It might be time for role specific items

Similar to how item 3085 item 3748 item 3074 are attack style based (melee / ranged champions can't use the items respectively), it might be a good idea for some role specific items. Just as an example, and not necessarily a suggestion, lets say that item 3814 is restricted to assassins only. They are the class it seems to be most designed for, and its passive makes sense on them. Similarly, we could have item 3025 be a skirmishers only item.

This would be a great way to solve those "exceptions" to the intended users of an item which cause difficulties for the balance of said item. Exceptions like Ezreal with item 3025, while obviously not the intended user, Ez has really strong synergy with this item, especially vs other ADCs who really do not have this item for a build option because they cant get the same amount of benefits like Ez does from it (65 armor at early levels is pretty strong when most ADCs don't grab a whole lot of armor pen/lethality for their first few items).

I am not saying these items nor Ez are necessarily the issues or the problems. They are just examples to demonstrate the concept better. I think it would be a good addition to the game if some new and possibly existing items were role locked.
