can we change seekers armguard into something else?

currently it has absolutely no use except to be built into zhonyas hourglass. Can we just replace it with say...chain vest and be done with it? There's not really a reason for it to even be in the game as it does not build into anything useful except zhonyas nor does it become useful even when alone (like brutalizer does for a few champs).

Perhaps not chain vest but either replace it with another ingame item while tweaking zhonyas slightly, or make a whole new item like you did bami's cinder (though just replacing it would work better I think).

If I recall, the item was initially designed to allow AP Mids an early defensive item against the growing trend of AD Mid laners such as Talon. AD laners have the Hexdrinker for a solid anti-AP item, while AP vs AP usually went Chalice for mana & MR if they wanted an early defensive item. The Armguard filled something of an empty space, so that an AP who had to buy cloth/5 or just wanted an early defensive item had a good item that fit into their natural build path.

I think it's one of the first items you should buy as an AP mid against a Zed.

isnt it like the only item that has a single build path? should make it build into something else (with ap and defensive stats)
