Note how there's no support items that cater to their play style at all. Itemization is part of the fun in this game. Been saying it. Will continue to say it. If Zyra/Brand are going to be supports, like Rito's been pushing, they need proper itemization options.

Mysticman891 votesWhat sort of items did you have in mind?
chipndip11 votesPerhaps an item that gives 30 - 40 ap and bonus magic pen based on the stats of someone you tether yourself to, for starters?
Mysticman891 votesWould such an item be desirable to only mage supports, and not say, a mid laner with their jungler, or even a mid laner with (adc/jg/top) in mid-late game?
chipndip11 votesMaybe on the same guy that buys Athene's like a moron in the mid lane, maybe. If it's a 30 ap item, do they REALLY want to buy that in a solo lane?

Tseison1 votesRework Zyra overall and make BETTER magic pen items, period.
Hoosakiwi1 votesI actually think this is a good thing. Riot needs to move mages out of the support role and back into mid lane. I'm happy to see traditional supports performing better and I'm hoping that Riot will spend more time tweaking champs like Zyra, Brand, Malz, etc to make them stronger in mid.
