How is the Bandit Support mastery fair to melee champs???

Its 3 gold per auto (every 5 secs on same champ) for ranged champs

and then 15 bonus gold on kill/assist for melees

I attack about 200 times to just harass with ranged supports during the laning phase, and most of those are sporadic so they about 160 of them get the bandit gold. Thats 480 gold during the laning phase.

Meanwhile i might get at most 6 kills/assists during the laning phase. That is, if im lucky, 90 gold.

How is this fair?

Braum, Leona, Alistar seem balanced without it

Who does that leave who is melee?

Taric? He has his own anti-ad team comp niche.

Agree entirely. It's almost worthless on melee.

I don't think melee supports are lacking.

Assuming a ranged support procs it once every five seconds, it would take them 24 minutes to earn enough bonus gold to get a Blasting Wand (860 g). It would take an ADC 43 minutes to earn enough bonus gold for a BF Sword. Just throwing some math out there.

And that's assuming perfect procing of it. A more realistic view would say they'll proc it, on average, once every 8-10 seconds. That extends the time needed for the above scenario significantly.
