Three forgotten items... Can we fix it?
Ohmwrecker. Zz,Rot Portal and Wit's end. Lets be honest, When was the last time you saw any of these three items being bought in game?
None of these items have ever been viewed as worth getting outside outside of Wit's end on WW or Shen and in season 1/2 where it offered a good early to mid game power spike at the expense of slot efficiency compared to other options.
This is just a suggestion given some of the season 6 changes but it would provide some currently lacking reasoning to get these items.
So what if they offered something actually wanted? Something that has been in the game for a while but limited to a grand total of like 5 items. Something that got nerfed this season on the main item people got with it and the other item with it removed?
So what if instead of reverting the nerfs to Merc treads which would in turn force people to often get them even against a mostly AD team a different item was given 20% Tenacity. What if Raptors Cloak was given 20% Tenacity? IT would be calculated like it has always been, multiplicative. Getting stun locked is extremely easy to have happen currently so why not make a couple items that are basically forgotten about have something that would make players consider them?
Rejuv. Bead (150) + Cloth Armor (300)+ Cloth Armor (300) + 450= Raptors Cloak (1200) 35 Armor 100% base health regen Unique Passive - Point Runner: Build up to +20% movement speed when near turrets or fallen turrets.
Ohmwreaker and Zz'Rot's have their cost increased by 100 but keep the same stats while gaining the 20% tenacity. This would make them a more tempting option for fighters and tanks.
Why am I not mentioning Wit's end so far in this? Because it needs something different done to it so it is worth getting again.
Recurve Bow + Null-magic Mantel + 650 Gold = Wit's end 2100 30% attack speed 26 MR Unique Passive: 42 on hit magic damage (if 42 is too much it will make me sad since#UniversalAnswer but 35ish on hit magic damage to make it an item worth getting again would be acceptable.) Unique passive: auto attacking gives the owner 4 MR for 5 seconds stacks up to 4 times(max of 16 MR from this passive)
Lets be honest, Wit's has not been a popular item for any champ besides WW and perhaps Udyr since season 2 when it had a reason to be rushed against AP champs. Sure a few other champs can use it currently but in reality Teemo, Kayle and the few others who can use it well would rather get other items nearly every game.
How does wit's fit into this who reaso nt obe bought?
Wit's end + Raptors Cloak (1200) + 300 = Madred's Bloodrazors (if a different name is required for some reason that is not an issue.) 40% attack speed 40 Armor 40 MR Unique Passive: 50 on hit Magic damage Unique Passive - Point Runner: Build up to +20% movement speed when near turrets or fallen turrets. Unique passive: auto attacking gives the owner 5 armor and MR for 5 seconds stacks up to 5 times.
Just a concept but I could see Tenacity on Raptors cloak being really helpful for making some items more worth considering.
