@Meddler Assassin Itemization

I read "Quick Gameplay Thoughts" and noticed you stated you guys are looking into Assassin itemization, first off, thank you i'v been asking for this for quite awhile. But i hope you don't forget that there are plenty of AP Assassins too, their item's are the same as mages and they build roughly the same, their item's should be looked into as well.

Edit: Many stat's that an assassin would like to have are on AD Item's, Luden's Echo and Lichbane are the only AP items i can think of that give the stat's an assassin wants(Morrello's as well) when it comes to active effects though ProtoBelt and Gunblade are great for assassins, buuuuut mages build all of these item's as well. It would be nice to make Assassin item's for AP's be more geared towards giving them what an assassin wants.

Any items created for AP assassins will likely be poached by burst mages.

Not if it gives things only an assassin would want, when was the last time you saw Syndra getting Gunblade, Protobelt or Lichbane, Even Luden's. Those are all primarily assassin item's, Leblance and Ahri get a pass becuase their hybrid's.

Luden's Echo is most certainly not an assassin's item. The item has taken the place of Rabadon's Deathcap in the majority of mage builds as Deathcap is currently absolutely terrible.

Annie loves Protobelt, and Annie is also a stereotypical burst mage, she just happens to have a shorter range than Syndra which is why she prefers the item and Syndra does not.

Twisted Fate relies on Lich Bane to use the majority of his burst.

You cannot make an AP assassin item that will not see use by mages, that's just not a thing. The only item that I would suspect would actually be for AP assassins would be the sole flat magic penetration item, Haunting Guise, but AP assassins never build it.
