I'm actually really excited that Supports sound like they feel like a new class, rather than a weaker-mage; particularly that each support sounds like they scale well with different items. Soraka now sounds like a Ryze build would do wonders; and Taric and Leona now scale more similarly to Rammus/Galio and are encouraged to build hyper tanky.

In fact, the only support who still doesn't appeal to me is Nami. Her burst is already one of the lowest compared to Lulu or Sona (because of her ranged stun, you can't have that utility and do damage); but she lacks the tankiness of Leona or Taric. She lacks the constant disengage/shielding that Janna offers. She's sort of like a Soraka that gives offensive buffs instead of defensive buffs; but you can't make "clutch plays" with offensive buffs (like Soraka can heal someone) so the "fun factor" only exists if you enjoy the "proud parent" aspect (since it's all up to your carry to do the work). Compared to the troll AP Sorakas, AP Jannas and AP Lulus - AP Nami's damage is as bad as AP Leona (it scales badly; even on live). So to see that her changes only kick in when she has 200+ AP doesn't make me want to play her. Don't get me wrong - Nami's a nice support to have if someone else is playing her. But... AGH. Sorry, she's just the only champion I cannot bring myself to enjoy and that fact peeves me.
