Riot is considering ways to improve League of Legends now that the Patch 13.1B update is complete. Although the micro patch was released recently, it is critical that they continue to work on the impending PBE patch.
In anticipation of Patch 13.3, Riot Phreak has published a new video detailing several Support improvements that will be available on the PBE soon. This update is scheduled for Patch 13.3, and it will involve considerable adjustments to broaden the role.

While Riot Phreak is not exactly sure how the update will turn out, he feels the adjustments are important. Riot Phreak feels the pool in solo queue is pretty balanced, which accounts for much of the rationale.
Champions including as Heimerdinger, Lulu, and even Ashe and Jhin have been dominating the support pool in professional play. To combat this, the new Support Changes will arrive during the upcoming PBE cycle and engage supports in the meta.
