Make GA a defense only item. (Like it used to be)
Champions shouldn't get their damage buffed by building a defense item that allows you to ignore 1 death.
I'd really love it riot if you would pump the brakes on the offence so we can get some game diversity.
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesSo you want Tanks & long-ranged AP mages to build it now?
Tanks has access to Stoneplate for more inner defensive stats & mages has both a spell-shield & Zhonyas. Giving them access to GA is just over the line.
Sir Saltarin3 votesNo Mages would buy old GA, they never did and wouldn't do it if it was reverted.
BlueNinja891 votesI have been playing a lot of Ziggs Mid lately and, to be perfectly honest, I think that if GA was ever reverted I would consider building this alongside Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil. (Especially in those games with assassins.)
GigglesO1 votesThats because assassins ruin the balance of the game for the rest of the classes.
BlueNinja892 votesI remember when GA gave Armor and Magic Resistance instead of Armor and Attack Damage.
It was really fun playing a tank at the time but not so fun playing against a tank because every tank would build this item.
With this version of GA, you could run into the enemy team, kill a backline damage dealer, die, resurrect and then run away.
Just imagine the current version of Cho'Gath with that GA plus all of the other items that he usually builds.
Riot just changed GA so that it appealed more to the type of champion that they wanted to build it. Squishy, high attack damage dealers.
GigglesO1 votesAnd now it isn't fun because the adc just pops back up and continues to nuke your whole team. It should be more of a anyone can build it. Why give all the good shit besides zhonyas to ad champions.
BlueNinja891 votesAt least squishy AD champions can be bursted down quickly if not ignored. Tanks are a much different story.
Of course, you do have your bruisers like Darius and Riven that probably build this, but then maybe you should consider using their resurrection time to run away if you are on low health.
CLG Factor1 votesimo GA is just the ad version of hourglass, but worse because you actually have to die, and it always procs on death, and it doesn't build from a defensive item as good as seekers armguard.
