Stupid idea: you know how we have ranged specific items?

So hurricane has an ability that only works for a ranged champion. What if other items existed that have a specific bonus if a champion of a certain typing uses it. Anyone can equip the item, but certain champions with the right class gain the extra effect.

An assassin bonus effect, a tank bonus effect, etc.

Thoughts?

30 ad item that no one will buy because it no longer has the aoe ability. They better be coming up with buffs to champions that no longer have access to this item. Trundle will be unplayable now. Mana pots removed, no more waveclear. He can do nothing.

He needs BOTRK active to fight. Ohh, they nerfed BOTRK too.

Aatrox should be fun. All those grevious wounds, botrk nerfs. Honestly, Riot is ruining 50 champions to buff 20.. If that's not digging your own grave, Idk what is.

Looking at some of the new Masteries, I think Trundle will still be playable. Could be wrong.

BOTRK nerfed Tiamat waveclear removed Mana pots removed. It's like taking off 3 wheels off of a car, and saying "it still runs tho"

Another great example actually. I'm wondering if we allowed them for certain champion types. Say that an item provides a bonus effect if you are a tank class champion rather than just because you're built tanky.

I think this would be a great way to balance the game. I think if DFG was only usable on burst mages and Luden's was only usable on DPS mages. It sounds dumb but it also means they could nerf/buff them with out effecting EVERYMAGE but just a portion of them. The only problem is players would lose "freedom" to do their cookie cutter builds LOL.

Another example, but I think everyone is misinterpreting what I meant to say.

Note: This is hypothetical because I suck at making items and I really didn't want to use real existing items in an analogy.

Let's say item 3046 gave its normal benefits to anyone, but only gave it's unique passive to champions with the assassin typing. That's what I mean. Not that I'd want phantom dancer to do that, but a lot of people bring up how these new items will break or make something and I just thought that it'd be easier to balance them if special effects only worked for certain champion classes.
