Why not just make Klepto users unable to buy a gold item?
It seems like a much simpler, less intrusive fix, doesn't it?

Honestly get rid of Klepto. No need for it. 1 chmapion uses it really well (Ezreal) Then the rest of the people who abuse it are ranged ap top laners like viktor or now zilean and karma. Everyone else who uses klepto doesn't maximize its potential whatsoever.
I mean I'm no game designer so take this with a grain of salt, but probably because 1: they don't want keystone runes to be upside/downside, it's supposed to be more of a flat buff and you don't want to take away the fun. But more importantly, 2: this would take klepto away from the supports that actually use it, namely sona and soraka, who would be getting hit by this fix because if a problem they didn't cause. The simpler fixes sometimes aren't the best.
But then I can't play klepto sona. :'( I haven't played sona in a while so I haven't done it recently, but I like to take it when I do play her.
Restricting a support item from solo laners is a much less "intrusive fix" than completely eliminating the possibility of a support using Klepto.
Why not just leave support items alone and fix bounties?
How exactly is their solution not perfectly fine and reasonable?
This also takes away power from Brand and Zyra, making them less oppressive when they're alone and less likely to 1v1 somebody as supports.

Too much logic

How just how like no it is not simpler like saying klepto users can't buy gold items just makes the game more confusing to players since they have no clue why it also just hurts any support that may want to use it.
Also the gold item changed basically doesn't hurt support at all like how doing the change you want better can you tell me that instead of just saying nonsense like what you posted.
what about pyke with ancient coin midlane and top?
Locking gold income items out because you took Klepto shits on rune selection. Perhaps you wanted to play Klepto Sona, or Klepto Leona, or any other support who can easily trigger Klepto. Nope, no more. Your suggestion is a bad fix. A better fix would be to give Klepto a cooldown on gold generation to prevent people from subsisting on it's income alone. Or, get rid of the shitty, snowbally bounties that they introduced that do nothing but give more gold to people who are winning.
That would still be a "bandaid" solution and not giving any attention to the actual issue, that is recieving income through ways other than enemy kills/creep kills is an inherently flawed and broken concept.
lets get rid of support items because they only keep creating problems and go back to purchasing observer wards individually. and lets remove the gold generation on kleptomancy and buff the potion/item generation on it.
cause riot doesnt have that level of iq score
But I like to play klept veigar support into melee supports...
No, cause its actually a decent rune to take on some supports for a little extra gold income.
