Reminder that some of the best items in LoL history were in Black Market Brawlers

These items created diversity and a fun experience. Yes, they were clearly overtuned, but they truly opened up strategic doors. It was the first time in recent memory where you could have a team without an adc because DPS mages had tools to work with, or supporting actually felt useful. There were trade-offs and it never felt stale.

Why was Dead Man's Plate the only survivor?

Yeah, that's what made me so fucking pissed about Black Market Brawlers. Those items could've been in the fucking game and then balanced if it got too chaotic, but Riot is too fucking lazy to even implement good and fun items in the game anymore.

Trickster glass was amazing hahaha. One game I had my whole team buy it, and we all disguised ourselves as the adc. So hilarious. Even better when you are Katarina disguised as a squishy xD
