Items that are in need of transitions
Hello to anyone who is reading this, as you might know items within the game can be made into something else. In this season, the item "Catalyst of the Protector" had received a new item to be built into ("Righteous Glory"). In this thread, I will be pointing out items that I think needs to have more transition to be made into. (Note: I am mainly focusing on Summoner's Rift.)
One of items that are in need of a transition is the "Phage". To those who are familiar with this item, it is one of the items that is built into the "Trinity Force". http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Phage
- Item(s) built from the Phage - Available on all maps - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Trinity_Force Available on CS and HA - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Entropy
The problem is that the "Phage" does not have much transitions besides the "Trinity Force" and the "Entropy" . I find this item passive to be very useful, but wasted as it can only be made into a "Trinity Force" or "Entropy". I recommend that Riot should make a new item for the Phage to be built into. There are several reasons why they should. 1 - Trinity Force is not always built due to the cost of the item (3703g). 2 - There are better items to take place over a Trinity Force. 3 - Certain champions that can utilize the Trinity Force does not use mana in which it is sort of a waste to build.
-Ideas for the Phage- Item name: "Endeavor"; Stats: +450-500 HP, +35-40 Attack Damage, 100% Base Health Regen; Unique Passive: Same as the "Phage", Unique Active: The user will be cured of slows and immune to slows, and gain 60 movement speed for 2.5 seconds. (90 second cooldown), Recipe: "Phage" + "Crystalline Bracer" (Work in Progress)
Another item that I would like to have another transition is the "Quicksilver Sash". This is a very useful item known to many for its active. The problem is that on Summoner's Rift, the only transition is the "Mercurial Scimitar". http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Quicksilver_Sash -Item(s) built from the Quicksilver Sash- Available on SR and HA - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Mercurial_Scimitar Available on TT and CS - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Dervish_Blade
The cost for the "Mercurial Scimitar" in total is 3700g which is quite a lot. Though I know this is probably for the sake of balance, but I think that the "Quicksilver Sash" needs to have another transition in which it is more of a defensive item rather than an offensive item.
Another item that I think needs transitions or rather need to be more involved in other recipes, is the "Recurve Bow". This item is known for being made into the "Runaan's Hurricane" and the "Wit's End". http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Recurve_Bow -Items build from the Recurve Bow- Available on all maps - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Runaan%27s_Hurricane , http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Wit%27s_End
The problem are the items that it is built into which are uncommonly built. Because of that and the fact that there are better items to purchase over these, the "Recurve Bow" has no other involvement in recipes. Overall, what I think the "Recurve Bow" need is to be more involved in other recipes.
-Ideas for Recurve Bow- One recipe that would fit for the "Recurve Bow" is the "Guinsoo's Rageblade" which would explain the passive of the item.
