If you wanna talk needless complexity, go right ahead and take a look at the current Utility Tree. Unlike Offense and Defense Trees, Utility doesn't have a directly beneficial effect. Being indirect in their effects, the only way to make them look balanced without making them walk all over the place is by making them situational. As said it before and I will say it again, Riot designed the Utility Tree to be something like an ability a Champion spends one point in and ignore it until later. It's there to be useful whether you put in even just one point. They said Utility Tree is for Supports and you really gonna hand them this cheap welfare check?
