Since we were talking about Hydra and whatnot earlier, I was watching Meteos' stream sometime within the last month and he said you can use hydra during K6's jump.

As a newer player I'm curious how many other people deal with the pain of having only 2 rune pages and having to pick between cool heroes or having a functional early game.
Cold hard cash is typically the answer. But I'm a filthy casual so I just buy fun heroes 
I mean it depends on how you feel about spending cash on a game you can optionally play for free, but if you do the math based on a 975 champion, the rune page bundle gives you about 4x the ip worth that you normally get.
tl;dr if you are ok with the idea of buying RP, the rune page bundle is the best possible deal in the store, cheaper even than on sale champions.

With vision being the #1 priority for every support in the current meta is there any reason why clairvoyance isn't about to become standard on supports again?

unless you have an overwhelming pick advantage bot, exhaust/heal have the potential to straight up win the lane via allin

bo2 group stages are so good, then later in the tournament one side can get choice of their side more often because of seed rather than gamelength. Gamelength is a bit silly.

How does that work then? Does it do the damage at the landing location or at the point you hit it midair?

I think he means Championship Riven.

You're giving away a great deal of power by not having an offensive summoner like ignite or exhaust.

God I wished she saw more play. She like never loses lane, even if she can't win it. Hell I run Morg jungle in normal games. I wonder why no lcs team tries support Morgana against all that Ashe/Zyra shit. Cockblock the initiations errytime with pro reflexes

Hmmmmmmmm.
I have these AS/armour/MR/armour and AS/armour/MR/MR pages, and I'm thinking that I haven't used them in awhile. Even on Irelia, I use the exact same but with AD for easier last-hitting. That's what I was using at some point during s2 in "hard" lanes, but since then her sustain was halved itemisation nerfed too, new, stronger champions came out, and people have generally been more aggressive at early levels, when Hiten isn't all that strong.
Not sure if it'd be worth it to use 2 pages for hard match-ups for a single champ (and I play her less than Jax). I may keep the armour one because I use armour quints on Naut rather than MS (helps with keeping his shield up and thus clearing faster/more safely) but I wonder if AS marks are the prefered ones for a lot of off-lane champions? Or if an Irelia player here can assure me that they're strictly superior to AD and I should keep it, but I wasn't under that impression.
Gonna try a second support rune page with Spellsy's MR/armour/scaling mp5/gp10 too. I wonder if the mp5 will change much but I'll see once in game.
(Also Diana + 2x 1350 champs (including Teemo, after so long), MR marks and scaling mp5 glyphs is super expensive. >>)

Technically he can do pretty much anything during his jump (like Tristana), his W was specifically blocked.

If you could get away with using CV instead of buying extra wards the money you save could go into one of those support items.
Can you imagine a scenario where CV+Locket is better than 20 wards? (cost varies). I can definitely see this coming into flavor if the 2v1 meta stalls out with Riots new changes. It would lengthen the laning phase allowing more time for supports to accrue gold before vision becomes invaluable. The challenge is: can you delay wards until your support item is completed? This is where I think CV might come back into play to reduce the advantage in wards your opposing support has.
If the enemy team fails to capitalize on their vision advantage before you complete your (insert support item here) then your support will hold a slight advantage over the remainder of the game. Extending the laning phase brings this style of play closer to viable which is why I think its more effective in soloQ where RSS is more than enough wards to guard your own lane.
My other thought on support items is to make them slightly more cost-efficient AND slightly less slot-efficient. That way supports will not sacrifice as many wards in order to help the team with auras.
edit- You don't have to forgo extra wards completely until you finish aegis for example. Just skimp on wards while you piecemeal an item together. Sprinkle in a pink or two.

Barrier is a lot of offensive power as well wtf.It reduces kill potential on supp but it allows you to go in super safely.

You're giving away a great deal of power by not having an offensive summoner like ignite or exhaust. But so does almost every ADC in the current meta when they take barrier. Barrier, Exhaust, Ignite all have combat applications offensively and defensively. CV gives you valuable intel, but nothing once the rumbling actually starts, and so loses out pretty hard.
