Item Rework Concept: Guardian Angel Mk.3
**[DISCLAIMER #1: I came up with this for fun & to see what some people think about it. I understand there are going to be people who hate this Idea, but do leave some kind of constructive criticism please if you disagree with this post. I also think this should be in Concepts & Creations, but thought Gameplay would be a good place for it.] **
So earlier on today, I came up with a new version of Guardian Angel just for fun. Personally, I never really liked the direction they took the item as it became less of a Niche Item that could be used on a vast majority on the roster & now is pretty much mandatory on AD Champions that aren't pure tanks. One thing that came to mind when I decided to take this on was how in Season 8, there are Adaptive Runes that scale with either AD or AP. Which led me to think, what if we could somehow make this item a bit more appealing to other champions yet keep it away from tanks. By giving it back it's MR & making it's Damage Adaptive, it would give some AP Champions another defensive option besides Banshee's Veil
& Zhonya's Hourglass
.While at the same time, letting AD champions keep their Defensive tool. By keeping the Unique Passive unchanged, this item's Passive won't allow Tanks to do what they did back then (Champions like this guy
with a
bring back bad memories that I don't wish to relive) & it's defensive stats would be abysmal compared to other items that a tank would buy.

[DISCLAIMER #2: From here on out, all numbers are tentative. Costs & Stat values can be subject to change]**
As for the build path, I figured that we could add Blasting Wand
as it has the same Damage value as B.F Sword
at 40. As for the defensive stats, we could use Aegis of the Legion
as it has 30 Armor & Magic Resist. As for cost efficiency, I removed the cost of Aegis by 350g & instead made it the combine cost of all the items, bringing the total cost to 3250g. This effectively would effectively make it so Guardian Angel is less of a Rush Item (I've seen people do this as Bot-lane AD Carry) & a more considerable choice as a 6th item choice. If a combine cost is still needed for Aegis of the Legion, then it can be added in if necessary.
~ This is a WIP ~
[UNCHANGED] +30 Armor
+30 Magic Resist
+40 AD/AP *By way of Adaptive
[UNCHANGED] Unique Passive - Upon taking lethal damage, restores 50% of base health and 30% of maximum mana after 4 seconds of Stasis icon stasis (300 second cooldown).
Potential Build Path(WIP)-
[BUILD PATH]:
(1300g) +
(850g) +
(750g) + Combination cost (350g) = 3250g
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, took a long time to actually think about this Item Rework Concept & even longer to actually type it all out. If you have any Ideas or Constructive Criticism, please leave them down below. Thank you again & I hope you have a great day/night. :)
