Season 9 should address useless items that nobody buys
Items like
that nobody buys or even looks at twice in the shop.
Wit's End actually has a strong premise and its main issue lies in its stats simply being too niche. If it were reworked out of having MR or MR stealing and traded it for some health and higher damage, it would be a solid option again on its original demographic of fighters who want to either compound on magic damage or add some mixed damage to their mostly physical output.
I'm not sure
can feasibly even be the same item it is now. The stats are actually quite good on it and I think it's an underrated item, but the active, the main selling point of the item, just doesn't really matter. Towers themselves aren't really threatening enough to warrant being disabled, and the audience of champs who finds this item palatable (tanks and tanky fighters) aren't having any trouble with tower diving by the time they'd want to buy this item.
I don't even know what the deal is with Edge of Night. TBH I think it's just being marketed to the wrong audience; an assassin who's using his evasion tools correctly has no need for a spell shield. The item would probably be better suited designed around less mobile fighters who have no choice but to eat spells and CC.
Since Riot is already planning on adding items onto the Rift in preseason with Atma's and Spear of Shojin, it would be a good opportunity to knock down this peg at the same time and give these outdated or weak items a much needed do-over.
or
. Maybe finally make it into a battlemage item for mages who throw out multiple skills in quick succession, lowering MR in the process.
.
are really bad too.
