Why isn't this item chosen more often? It has a easy build path, is cheap for supports (2400 gold), is almost 100% gold efficent (not counting passive+active, and the gold you'll gain from active.) IN fact, you can get this + a standard income item (Icefang, Relic, Coin) And gain money much faster than other supports. You can even splitpush or stall a push, or even divert an enemy away from the fight. The stats are very good (80 AP, 20% CDR.) It gives good stats for supports, Has a great active for supports (You can apply lane pressure and you gain gold for it), And even mids can leave it at another lane or have it push their lane. Someone like heim or malz can pick it up easily, and it won't be useless to swap out later since it'll easily generate enough gold to offset the sell cost, and it empowers their minion and pushing (Which is rather risky on heim if he has to move his turret nest up 1 turret at a time, which can leave him vulenerably.) Is it just the bad stigma associated with it or is there another genuine reason?
