Supports might not need the same amount of stats that other roles need, but they still need a significant amount. And an item like this, just like most of the intended "support"-items, just don't provide anything substantial. It's fine for the items to focus on utility and have the stats be secondary, but the stats still need to at a certain minimum to be helpfull.

By comparison take solari's locket. The thing provides helpfull bonusses to your team, but it is also a decent item on its own providing the wearer with decent stats, going as far as to be viable as the core MR-item in a build. THAT is a good supportive item. By comparison Zeke's harbinger is sorely lacking.

As for being able to keep the buff on for 3 minutes, the moment someone attacks the thing is gone, so unless you're going to expect your ally to no longer farm it'l be triggered early... not to mention that it essentially chains you to that ally, making it a very bad idea to go anywhere without him unless you rapidly switch to whom you chain (at least that seems to be possible, so yay for that). On the whole the specific mechanic is just awkward and I expect it to end up in a similar situation as ardent censer really really niche...
