Instead of removing Ohmwrecker altogether, how about we give it anew purpose!

Since Riot have come out and stated that they want to remove Ohmwrecker form the game because its so useless(and use the name on another item) I came up with something else we can do with the item.

**Ohmwrecker item 3056 ** Stats: 400 hp 50 armour 150% base health regeneration Buildpath & Cost: Raptor Cloak + Giants Belt + 800g Total 3000g

UNIQUE PASSIVE – POINT RUNNER: Builds up to 20% Movement Speed over 2 seconds while near turrets, fallen turrets and Void Gates.

UNIQUE ACTIVE – STAR'S BASTION: Summons a shield for 50-200 (+5% max health) health on an allied turret that grants 10-40 (+15% total attack damage) ad, 10-40 (+15% armour and magic resistance) resistances, 20-100% attackSpeed, and increases aggression range by 200 for 10 seconds.

(Turrets that have received this buff in the past 3 minutes cannot benefit from its effects) (4 min cooldown)(Removes stats from player for 10s when used)

This was an attempt to make Ohmwrecker THE anti-dive item with an anti seige component as well. Tanks like this item a lot because it aids in surviving lane phase, and allows them to provide additional pressure in dives. However, since upon its activation it removes all of its stats from the user, trying to survive a tower dive early on lanephase using this item will still be risky. Since it also gives no offensive stats, tanks are investing into surviving the lane as opposed to winning it. Additionally, since it gives no offensive stats, it's pasive cannnot be used opressively in the reverse scenario, and bruisers generally will not want to build this as a first item. During teamfights, because of their chaotic nature, there is a possibility it can be avoided altogether depending on where the fight moves to, and since the user has used the active on the tower, they have lost its defencive stats for the duration of that fight. Overall this item, in this iteration, has more balancing levers and can also be very effective in the right scenario.

As someone who uses item 3056 on his tank builds, well mainly in combination with item 3512 and item 3124 for fast towers even as a tank, I find it annoying that its not used more, since towers are the main objective of the friggin game. you cannot possibly win the a match without destroying at least 5 towers minimum, item 3056 is made to disable a tower making it a diving weapon, that ironically has the same effect as most champions that can dive you under turret at level 2-5 pre ult, I love its theme I love its ability to disable towers (though I would like it to be able to buff towers when used near allied turrets), obviously riot hasn't found a way to properly implement the ohmwrecker without removing the diver class entirely because no one wants to die to a turret but its even worse when you can get tower dived by a champion with less than 100 hp and they walk away like they never attacked you. if anything they need to rework how turrets function and acquire targets to make tower diving high risk high reward instead of low risk high reward in the case of many ahem "non-tank diver" champions

It's one of the least built items in the game. I'm surprised it's lasted this long tbh. They removed actual good items like HoG and Wriggle's Lantern, yet Ohmwrecker stayed in and stayed useless.
