Season 9 should address useless items that nobody buys

Moody P··1 votes·882 views

Items like item 3091 item 3056 item 3814 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 item 3056 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with Atma's and Spear of Shojin, it would be a good opportunity to knock down this peg at the same time and give these outdated or weak items a much needed do-over.

Guess the entire point of wits end is to be niche but in todays world where everything deals physical dmg its not worth it

My opinions: Make ohmwrecker into a Diver item and we good, Health, AD, CDR. Remove the Armor and health Regen and it will be used loads more.

Witts end should be made into a starting item and work on spells. Most magic damage is from spells not auto attacks. If we need more auto attack magic damage we just build item 3115 or item 3124. Maybe finally make it into a battlemage item for mages who throw out multiple skills in quick succession, lowering MR in the process.

Edge of night, make the shield instant cast but only for a short duration instead of delayed cast over a long duration. Most games Assassins go in the moment they see a misplay, they can’t wait for a shield to be up by the time they’re already in the fight

item 3174 item 3030 item 3907 are really bad too.

How do you think GLP should be changed? Just wondering since I rarely even see people talk about this item.

Make Wit's end build out of QSS instead of Negatron and it will be bought.

Ohm could have Tenacity and fortify a single allied tower and it would be bought.
