How about we DON'T encourage more Support Annies

unless you're willing to nerf her scaling on all her damage to bring her damage more in line with supports so that she's not just irritatingly powerful (and MAYBE buff her bases... though i think she doesn't need that). Seriously, the only real reason to pick her as a support is for kill lanes, which are just terrible to go against. Giving her a sheild would make her have more of a reason to be down there, which most support mains haaaaaaaaaaaate.
