I think Akali and Shaco's changes actually significantly improved their gameplay, even if they didn't address all of their issues. Akali in particular felt like she could survive much better in lane, and was much less spammy in fights.

I feel the support itemization changes aren't really going to change the system as a whole, even if they do address some issues. I'm not a big fan of making support items cheaper, and the stats on many of them, including the newer items, are a diffuse mess. With that said, I'm glad Aegis lost its aura in favor of stronger stats, even if the actual item is fairly boring now, and I think both Knight's Vow and Redempion are a lot of fun. Supports aren't going to be overhauled, but they'll have more diverse options, which is good.
