I think they should revert GA

It used to be an item that had trade offs to buy it. The passive and defense stats were traded for a non offensive item. Now, it's pretty pointless to get on an AP champ, and gives AD so there isn't really a trade off for champs like Yas, Riven, Yi, etc to buy it.

I don't want AP champs taking both broken stopwatch items.

YEP TOTALLY no sarcasm btw. this item is too bs due to the face it used to mean actually having to buy and trade off damage for defenses on both sides of the ap/ad coin now it plays favoritism towards ad champs. i mean wow imagine giving up damage for defenses and a powerful active. its a snowball item with in and of itself that favors AD types. i prefer the older angel since you actually had to give up something for defense. now its the LCS "lol im tanky with item 3072 item 3812 item 3046 item 3026 item 3031 item 3047 or item 3006 ". tell me i dont see much damage/attack speed given up for the defensive build that makes adcs a tank while dealing assassin damage. (of course this is not accounting keystones yet)

Because you'd rather have Kench or ChoGath buying GA and having multiple 9900HP healthbars

Hard nope.

Then we just go back to the days of tanks being the only ones to take this item and getting the absolute most benefit with little-to-no trade-off while the current item is an actual tradeoff for most characters due to the item's stats being hardcoded to raw AD/armor, both of which set back the intended roll (carries) while being an occasionally good item on divers/skirmishers/etc.

I don't think they should revert GA. :/ make it's damage adaptive or reduce the damage but I do not want to see the return of full tank champions being able to build GA. Nothing is more frustrating than having to kill a tank twice. Furthermore, the way ADC builds are now, GA would literally be removed as an item for them to build ever. Its already hard enough to fit it into your build. When GA was just an Armor/MR item with a revive, ADC builds were wildly different. It wasn't uncommon to only build one zeal item and have just IE as your crit. Now, it is standard to build three crit items and then desperately try and figure out what your last two slots are going to be. Sometimes you just can't get away with a GA because the long CD means that its less safe than life steal.

They changed it because it was just a free second life for 4K HP tanks to respawn instantly.

I'm glad that form of the item is long gone.
