Support Role Ideas

Seeing how the whole support role goes I think more can be done with their interactions, gameplay changes and builds. For example, we all know that Exhaust summoner 3 is mainly run on supports and what can we do for some adjustments or changes? I think making it kinda like smite summoner 11 with the two charges and combining the sightstone item 2049 with the current support items would be much better on freeing up some extra slots for support usage. I like supporting, but sometimes if we get stuck with that role it feels like there's nothing we can do if everyone falls behind. This can be troublesome for those who go into solo queue. So I was thinking combining item 2049 with Frost Queens Claim item 3092 to give the sightstone more variety. Now everyone will wonder, "Where did the Frost Queen's Unique active go?" Well it's in the exhaust. Exhaust has become an AOE summoner spell with a decrease in the damage reduction since it's now a group cast, but you have to wait 30 seconds between charges. "What about things like ancient coin item 3301 and relic shield item 3302." Well Ancient coin would change exhaust summoner 3 into a unique summoner spell (maybe "Energize") which would grant the temporary speed boost with the opposite of exhaust which is damage increase by percentage like 10% since it can be group cast. Then with relic shield it would change it into another summoner spell (maybe "Guardians Grace") where the single cast on yourself or allied champions would gain the shield that Face of the Mountain item 3401 would give but make them tankier for maybe turret dives or chances of excapes, but still keep it's exploding bubble.

Here's what I got: item 2049 + item 3092 : +50 AP +10% CDR +2 Gold per 10 seconds +50% mana regen -Keeps unique passive

  • summoner 3 now has unique active

item 2049 + item 3401 +500 health +100% mana regen +10% CDR -Keeps unique passive -summoner 3 becomes "Guardians Grace" and does it's unique active but more viable

item 2049 + item 3069
+100% base mana regen +100% base health regen +20 movement speed +10% CDR +2 gold per 10 -Keeps unique passive -summoner 3 becomes "Energize" does it's unique active with +10% damage increase as an aoe.

I have other ideas but not enough time.

thats just plain stupid o.O

first of all support doesnt need to be changed, why would it... secondly this change is just randomly throwing stuff around in a way nothing makes sense anymore

I get where you're trying to go with this...but realistically, sightstone is not going to be merged with other items to make it somehow "more useful" (as most of the anti-supports claim).

My honest opinion is that if you can't figure out why sightstone is perfectly fine and very useful the way that it is, you shouldn't be playing support. Or at all, really, but that might be a little to harsh.

Where are all these people coming from where they think support should be another viable kill-based carry for the team? Google, define "support" for me, I think I forgot.
