i feel like the pickpocket buff to melee supports is still useful.

Leona: you are gonna q them to get your full combo anyways

Taric: AA's will give you needed mana

Sej: you attack to slow

Alistar: when you pulverise headbut, you could probably fit an AA in there

Blitz: grab,punch combo now gives you money

really all melee supports have some incentive to AA normally, combined with the fact that they will already be risking their lives during small skirmishes with the opposing bot lane.

i think that melee supports reflect a more agressive lane in game, but a more risky lane as well. This buff to melee supports reflects this, where it can be more rewarding than a ranged support, but also riskier.
