I feel like the game needs a massive re-balance since they added a 5th gold stream.

It might not of been correct before to barely care about support damage, but now we have to.

Due to tons of nerfs because of the game being balanced around 4 gold streams, certain picks get much weaker. Vayne for example, used to be a monster botlane because of how little the support could actually do. Assassins would go botlane to feed off the innocent weak support for money. Now we got supa star supports that pretty much 1v1 the adc and make mid laners double think a dive. I'm okay with that since a support should be able to get the feeling they are strong and helpful. The problem is that now you have 5 damage and CC threats to worry about. You ain't gonna see any low damage tank junglers, it's gonna be junglers that can kill pretty much anyone when they have a support backing them up. They have the CC, they have the damage, they have the tankiness to start putting alot more pressure.

The problem is you went and nerfed everything. Tank items got hit and then you add a 5th damage source. Attack speed items got hit and you add another tank. The game was balanced around the support being helpful in utility only lategame. They weren't a monster that generated threat bythemseleves aside from their initial load of CC. You went and tried to balance the supports for increased gold income, but you didn't try to balance the game around that increased gold income.
