[Lucid:]

I completely disagree with taking kills as a support. Unless it's obvious that your carry isn't going to get it (They're dead, they will be dead if you don't blow all your damage immediately, or they're getting away and you are the ONLY person who can get the kill), the support should not be getting a kill. A half-decent support will know to run GP10 runes and masteriesfor income. The quints are hecka cheap. I don't have the seals yet because I would need to buy both those and armor marks, and the amount of gold is much smaller than the quints and not worth the IP unless you have a lot more rune pages than I do. But with a single GP10 item and an assist or two, I have enough money for basic support items. If I get 2 GP10 items, I'm rolling in dough and usually have more than enough money to buy really fancy items for my team. If we're getting crushed so bad that I can't afford so much as a sightstone and boots, then my carry is even further behind than I am and needs the kill gold MUCH more than I do.

Also, sounds like the patch is getting reversed. I have a sad. I was really looking forward to playing Karma. Hopefully they get everything fixed soon.
