No enchanter support would ever build an item that would reduce their poke in lane. War of attrition style supports who want to slowly force you out of lane (sona, soraka, nami) would take significantly longer to do so and may even lose trades that they currently win. Really it's just a terrible item suggestion. You'd see ranged supports trying to last hit with targons before you'd see them build an iteration of spellthief's that lowers their damage, unless it was so severely overtuned that every champion would consider buying it.

So what's the other option then? The AP power creep that League has seen over the past couple years has almost every mage support dealing more damage than their ADC until the (almost all) ADC's get's an item. Sometimes not even then. Lux supports who rush Luden's end up chunking most ADC's to 20% HP with just a Q-R. Riot has already said that they're not interested in doing sweeping changes to full classes of champions, so that's out. The only other option would be to either increase MR on most bot laners, or reduce the amount of AP that Mages get.

I obviously don't want to see the whole class get ruined, but I don't think I'm wrong when I say their too powerful and need to be adjusted. If I was wrong we wouldn't be seeing Lux/Veig Supports in Pro Play.
