Sometimes I think league would benefit from Smites item system.

Where characters can only buy items from their own pool which are assigned during developement, usually based on their intended class.

At the same time this would severely limit variation and also fuck over small groups of player while very much upping enforced metas.

you know, this could work.. i mean ideally it shouldn't need to be done, but it could fix things...

on the flip side though,, do u honestly trust riot to limit items from the abusers?

because when i sit and think about it.. i really don't think i would trust them to do things right... given the gameplay team's "track record"

I don't think it should be that restrictive, but they should limit some items to melee or ranged to prevent the other abusing it. Too many good melee items have been nerfed into the ground thanks to ADC abuse, and it only hurts the melee who wasn't the problem in the first place.

That's pretty much my whole thought process. Some items need to be restricted somehow but at the same time, restriction is the opposite of fun 90% of the time.

While I agree that some items can be abused, I feel that league strikes a good balance between regulation and variation. As a former Dota player, I know firsthand how annoying some items can be on certain characters, and I am confident in saying that league has a good itemization system right now, it’s just that certain items can always be tweaked to be improved.
