@Riot Discussion about Sunfire Cape

I want to address that with the introduction of the new items, Sunfire Cape has become outclassed in all ways. I'll give a few short points, if you want I am willing to expound upon them.

item 3748 - Much greater wave clear and overall stats for a fighter throughout the game. item 3742 - Better defensive stats and also gives mobility.

I am a Garen main and I always would buy item 3068 as my first item in lane, but now that Garen is a health stacking fighter I simply see no reason to buy item 3068 anymore with these others items providing better def stats, more health and overall better sticking power. Also item 3068 tends to not be very useful late game compared to nearly every other item cost wise.

Arnt the new items designed with garen in mind? Sunfire is still good. Might need a little bit of an armor buff considering that you barely get 100 when combined with randuins now, but still a strong item for the champs who have good synergy with it.

Darius, Wukong and many other item 3068 users also benefit a lot more from the other items than they would from Sunfire currently

But there are quite a few who do well with sunfire. Im thinking the tanks that do magic damage, who might build a Liandries late game. The mobility from dead mans plate might be a little over tuned at the moment though. A lot of champs are buying it just to help them initiate.
