That moment when you look over your old match history

I built Tracker's Knife so incredibly often on Kindred and Elise, and I started losing so much more on them after it was removed. Looking back on it... my playstyle relied wayyyy to much on that item.

Has anyone else's performance tanked heavily after an item was removed/heavily reworked? I think the first time I had a dip was when Devourer went bye bye, but that one didn't last as long as the Tracker's loss appears to be lasting for me.

Same thing happens to champ mains who are actually bad at the game but rely on a champion being overpowered enough to overcome their actual skill being a whole tier below a fill player of the same rank.

So, you miss Tracker's Knife.

Are you sure you are not LCK ?

Banner of Command was a core item on Yorick. Then they overbuffed it and it became core on every support and top laner.

Then they changed it (aka overbuff number 2) and it became core on literally everyone.

Then they removed it. Maybe change it back to the first case where it was a niche pick on a few champs? Nah, just remove it.

O well.

Well there was one hell of a shift in top lane when Banner of Command got removed lmao.

I know my performance took a dip once Riot started messing shit up with Top lane. First killing tanks, then killing juggernauts, reworking Aatrox, killing Aatrox. Im stuck as a Sylas 1 trick at this point because my champ pool is dead.

Dude. I used to play yorick support back when his ghouls hadn't been nerfed yet, banner of command was in the game, zz'rot was cheaper, ruby sightstone existed.

I use to play a lot of Jayce and Vladimir top but after the change where Jayce doesn't get tear and WotA being removed I can't play them the same way

Similar story on Udyr. Every jungle rework has made Udyr win rates tank. You're pretty much forced to either go hard on lanes early, or fall behind, and half of the champs he used to kill now kill him, because of the slows implemented over time and changes to attack mechanics, like Ashe.
