Are slot inefficient items really that desirable for supports? I mean sure it's a good way to make sure that laners dont buy them, but when I play support I actually feel kinda starved for item slots, once you get boots + sightstone + philostone + green ward + pink ward + kindlegem you actually have your 6 slots filled already.

I'd rather they dramatically buff the healing/mana return you receive when killing a large creep. That solves the sustain problem without tying it to an item or champion (which can be very overpowered), and increases the value of counter-jungling/controlling the jungle.

If this had been at the start of Season 3 I'd have noted that Riot wanted to avoid making potentially toxic junglers viable (e.g. Eve) by making sustain an issue, but at this point almost any champion can jungle if they get a solid Smiteless leash and rush the second buff, so it's pretty moot unless Riot kills that somehow.

I agree that there can be players that will be strong regardless, but I also think it has very little to do with mechanics.

The difference between playing TF well and playing Orianna well has very little to do with mechanical proficiency on the heroes. I think Misaya is perfectly fine at playing Orianna mechanically, it's just that his mindset as an AP player simply does not lead to him doing the right thing at the right time.

On some level every player has certain ways they like to play the game, and they will develop an understanding of how to play heroes that fit that playstyle on a subconscious level. "What should I be doing" is something that, at that point, ties into their instinctual understanding of how they are comfortable playing the game.

Obviously a player can learn on a conscious level the nuances of playing a champ outside their playstyle, but no matter what, this will simply never be as natural as their comfort champs.
