User blog comment:Sagee Prime/Nunu... and the future of supports/@comment-3276188-20120819011011/@comment-3323227-20120819014821

Yeah currently RIOT is looking to add AP ratios to support champions utility scaling. Like janna's AD on her shield or Nunu's attackspeed/movement speed buff, and Taric's Armor Aura.

I think this is a bad way to go and that they should add a third stat for support/utility effects while keeping AP ratios for damage abilities and making heals/shields scale from partial AP and well with the new stat. All the while I think the utility on their skills should be nerfed a little to compensate the new scaling and the AP ratios on damage skills should be buffed.
