@Riot Starting Items seen in Redmercy Video

Redmercy posted a gameplay video that was apparently recorded at Riot on a test server and it showed some items in the shop that aren't on the PBE. The gems look like stat gems that mimic the stat shards for testing, but we also saw a 350g machine gun item and what I'm assuming is Doran's Dagger. Are those two items being tested currently as potential new starting items and are they going to be added at some point this season? Doran's Dagger specifically could be a great starting item for a LOT of champions and I would love to see it.

Well the gems and other free items are probably just like in game editing tools in a way (kinda like sand boxy) and the 350 item dunno maybe. They did mention awhile back that they where testing new starting items to add diversity.

They might just be for testing purposes. Maybe they do something that wasn't installed properly or finished yet (like maybe this was their way to set various rune combinations without the client being updated to support them.)

Machine gun looks like a new starting item they're testing, whether or not it does get released.
