should riot make more unique items like viktor's hex core to help diversify the game even more?

right now, viktor is able to build an item that only he can build and when he does, he gains the ability to evolve his abilities.

should riot create more items like this for other champions as well?

if they do, they can create items that will help allow champions to be played in more roles.

i'll use sona as an example.

sona is usually played in the support role but some people like to play her in the mid lane. she can be a strong mid laner sometimes but she has a very big weakness that prevents her from being played in the mid lane often, and that weakness is waveclear.

if riot creates a new item for sona, they can make it so she can evolve her Q.

they can make it so she can evolve her Q up to 3 times as she builds this item.

each time she evolves her Q, her Q will hit 1 additional target, giving her better waveclear.

this would be easy to understand, wont make support sona overpowered, and wont be the first champion that can build an item that can evolve their abilities.

viktor is able to do something like this, why can't other champions as well?

i believe i also read a post some time ago by riot somewhere where they were considering making new starting items to help allow mages and eventually bruisers to be viable picks for bot lane, but it seems they didn't go through with the idea.

if riot truly wants to diversify the game like they claim they do then i think making more unique items would help alot.

personally i feel the need for something like this because playing my favorite champs in only 1 role gets boring. the game will eventually become stale to me.

riot wants this game to last decades, not just a few more years. to help prevent me from getting bored too soon i feel the need to be able to play my favorite champs in more than just 1 role and need the game to become more diverse.

what do you guys think? should riot make more unique items for champs? or should riot do something else instead? if you keep everything the same, the game will get stale. what kind of change do you want to see, if any?

idk about champ specific items but we could use another Armor + AP item for mages

YES. Anything that lets a champion be viable in more than one role is a very very good thing.

i would indeed like another armor + AP item but that wont make sona mid viable and that's what i want.

if that's the case then i think the only way for some champions is to make unique items for them like viktor has.

this would open the window to allow things like sona mid or even nami jungle.

if you make a jungle item specific for nami you can make it so she can use her W on large or epic monsters, something normals items can't do.

you can also give champion specific jungle items to give bonus stats to help champs with weaker jungle clear like nami. you can make it so she gains bonus attack speed when attacking a jungle mob and maybe even make her deal additional damage to jungle mobs for the first few minutes of the game, whatever would make her viable somehow.

it would require alot of time and balancing to make items like this but i feel like in the long run it would be worth it.

i at least am getting tired of having to play only bot lane with my champs, i want to play my champs in more roles.

i hope riot will at least come up with something even if it isn't champion specific items.
