why doesn't riot add 2 new item slots that cant be worth more than 2k gold each. thats not enough for a strong tier item, just enough to buy some sort of tank stat. like if you wont nerf the overall damage of people, give us more item slots to build defensively.
I'm all about having a discussion about; I like the creativity.
Having said that, it's not going to have the effect you're hoping for, I think. More item slots just means people can continue to snowball later into the game (the thing that reliably stops a snowball is hitting the item cap).
I don't think it will mean anything, strategically, except maybe allowing people to have more small components that they didn't upgrade fully yet. That could be cool, but it certainly doesn't favor defensive itemization over offensive.
That a horrible idea especially since not a single finished item is that low.
tbh it would just make it worse since then people can just set their boots in there and maybe a last whisper and still have a full build of damage in their main slots
only lifesteal, hp, armor, mr, movement speed. no crit, no flat ap, no flat ad, no boots, and you two of the same items cant be in there.
so bruiser would get like hex and jarums fist tanks would get legion and thorn aps would get armguard and aether adcs would get a vamp and phage supports could go leagion and always have a slot for red wards.
