak shield that blocks like 50hp, we need a defensive buff because as a support i feel useless when my ad carry gets melted by say a Zed or a Talon ult, if i could use an item to give them enough resistance to get out with 200 hp then that is better than them just dying outright, keep in mind you would need to manage when you use this because it would most likely have a long cooldown, another idea is the same thing but like a ward, so an item that is a shrine that gives your team defensive properties, please give me your feedback on these ideas, and please, for the love of league, no trolls, if you disagree then you are entitled to state your opinion but do not try to put me down or tell me im a noob, ik im a noob and don't need to be told.

Aegis used to be that. It was staple on every single support and/or jungler in every game and you were bad if you didn't build it.

So you mean you want old Aegis back? They removed armor aura because it was so strong and every jungler was building it. Moving it to an MR only aura makes it so that teams build it because they are against heavy magic burst instead of a "this item SO good/OP must get".

If you really want a way to protect your ADC from being popped buy a item 3401 . For most supports I generally start with item 3303 , but I don't bother upgrading it because there are more important items to buy. Also the amount of damage it offers me isn't worth the gold for me to upgrade it to item 3098 or item 3092 , so I am always free to straight up buy FotM, even if I'm a ranged support. Another thing to do is to ward more and staying close to your ADC, because most assassins strengths is coming in unseen and then blowing you up. If you see them before when they are trying to get into position, you can usually either burst them out or run away, saving your ADC.
