He thinks it's a bad thing that supports don't gain any gold, but from my perspective, this is what i love about supports; being able to maximize and utilize yourself, without getting cs, and rely solely on your champion's kit. Meh, i guess from a wider perspective it's probably for the better, since like 70% of all supports have no idea what they're doing. People just won't accept the fact that boots5+sightstone+oracles is a core, and you should only focus on wards afterwards. This playstyle IS fun, but i can definitely see that some people would consider it a problem because of how the map is created (you can have pretty much full vision of one side of the map with 7-8 wards), but i still think making supports gold-dependant is a step in the wrong direction. But time will tell, i guess. | ||

I do think it's a problem that supports end up with the same items every game, because leaving them out of the itemization aspect of the game is not a good thing. But giving them item options that are competitive with things they are buying should be the way to accomplish this, as we've discussed many times. | ||

If they go through with just giving support more gold, then it will completely destroy the current meta. Champions like Jarvan, Malphite, Xin Zhao and Shen will be the new supports. They can act as pseudo-tanks with 2-3 items and have enough utility to be disruptive. They bring more mobility than current supports, and with early AD/ArPen runes will crush most AD/Supports in trades. The knock-on effect from there is that bot-lane becomes two bruisers because ADs don't bring enough early game to ever compete against bruisers. | ||

Imagine eleisa's miracle had an active that restored 10%hp/mana over 5 seconds with a minute cooldown,. Moderate to high impact, but pretty bad slot efficiency. I don't think he understands supports buy only wards because they are the highest impact items they can afford. And increasing gold flow to non-farmers is a bad fix to the problem. Real fix is to remedy the allocation of what gold they can get. | ||

I'd love to see more Shards of True Ice and Twin Shadows, but what's the point in getting them. The best contribution you can make is vision control. That's the bigger issue than income. | ||

That, and reworking support items. Needs more slot inefficiency in exchange for more impactful actives. | ||

While it's inelegant from a design perspective, given limits on potions already, there is precedent for limiting consumables per player. Means that while yes, support will grab sightstone+full wards whenever they can, alternate sources of wards (aka solo laners+ADC) is also needed for vision. Shifts the gold burden away from supports (and grants leeway for non-vision itemization) and the jungler onto the team as a whole. That, and reworking support items. Needs more slot inefficiency in exchange for more impactful actives. 5 greens, 5 pinks, and a sightstone is way more than a support can afford on one back anyway. You'd have to make the limit like 2 or 3 | ||

You'd have to make the limit like 2 or 3 I'd envision something along the lines of a buying cooldown (aka, 1 ward per 2 minutes or somesuch) per player, with a starting pool of ~4 or somesuch. If that can't be coded, then yes, a low cap on wards (2-3). Oracles also needs a rework. | ||

Like a shared ward pool with 10 wards and each player can buy two (green or pink). and only when those wards expire/are destroyed then that same member can buy another 2 ward again. This way if you want to have 10 wards on the map, then everybody must contribute that + sightstone would be nice. Might make junglers buy sightstones alot more often though and oracles / pinks would need some changes | ||
