PBE Item Changes
I know this changes are experimental and the chances are high that stuff gets changed but I just wanted to give feedback (before it´s too late).
Reworked Items These items tended to have mismatched stats and effects, and we aim to address that here.
Guardian Angel - EXPERIMENTAL
Guardian Angel is now positioned as an AD/Armor item, with the intention of making its unique effect less attractive to tanks and its build path more attractive to its intended users. Although its build path looks pleasant, we aim to ship it such that it is not very efficient from a gold efficiency and slot efficiency perspective, so that it's not a default third-ish purchase for AD champions.
Cost: 2400g (875g upgrade)
Build Path: Pickaxe, Long Sword, Cloth Armor
Effects: +40 Attack Damage +30 Armor Unique Passive: Upon taking lethal damage, restores 50% of base Health and 30% of maximum Mana after 4 seconds of stasis (300 second cooldown).
I agree that tanks shouldn´t be the ones needing GA the most, but I think that GA was/should be an allround item that could be bought by anyone as a defensive option to round up the build. I would rather see changes to the passive which will reward squishy users more and tanky users less.
Another point is that those changes farvour tanky ad champs like Darius/Garen/Hecarim/Illaoi which gain a bit more damage (which also gives more sustain in case of lifesteal/ spell vamp -> Darius Q /Illaois tentacles) and tankyness (armor + passive).
Randuin`s Omen:
Why do you want to remove the crit damage reduction? It was an useful stat and gave a good option against crit.
Crit gives adcs burst damage against squishys which they theoretically shouldn´t have (adcs should do sustained damage and counter tanks with it; except adcs which have a kit designed to burst like Draven). And the crit reduction helped to decrease this burst + Randuin´s Omen wasn´t abused by squishy champs.
Gargoyle Stoneplate
The only thing I wanna ask for it to give it another icon (if this icon isn´t a placeholder). It doesn´t look worse but also not better than Jax´s passive icon (Jax´s passive icon looks like he is going fishing).
