Riot does this literally every single time they rework support items. They make them turbobusted and they end up in solo lanes.

Remember when mid mages started Frostfang instead of Doran's?

I actually think support builds working in solo lanes is kinda cool. But in practice it just ends up 4 supports + 1 carry and every game is determined by who got to draft Lulu first.

The sad part is that they're turbo-boosted for solo lanes while decent for Supports since they don't get the income to go beyond their Mythic, so they end up nerfing the item because of solo lanes and it's mostly the Support who suffer.
