Item Rework
For a long while there have been a string of champion reworks, visual updates, etc. This is great. The new Summoner's RIft is also looking amazing. What'd I'd like to see happen is a sort of "item visual update". What do I mean by this? Well, first I'd like items to have more connection with the new lore. I think by bringing champion themes into the lore, the same should be done with items. This may include renaming items. I would also like to see recipes that make sense. I don't think I've ever seen a MOBA where the items and recipes make any sense whatsoever. What do I mean? How does
+
=
? Two wands turn into a hat. I get that this is picky, but it's just off. I'd love to see items make sense and item combinations actually create something that looks at least vaguely like the items that went into them.
for example, without looking at the recipe would probably make people think of
and
, but that is only half correct.
I know this is nitpicky, but bringing the items into the lore and having them make sense when they combine would be a very unique and carefully crafted detail that would make League even better. Items that make sense and are easier to recognize for new players would go a long way in helping newer players learn these recipes. Anyhow, I just thought I'd bring this up.
