I'm kind of annoyed about them, to be honest. When supports start roaming as early as level 5, there is effectively almost no laning phase.

I think they are simply too effective and they restrict too many options. Their lack of any stats also make them suitable for only tanks, further restricting supports.

I have a proposal: A set of three items designed for supports.

All of them cost 800/1700/2600.

Watcher's Sword: +5/10/15 protections and +100/200/300 health. +15/20/25 physical power.

Passively grants +5 gold per 5.

Watcher's Aegis: +18/24/30 protections and +100/200/300 health. +20/30/40% CC reduction.

Passively grants +5 gold per 5.

Watcher's Staff: +5/10/15 protections and +100/200/300 health. +30/40/50 magical power.

Passively grants +5 gold per 5.

If you noticed, none of these items have movement speed and are rather expensive. Since we all know that the supports would begin roaming the instant they finished these items, this is an incentive to stay in lane and weaken the mobility of a roaming support.

In addition, this can be considered an indirect buff to Aphrodite.

This won't affect the actual impact of a roaming support, it's just a way to extend the laning phase a bit longer, which I think will bring some more order and sanity to this game. I've seen the laning phase dissolve around the five minute mark. I'm fine with early roaming, but not THAT early.

I like those idea. midas' boots are annoying, especially when combined with wather's gift. It makes supports farm as good as a laner without actually needing to be in the lane to get gold.

Well, I made this to extend the laning phase and give some more flexibility in choosing a support. I'm honestly fine with the idea of taking the last hit bonus.

Don't forget that while they will get bonus gold even while roaming, they won't get any XP.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
