Locket of the Iron Solari — the Support's Team Shield
2,200gold
Activate to shield nearby allies from damage
Locket of the Iron Solari is the team-shield item: patch 26.5 set its shield at 290 to 360, scaling from level 8, because Bandlepipes was crowding it out of the support's first slot. For 2,200 gold it also gives 200 Health, 30 Armor, 30 Magic Resist and 10 Ability Haste, and supports bought 99.1% of them.

Why, in Riot's words
Bandlepipes has been a well received addition for first-slot support tanks (and others who don’t really want AP) but it’s overshadowing first-slot Locket more than we’d like. We’re choosing to front-load some of Locket’s power so that it looks more attractive as the first purchase, while keeping its later-game power pretty similar.
