AD Support Item REHASH

AD Support Item

Ok this is a rehashing of a separate post I made about the concept for an AD support item. Yes this is very controversial. "Doc you must be craaazy, AD support is CABBAGE." Yes yes its bad because there aren't many ways you can build someone who's AD into a support, aside from rushing AD bruiser items like Frozen Mallet.

One of these more viable but disrespected champs to take support is Ashe. Ive taken Cait support and many other AD Champs and it works out well. However there is no AD Support Item in League currently.

I have though hard and designed a rough version of a nice unique AD support item called Rogue's Knapsack The Build goes as follows, the black spear represents the various tiers. T1 Bandits Coin purse, T2 Thieves Satchel

T1item 3599 + item 1042 = T2item 3599 T2item 3599 + item 3123 = T3item 3599

T1 Stats:

  • 2 gold per 10 seconds | + 5 AD | + 5% AS Unique Passive - Auto attacks on enemy champions grant stacks of loot. At 8 stacks, grants you and an ally 50 Gold and 50 HP (20 Second Cool down)

T2 Stats:

  • 2 gold per 10 seconds | + 20 AD | + 20% AS Unique Passive - At 10 stacks, grants you and an ally 75 gold and 100 HP (20 Second cooldown)

T3 Stats:

  • 2 gold per 10 seconds | + 50 AD | + 50% AS | + 10% CDR Unique Passive - At 10 stacks, grants you and an ally 75 gold and 100 HP (20 Second cooldown) Unique Passive - Basic attacks deal bonus bleed damage over time based on AD. You are healed for the damage dealt. Unique Active - Grant you and your ally bonus bleed damage on auto attacks for 10 seconds, you and your ally are additionally healed for the bleed damage dealt (40 Second cooldown)

This is obviously not very balanced but hey it's just an idea. Please let me know what you think

ADDITION #1

Eye of the Order:

T2item 3599 + item 2049 = T3v2item 3599

T3v2 Stats:

  • 2 gold per 10 seconds | + 25 AD | + 25% AS | + 200 HP Unique Passive - At 10 stacks, grants you and an ally 75 gold and 100 HP (20 Second cooldown Unique Passive - Basic attacks steal armor based on AD Unique Passive - Grants you and your ally 10 additional magic damage on auto attacks. Unique Active - Warding

NOTE - Upon further review, all Tiers were given a 20 second cooldown. NOTE - Killing an enemy unit OR champion will disable ALL passives for 20 seconds. This will not only prevent the support from taking CS, but will prevent them from taking kills. NOTE - Melee champions gain 2 stacks per auto instead of 1.

I'm a bit worried on the power of it on, say, Caitlyn. You have amazing zoning capability, but, as a support with this item, you suffer NO downside to harassing -- you aren't passing up opportunities to farm, after all.

So you get about 1 attack every 2 seconds, which you'll hit an opponent with. That's 50 gold every 16 seconds, plus 2 gold per 10 seconds, or 200 gold per minute of constant harass.

This means that, after 10 minutes (assuming nothing happens in the first two minutes of the game) this item can earn you a maximum of 1600 gold from the first tier.

The other support items, meanwhile, average about 300-500 gold depending on how often you proc them.


This item DEFINITELY needs an internal cooldown, basically.

Just a thought, but this item might be improved by giving double stacks earned to melee champs. It would make it much more viable for things like trundle support.

sounds like a lot of easy money to me. Maybe make it even closer to spellthiefs edge. the way it is now i think it will generate you far too much gold far too easily. also it isnt all that supporty except the gold heal passive. At least for t3 there should be some supportive active. maybe change the t3 passive to an active you can cast on your adc.
