@Xypherous: About the Spellthief's Edge line changes and AD supports
TL;DR:
Spellthief line no longer grants AP until the final form
Tribute:
Your spells and attacks deal X additional damage to champions and towers and generate Y gold. (X and Y values vary throughout the line.)
So, I was thinking: This new Spellthief's edge line benefits AD based supports as much as AP based supports until the final form.
So why not add another evolution to Frostfang, but on the AD side.
What I was thinking is, since Zeke's is really rare nowadays, why not kill two birds with one stone and make a variation of it here. It's a support-based item anyway.
Zeke's Herald (change to Zeke's Frost Banner or something if it needs to fit thematically)
25 AD (roughly the same as 40 AP in stat value)
10% CDR
10 MP/5
+4 GP/10
Unique Passive - Tribute: Same as FQQ
Unique Active - Frenzy: Grants nearby allies +A% Life Steal, +B% Attack Speed and C Attack damage for D seconds. E second cooldown. F range. (Shurelia-type active)
Reasoning behind making it an active:
• more decision making involved (picking when to activate)
• isn't constant so can be given more power
• feels better and more impactful to use than a constant aura
This is actually a rework of an idea I previously had.

But now, seeing how the first two items in the line are going to change, there's no need for a split before the third item.
The original thread is still a good read if you want to go there.
