Mind reworking items that are not fully effective on buy such as RoA, Archangel Staff or Manamune?

I literally can't see any reason such items exist in this snowball meta. Their only purpose is:

  1. Be a noob trap
  2. Work on very few champs

Same thing applies for runes like Gathering Storm or Conditioning.

More exactly: RoA Once bought, item provides weak stats compared to other items, not so wow passive unless you already have some CDR. You will put yourself behind for some minutes and that's critical in the snowball meta.

Archangel Staff/ Manamune Simply buying Tear of Goddess is like shooting your leg compared to buying other offensive items. But wait! Once you buy Archangel Staff, you still get a low amount of AP until you spam enough spells (really bad, outdated mechanic) to get Seraph's Embrace.

Gathering Storm/ Conditioning The first ten minutes of the game are quite decisive, having like no rune slot taken will mostly make the difference.

You know, they'll go back to normal once they snowball meta ends. So while they suck now, they won't be that way forever.

I like archangels and RoA, albeit I only use them on like 3 champions....
