Support Item Actives

Hey,

I don't play support a lot, but when I do I play tanky supports that try to engage/peel etc, e.g. Leona . While there is little place to argue that Targon is probably the best Item to start with on her, I don't like the items active. I'd much rather have the active of Talisman of Ascension , because it makes it much more fun to engage.

Each item is usually picked depending on their main stats/passive for lane, and the unique active is just something that goes with it, that's why I think it should be possible to pick the active dynamically.

That's why I'd suggest to add enchantments to these support items, similar to the boot enchantments, to diverse the support build. In some occasions, depending on your champ, your team comp and the enemy team comp, it might be better to have the speed buff active, e.g. if you want to force hard engages, in other situations you might want avoid teamfights and get the the slow active to slow your enemies, and then there is the shield active for the rest to just soak up damage. I think it would add more diversity and possibilities to counterplay for supports. See image for example.

EDIT: People claim that it was a stupid idea because everyone would pick Talisman active because it's simply better. But that is not a problem of my suggestion, it's inherently bad design of the items. The Actives just need to be rebalanced to allow for equally good choices when upgrading.
