Ohmwrecker is "win more" item, than anything else. By the time, say, an average support can afford it it's already useless.

Zephyr, I have no idea why would they remove it. I always buy it as a swap for boots on ADC if the game goes long enough (sometimes outright skipping upgrading boots) and always when playing 3v3 with AD.

zephyr is getting removed because it's a trap item. the people who buy zephyr almost always lose.

Ohmwrecker stays because it's a niche purpose item. players who buy it aren't guaranteed to lose or win.

Uhm, are you just repeating what Riot posted, cause Zephyr is most definitely not a trap item. Buying Zephyr does not affect winrate by any means. Same with Ohmwrecker.

You just called it a trap item.
