Riot instead of adding Stormrazor, why not add back some of the removed Marksman items?

The release of Stormrazor will be like the day when Duskblade was changed during patch V7.14. EVERYONE is going to be abusing this item because of free Critical Strike, even those who don't use Critical Strike.

Why not bring back the removed items instead? That were actually really healthy as well.


item 3122 Wicked Hatchet

Cost: 1200g

+20 Attack Damage +10% Critical Strike Chance

  • UNIQUE Passive: Critical Strikes cause your target to bleed for an additional 60% of your bonus Attack Damage as magic damage over 3 seconds.

Builds into:

item 3185 The Lightbringer item 3104 Lord Van Damm's Pillager


item 3185 The Lightbringer

Cost: 2350g

+30 Attack Damage +30% Critical Strike Chance

  • UNIQUE Passive: Critical Strikes cause enemies to bleed for an additional 90% of bonus Attack Damage as magic damage over 3 seconds and reveal them for the duration.
  • UNIQUE Passive - Trap Detection: Nearby stealthed enemy traps are revealed.
  • UNIQUE Active - Hunter's Sight: A stealth-detecting mist grants vision in the target area for 5 seconds, revealing enemy champions that enter for 3 seconds (60 second cooldown).

item 3104 Lord Van Damm's Pillager

Cost: 3000g

+300 Health +50 Attack Damage +10% Cooldown Reduction

  • UNIQUE Passive: Critical Strikes cause enemies to bleed for an additional 90% of bonus Attack Damage as magic damage over 3 seconds and reveal them for the duration.

(Needs a new additional passive since it was an item for Twisted Treeline specifically)


Ofcourse I see that some of these items would have to have some stats tweaked a bit. But why were these items removed? I can see them being a more healthy alternative instead of Stormrazor because it looks like just another excuse to buff Assassins even more as others have said it as well.

Personally I don't think League needs a Duskblade for ADCS. Especially one that only costs 2350 gold.

I'm all for the other ones though. Maybe give Lord Van Damms like 20% crit or something. You could pair it with the new IE and one of the zeal items and get 100% crit instead of getting two zeal items and you go over (120% crit).

pillager was a bruiser item, not an adc item.

but holy hell, i wanted a item 3122 item for ages. just ad, crit and the bleed passive. thats honestly what they should have done with the new infinity edge, instead of the true damage conversion.

Pillager is currently a bruiser item (again), being a mix of Cleaver, Red Buff, and Sunfire. OP listed its current stats, but Pillager was previously an ADC item. It was essentially an IE replacement, with first crit-damage and then crit-bleed.
