My thoughts on the Spellbade/Sheen of season 6

I want to talk about the sheen/spell blade items and their current condition and I know Riot needs to make changes to the game, such as updating the objectives, champions, and items, but there are some things that are perfectly fine in where they stand or have stood before the changes. I agree with the idea to keeping things fresh with the game, but that shouldn't change things that didn't need it.

Things that really needed to be updated from the marksman update were because they didn't satisfy the buyer in terms of function or felt inefficient to buy. Now you see them more often than before. However, there were a set of items I didn't agree with that needed changing. The changes to to make an adc item was a terrible idea. Currently the spell blade items have provided more stats than their alternatives or too little. As for , I consider perfectly fine where its stands since it has barely changed since the same users are still buying it. . . has lost to many stats after the changes that made it really inefficient to purchase from almost anyone (including most of its old users). Users of such as switched over to because of how powerful it became (more on that down below) and the only two left who still built the item were and . Then was changed again to offer more CDR to were its only two users can no longer build it and not only another hand full can/might build it now. Those current users are now (I haven't ran into anyone else currently building it so not really sure who else). The pool of users for is much smaller than it was for last season.

With the current stats of Trinity force, it resembles a lot like Zephyr, but weaker and a different passive. Right now Zephyr would have been great or even amazing to build since you can no longer enchant boots. Ironically, they wanted to make an adc item when they could have just made Zephyr be built from a spell blade item and basically be what is now (with the only difference being hp and passive). http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Zephyr http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Trinity_Force

Moving onto . It currently dominating tanks, off-tanks, and bruiser builds. It offers too much cdr, better passive, and better price than its alternative . Even after the small nerf to the passive, still WAY out performs in almost all scenarios with the only situation being that the enemy team is made up of all AD champions and who will build AD (even in this situation, Iceborn could still out perform Frozen heart). Sacrificing 25 armor for an AoE slow that increases with the more armor you have is a no-brainer.

I honestly miss the season 5 versions of spell blade items because they gave you a choice for different situations, now they are either for all situations (iceborn gauntlet) and only for a couple of champions to build it (trinity force). I really wish they revert the changes and made Zephyr a spell blade item so adcs can have that as an option instead of trinity force.

TL:DR Bring back the season 5 spell blade items, they were healthier, balanced, stronger, and were not meant for all situations or for only two champions to make use of them. Making Zephyr a spell blade items for adcs instead of Trinity force would have been amazing especially now that there are no more boot enchantments.
