Iffem, you pointed out part of the dramatic conundrum of the supports: they're off-picks because they lack proper support itemization and no one is going to make items for off-picks.

I'm fully aware that if the support items are too good, the marksmen and fighters will pick them instead, but if you place proper gates that makes those items subpar for carries but good for supports, something can surface. I know the Tribute passive disable is one of them, but is not enough considering the mid mage with spamming that happened a few months ago. It needs to hit that sweetspot that I hope it exists so I can finally play the support I want/I think fits the team comp the best without censoring myself based on what type of scalings it has.
