Chalice really wasn't a great item on supports. Boosted mana regen is nice, but you know what's nicer? Getting an Aegis for better exchanges in lane or building a surelyia's to take advantage of out-of-position enemies or to avoid potential ganks.

You can get by on regen runes, masteries, and philo as long as you're not spamming. Use your mana wisely so you can spend your gold on more important stats that force multiply your team instead of using chalice like a crutch.

BUT S3 changes this and Crucible will almost certainly be a must have late game item on supports.
