Please Revert GLP

I know I've said this before but the item is just soooooo bad now it's ridiculous. GLP get outclassed by the other two lost chapter ap items so just please for the love of all that's good revert it. The active sucks, the stats are decent (however when comparing it to it sucks) so please just revert the item. The old GLP was a niche item however it was actually really good for some champs apposed to none. It gave you a decent amount of mana, health, and ap and the only other item that gives those stats is . AP supports that use those stats effectively can no longer go for a half tank half damage item now since they need early game power and just isn't good on AP supports since supports need early game power to make up for their ad's weak phase of the game.

But ya just please revert the item or at least change the item so it has a clear advantage over (I know GLP has an active but ya it kind of sucks compared to the old active or the passives the other two items have)

I actually like it as is, but that's just because I can use it as my mana/cdr item on my Glacial Augment Zilean support.

It's one of the most fun builds ever.

I liked having a replacement for RoA

wait what? I never saw an ap support with item 3030 or item 3027 (well maybe Zilean with rod) and honestly they realy should not go that. And also if Supports want ap and health or ap and mana there ar eplenty of options: item 3116 item 3151 item 3165 item 2065 item 3174 item 3504 item 3100 item 3092 , yea even item 3003 can be used by zileans and sonas.

Like the only champion old glp was better would be AurelionSol and pre reworked swain. Well swain got reworked and no longer spends mana during ult. And glp is realy better for a more variety of champions, jsut reverting for sol would not be right. It still ahs potential to be better if it needs to be buffed.

But don't act like supports need a realy strong early ap mana health item beside item 3098 : I can go this and than item 3916 or item 3136 on most ap supports. Or classic item 3114 items on enchanters.

I still buy the new GLP in super late game on whoever if I need some extra fighting power, but yeah, it's kind of something you can't get until you've got a Liandry's I guess. The old GLP was amazing and I got it very often on supports. Orianna, Anivia, Veigar...I can still play such champs as support but it's not quite the same. With Veigar, you're kind of stuck relying a lot on Manaflow Band again, which I suppose is understandable because he was OP before, and Anivia maybe as well...but Anivia is one of the few mages that I feel like is actually going to take a big hit with the mana changes that are being planned. Orianna has a bit less control without GLP but she can still get work done. The main reason she's having trouble is her damage is kind of hard to land lately. GLP is supposed to change that, but can't unless she wants to be squishy.

Yeah, I'd like old GLP back. As you can see, Aurelion Sol's winrate hasn't taken a hit at all because of the GLP nerf. It's not the item.

GLP was pretty crap before, and it's still pretty crap now. The only real difference I can see is at least it gives 20% CDR now. Protobelt is still better though lol.

I say revert everything except make the fully completed item have 10% CDR (Lower some of the other stats a little in exchange). It makes it appeal to those who used to buy it and with some CDR will become more appealing to other champs as well.

I liked old GLP one some champions, normally i used the active to slow the enemy and be more likely to hit my ranged CC. Or if i was playing a champion that usually build ROA, but i started to fall behind, i sometimes would get GLP to help prevent me from falling behind to far early game. But now i dont even consider buying GLP in any situation on any champion, it just feels so bad all around. Maybe if they gave the item like 200 health i might consider occasionally in some situations
