Riot really needs to focus on an item balance patch, introduce new options and change current items

Reduce the damage stats granted on CDR items because you shouldn't have burst AND the ability to throw out back to back abilities. The absolute maximum any CDR item should grant is 50 AP/AD, anything more and it's just absurd damage inflation because you empower your abilities AND throw them out more often for absolutely no cost.

Add more options to deal with the obscene damage in the game. Add a item 3010 item with armor, add Magic-Resist items with Mana so item 3001 and item 3050 aren't the ONLY hyper-niche items in the game that grant both. Add items that grant Physical or Adaptive damage shields, items that create grounded AoEs. Add items that create temporary Walls that absorb incoming projectiles like a Yasuo Braum wall. Add ward upgrades that make it possible to drop a item 2055 so you can have some sort of counterplay to late-game assassins.

Literally do anything to give the game diversity and counterplay, because it's so beyond fucking boring seeing the same exact braindead shit items every fucking time.

Oh boy I bought item 3285 item 3102 / item 3157, I really worked hard to wipe out 1/3 of an enemy's HP bar because I landed a single spell after missing 10. Oh boy I bought item 3078 item 3053, I really worked hard to all-in that enemy after hitting them with a single CC after missing my combo 10 times while they do 0 damage to me. Oh boy I bought item 3142 item 3147, I really worked hard missing every part of my combo and totally whiffing my ult, glad to know electrocute will be back up in 20 seconds though so I can 1-shot them with 2 abilities anyway after missing 20. Oh boy I bought item 3031 item 3094, I really worked hard right clicking a squishy enemy from 700 range and getting a lucky 600+ damage crit,

It's fucking stupid and needs to be addressed Riot, fix your game and make it so people have to actually THINK about their fucking items instead of just building the same exact fucking thing no matter the champion they're playing because the items give you access to Burst per Second due to the obscene amount of Damage CDR/Attack-Speed and increased damage passives tacked onto every fucking item.

I agree. Items need to be looked at more.

how both?

but on a more serious note, new items can be exciting. Maybe not active items, if the active effect is too powerful they can make every champion feel the same. And you can into problems where a champion should have a weakness but it's covered up by an active item.

More strategy around vision would be cool. More exciting things to build as a support would be fun. Perhaps have ultra-late game items for like 7000 gold... idk.

Bring back those risky items like sword of the ocult, but add one for tanks so they can carry if they get hot.

What item-ideas do you have.
