I see your point with the fact that the two supports would be under levelled and lacking in gold. I was hoping that frequent champion kills would compensate for the lack of xp/gold farming would have made up. Maybe through the use of Sage on the supports and the increased gp10 masteries they would be able to keep up?

It's true the jungler would get ahead by having a free jungle. This is a problem that cannot be avoided, or at least I haven't figured a way around it quite yet. One poor way of solving the problem would be to have one of the supports patrol the jungle and farm the golems, wraiths and wolves every so often.

I see where the third point could become a problem. Though I was hoping top and bot lanes would scale well without the need for too many items, it still puts 4 damage dealers against 3, making team fights near impossible. This is unless one of the fellow supports is offensive as well, building damage to help set up kills more quickly. This is why I think Ahri would perform well in this playstyle; good CC but also good damage output. High mobility would also help out with reaching bottom lane and manoeuvring the jungle.

I'll definitely consider what you have said should I try out this method. Clearly a lot more work has still to be done if this is ever to be viable.
