Remember when defensive items were actually defensive?

Remember when guardian angel built out of armor and magic resist items and not out of bf sword and stasis (something that used to only be on AP items)? Guardian's used to be an item that only offered defensive stats. Now it's basically a 1up mushroom with offensive stats. Item is broken as fck and impossible to balance in it's current state. Remember when banshee's veil was a luxury magic resist item instead of an ap item? Remember when stasis was something that only mages could get? Now assassins are getting it and tower diving bot at level 2. What a fcked up game this is. I'm not saying this is the only problem with this game, but itemization is seriously messed up.

Expected you to point out items like item 3053 item 3812 item 3078 item 3748 item 3046 item 3156 that make you tankier than a tank item

I know right, kind of backwards you get more durable from offensive items. What's next, ryze gets more blue with more mana? lol

Remember when the role that predominantly built Guardian Angel was the ADC, even when it was a purely defensive item?

I'm pretty sure we have had this conversation already.

No it wasn't just adc's that used to build this. Assassins built it too. You act like adc's were the only ones who used this item before it got changed but that's straight up bullsh*t.

Did I say "only"? .. hm, .. no, pretty sure it says "predominantly".

That isn't a super common word, so I'll define it.

And I don't agree with that either. Assassins built it just as much as adc's did.
