I really like the new itemization options we're getting peeks of here. They all seem like they get their own effect, which I think is the first step towards a DotA-ish itemized game of which I think LoL desperatedly needs to catch a hint of.

"Oh, you're support? Well... You can buy wards and support items, that's basically how you itemize. I guess one of them has a decent active."

In DotA/DotA 2/HoN a fed and skilled support will shut down the enemy team and in LoL, even though I arguably find them the highest role to play (solo queue for sure), they just don't get to make such a big impact.

Seriously want a cyclone staff. I'd say maybe even a Force Staff but they seem to want to avoid any item that will let someone else potentially grief, so that option is a bit gone. I would love to see more support style items though. Items with small stats but a disable (like Sheep Stick or Cyclone Staff) or maybe an item that can cast a shield onto someone, things like that. Something that would appeal to supports for the utility reasons and dissuade the "lol ward machine" meta (though personally I want all gp10 items to go to hell for that same reason).
