Fixing Targon's Items

I'm all for supports having more gold income.  It's awesome for a support player like myself to be able to buy more items and not have to spend so much gold on wards.

But Relic Shield, Targon's Brace and Face of the Mountain shouldn't be so strong that they make jungling less preferable to a duo top after buffs.  ADCs shouldn't be getting it with regular consistency to make their supports have almost carry level income.

I don't think that the item should get nerfed by itself, it's a fun item and very interesting to use.  But getting two Taron's in lane shouldn't be a viable option.

So, I propose that if you have a Targon's item, you cannot benefit from the Spoils of War passive that Targon's have.

In other words change the item description from this:

UNIQUE - SPOILS OF WAR:  Basic attacks execute minions below 200 (+100% AD) health. This effect requires a nearby allied champion to trigger. Recharges every 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 2 charges. Killing a minion while Spoils of War is available heals the nearest allied champion for 2% of your maximum health and grants them gold equal to the kill plus 5.

To something like this:

UNIQUE - SPOILS OF WAR:  Basic attacks execute minions below 200 (+100% AD) health. This effect requires a nearby allied champion to trigger. Recharges every 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 2 charges. Killing a minion while Spoils of War is available heals the nearest allied champion that doesn't own a Relic Shield, Targon's Brace or Face of the Mountain for 2% of your maximum health and grants them gold equal to the kill plus 5.

This keeps Targon's items as a viable support option without making double Targon's lanes so strong, or even viable.
