I like the direction they're going with support itemization, but I'd like to see something a little more exciting that really effective gold generating/ laning items. Again, strong mid-game items that don't upgrade or are insanely expensive to upgrade, or more powerful consumables/ items with really long cooldowns diminishing returns.

Still sad that riot wants players to charge q on janna:

Howling Gale ( Q )

AP ratio reduced from 0.75 to 0.35
Now has a 0.1 AP per second ratio on the charge duration
Bonus damage for charging decreased from 20/30/40/50/60 to 14/20/25/30/35

And then they decrease the bonus damage for charging anyway.It just makes support janna do even less damage and straight up nerfs ap janna. What's more it still costs too much mana, and the only reason it was so expensive is that it did big damage a long time ago. I get that they want supports to build ap, but ruining all their ratios cements them in the support role and makes them crappy everywhere else. Since at any time there is likely to be a few top tier supports if the rest can only be played as supports riot is pushing champions into the never picked status.

Whats the point of nerfing her AP ratios right when supports are supposed to finally get gold?

Its like, if she got +.1 s Knockup per 10 AP in return...then we have something (something overpowered).

actually somethings not right:
Philosher’s Stone will cost 850 chalice 880 which is 1730 total, but crucible is 1600.

It would be interesting to see the new items on Soraka though. Soraka with heal summoner, crucible, martyr's call,* + her w and r would have 5 (9 if you count ult Aoe) Heals at hand should a fight start. You could even throw in a locket shield too for 6 (14).

+ Show Spoiler [*] +
Martyr’s Call

Builds out of Executioner’s Emblem and Ruby Crystal
Grants 400 Health and 25 HP/5
Retains the Soul Tithe Passive from Reaper’s Emblem
Unique Active – Healthbomb: Consumes 20% of your current Health to shield target ally for 10% of your maximum Health for 4 seconds. After 4 seconds, the target explodes, dealing 10% of your maximum Health as magic damage in an area.

Because she's pretty fotm in high elo soloque, where Riven can shine because she depends on player knowledge more than a lot of champions.

Riven has been fotm in high elo solo q since Best Riven NA and other Riven only players became a thing, which was like what? Half a year or more now? She hasn't been touched by Riot for many months and has very little impact on the pro scene too.

I guess she snowballs solo q games pretty hard while looking flashy I suppose.

Riven is a good and fun champ, but I'd hardly say she's OP. If teams stay reasonably even and you lock her down during a teamfight she dies pretty easily. She does good damage, but to compensate she is pretty squishy compared to a lot of other tops and doesn't have amazing diving ability. If Riven gets ahead it sucks and she can 1v3 if you walk in one or two at a time, but otherwise its not a big deal. I mean, if you play like Renekton you might not be as flashy but you'll be a pretty scary mother even without snowballing.

She suffers (or rather benefits) from only being gated by cooldowns like other manaless champs. Maybe if Riot even did something like capping CDR for manaless champs at like 30% or giving it diminishing returns it would help.

I don't understand why they want Janna to charge her tornado so much. It emphasises the unfun part of her kit (the insta waveclear turtle) and lowers the fun parts (clutch cc).
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.

Riven isn't even remotely squishy unless you're bursting her very hard, her shield gives her incredibly deceptive amounts of hp in skirmishes which lets her turn ridiculous 1v3s and get away from a lot of things that should kill her.

Or they could do the smart thing, and give manaless champs Energy at the very least, and mana under ideal circumstances.

Riven's shield ratio already took a nerf to the face. Then her ult cd got changed. I guess another nerf is likely though.

U guys sure she's not in pro games?

I feel like if she's been in pro games then the only thing protecting her is that she's been nerfed so much already.

Nah, Riven has been fotm since that Asian dude named Faker played her on NA soloq then shat on people in tournament. Before that Riven is popular, but not more than Rek or Shen and stuffs.
