Guardian Angel in ARAM

Okay, let me preface this with the fact that I know why GA was removed originally years ago. It had the original MR/Armor and it was a bloody ridiculous item on tanks or bruisers, making them near unkillable when paired with other items (I'm looking at you, Warmog's).

The knee-jerk reaction might be "Ugh, another defensive item in League? We just got a breath of fresh air when Warmog's was removed for a while!" but hear me out; When you're an ADC and the enemy team has a Zed or Talon there's next to nothing you can do to prevent them from taking you from 100-0 without sacrificing a lot of offensive power. It sounds simple to buy one of the many other armor items in the game but what you lose is the opportunity to build something else that allows you to be effective, especially with how much ADCs are suffering at the moment.

I just got out of an ARAM game as Jinx. Not a ton of fun once Zed hit level 6. He just ran for me each time his ult was up and I'd pop barrier to stop him from destroying me but it didn't matter. He'd pull out all his damage, press R to get out and I had no way to counterplay it. I built DD to try and survive but it didn't matter. Past 15 minutes he didn't have to ult, he'd just get on top of me, I'm dead in less that 2 seconds and he got out.

Guardian Angel isn't the same item it used to be. It's more focused towards giving ADCs and other squishy AD champs the ability to survive an assassin's attempt on their life. It isn't great on tanks anymore. I highly doubt that it'd be broken on ARAM like it used to be. You can't just say "build an armor item" and call that a fix for that issue.

Anyways, rant over. Your thoughts? :P
