@Riot, can we talk about adding in more items?

The problem that I have with league is that I'm pigeon-holed into a constant item build. There is no variety because the "variety" isn't good in player's eyes.

There are a lot of creative minds in the community. Some that would love to have a chance to show this creativity. Can we try discussing adding new items, simple and not? (Items that provide just stats compared to items that have stats and passives)

As it stands, I don't see any harm in adding more items in to the game. Doing so would vary what each champion would build, or could build. It would add a new form of variety that is probably easier than creating a new champion.

And if you have any item ideas that you are thinking about, but are not sure if you should add them in, why don't you tell us? Showing an early iteration of an item can help the community refine it into something healthy and usable for the game.
