AP ITEM UPDATE
The ap item update is on the horizon, and for good reason. These items are not serving the wide variety of champions who are using them. This is an example of an AP item pass intended to solve a lot of those problems. Understand that these numbers and stats are just average examples. I also left out item costs as this is mostly conceptual. GOALS
- Better starting itemization by breaking up morellonomicon
- Better pen itemization based on the changes to last whisper
- Better itemization for front line and utility mages based on their needs
##
BOOK OF BURST (Fiendish Codex + Lost Chapter + Amplifying Tome)
- 100 AP
- 400 Mana
- 10% Cdr
- UNIQUE PASSIVE: Your next ability landed on an enemy champion grants 10% movespeed for 1.5 seconds and restores 10% of missing mana, with an X second cooldown. The cooldown is reduced by 1 second each time you damage an enemy champion.
A mana item for burst mages. Morellonomicon is no longer the go to starting item for all mages.
##
CUP OF UTILITY (Fiendish codex+Forbidden Idol+ Amplifying Tome)
- 75 AP
- 200 Mana
- 100% base mana regeneration
- 20% Cdr

A mana item for utility and dps mages. The intention is that while some champions will usually start with the same item every game, a few will opt into the either the book or the cup depending on the matchup.
