Where did the bruiser/juggernut item patch go?
Just wondering, did the Atma's reckoning and Spear of Shojin just get removed, alongside with the tri-sterak changes? I really liked these two in particular.
Any chance they could get shipped back?

ADC's needed love apparently.
Can't have them being weak for a single season, am I right fellas? High five
maybe they realized that they buffed bruisers enough by making tri force + steraks and conqueror broken

They kept the nerf to Sterak's and shelved the rest because ADC streamers and pros were literally inting by playing random bullshit because they couldn't handle the fact that their role went from S+ tier to S- tier
They are waiting until preseason to release it after the debacle that was the ADC item update.
They were put on hold till Preseason. The reason for that is Riot realized they already had a lot of big changes to the game at the time. Midseason had a lot of changes over several patches. The mage mana changes, the Jungle & scuttle crab, the famous/imfamous ADC changes & all the other shit I'm forgetting. My guess is that they got a lot of feedback that there was too much shit going on. Players not having enough time to adapt to 1 change only to be slapped across the face with another change. Not to mention how that would have skewed the balance landscape of bruisers, top lane & the game in general.
Would they have had a dramatic affect on the game? I don't know.
They went with the promise of taken care of 
and given him more items.

8.12 Fighter items
We came to the conclusion at the start of this week that we should pull the fighter item changes out of patch 8.12, despite the patch being about to go out and a lot of work/testing having been done on those items. Our belief is that they're good designs, but that the timing's wrong for them, both in terms of current power of fighters and amount of change we've put into the game recently. Hoping to still do them at some point, with pre-season being the most likely option.
Our apologies to those of you who were looking forward to those, would expect their removal to be pretty frustrating for some players, especially if you play fighters who aren't among the stronger ones right now, or who don't have a broad enough range of itemization. Building up expectations around content like this going out, only for it to then be pulled away, is something we try pretty hard to avoid. In this case, despite the pain that creates, we felt we needed to pull them out though.
They were pretty damn strong on a plethora of champs. A ton of fighters/juggernauts were building all of them and being nigh unkillable with a ton more hp.
It got pushed back to Preseason. They'll likely return, but likely not entirely the same balance wise cause Spear was pretty dang strong. Atma's was ok though.
Are people actually encouraging adding Spear of Shojin? lol
It'll probably come back after they fix tanks If they were to drop it now that wouldn't be very good for top lane diversity
because they always skip bruiser item updates.
