Meh, the damage remains a relevant problem, though its an issue all supports suffer from. In between the massive damage output the damage dealers do and the utter lack of anything offensive supports get you end up being utterly irrelvant for the most part when it comes to damage, which is infuriating... And in the case of bard it's just silly. Those few meep powered attacks are pretty decent, but after that you might as wel AFK because your normal attacks and Q just don't do anything....

Support's need to have "relevant" damage. Admittadly given riot's obsession with freedom it won't ever happen, even if they ever accept that champions need to have relevant stats in offense and defense regardless of their role (e.g. it's equally ridiculous that squishies can be killed in under half a second). Any item or mechanic theyd insert to make supports damage relevant would immeadiatly be abused to high heavens by every other role as long as they refuse to add in restrictions to the thing...
