Am I the only one that thinks GA feels awkward?

I feel like Guardian angel feels awkward on almost any champion. The stats on it just don't match up with anyone well. Obviously, the passive is great, but thee 30 armor +40 attack damage.

You get 0 hp so it honestly doesn't do a lot as far as defensive, especially in today's meta, then you have 40 attack damage, which is a low amount slotted in. So you get tanks trying to get a bit more damage, but the armor rarely does much of anything on top of what they build. Then you get ADCs who build it, it's only 40 attack, but has revive, thing is armor does nothing because their entire champion has no HP.

It just feels inefficient and not really fitting on any champion as far as the stats go. Obviously, situationally the passive works well, particularly on some champions. The price isn't super high either but put it next to the Frozen Mallet. Yes, it costs a crazy amount, but it's better in every way, it offers WAY more survivability, with 10 less damage, but from an offensive perspective because of the slow it's more offensive than GA, and between the HP and slow which can also be defensive, it just offers more survivability.

Point being though, I feel like GA is a waste of space, I guess I could see buying it at some point, but then swapping it out at full build, but I always feel like I'm wasting a slot when using it. Also, there's an argument that frozen mallet is gold inefficient, but there's the same argument that GA is gold inefficient if you have to sell it at some point. Also, as far as ADCs go, unless your team is really on point, GA passive rarely saves them.

IDK, I liked the old GA, the new one just feels like it has a very awkward set of stats, is it just me?

They changed it from an item you can build on anyone to an item for ADCs and AD divers.

Considering I enjoyed building it on tanks, mages and support, I'm rather disappointed.

GA isn't meant for great offensive or defensive stats rather its a item for stopping Assassins from deleting ADC, because back when the old GA still exist, it was quite expensive to get and not a good item for ADC to rush for it.

GA on the other hand is really good for aggressive junglers or players that like to make plays. That's why I always rush GA 2nd or 3rd item to allow me to play more aggressive even tho there are bunch of scrubs that think its bad for me to rush GA lol because they're trash and don't know how to it work or how to play around it

And since GA is like way cheaper now, its a good use to take advantage of it now when no body gives a shit about it and don't know how to play around it
