 * I think that your substantialy underestimating the strength of the cc removal. I know at the moment that it's an ideal group of stats for most supports (as opposed to tanks who go in a gold starved duo lane), but I don't believe that the item is being bought for the stats, purely for the active, and the active is of such a strength that as long as it's possible for a support to aquire it they will unless the stats are so bad that it makes them an active liability for the team, and even then it may still be a worthwhile trade off under certian circumstances.

This is very much correct. People are getting Mikael's on Thresh as well.

Removing the healing component was my way to shake this up - this should cut down at least part of the problem.
