I wanna see some of these BMB items make a return

i forgot how crazy some of these items were, and how good some of them would be if they were tuned a little more

Puppeteer could be reworked a bit with its build path, but be focused on being an anti-kite/anti-disengage item rather than a free pull for everyone you touch

Murksphere would be a nice defensive option for dealing with poke. Probably the most intuitive support item we've seen; rewards you for playing smart and doesn't just give you extra damage/sustain for doing your normal stuff. I loved it

T Y P H O O N C L A W S would be legendary. make it more expensive, make sure it can't stack with item 3124 and we'd be good to go

Mirage Blade as a panic button for immobile ADCs; make it so that it goes on a self-imposed cooldown if you've used a dash, to prevent abuse from Lucian and Kalista

Rework Flesh-eater to be an all-purpose (starter?) item that just gives you a free minion execute, something you can take into hard lanes as a melee champ so you can still grab a CS every so often.

Grimoire, Rite of Ruin, Pox Arcana would b pretty neato too. maybe adjust the damage values to towers/champs with them but they have interesting concepts

trickster's glass self-explanatory

or you could just bring the game mode back, i'd settle for that

Trickster's Glass was the coolest item EVER. So much fun.
Totally imba, and extremely cheesey, but still cool...

Big Lincoln5 votes

all ya gotta do is make its stats more general so that I can take it on juggernauts

It would be pretty nice to build it on Illaoi and disguise myself as my squishy Sona support : )

I think the most important thing these items did was decrease the linearity of certain items buildpaths, it would be great to make it so every item had more situational build options. (I'm looking at you: item 3140item 3123item 3034item 3136item 3191item 3802item 3155 )

Netherstride on Singed.

+20% movespeed when someone takes damage from his DOT and a good chunk of ap.

I liked the brawler hiring thing.

The only reason I didn't play it more was because I couldn't get a 5 man team together...

Poke someone to bring Typhoon Claws to rift, please. Walk over to the item office real fast.

I don't understand how Shaco or Leblanc were not given a variant of that ability in their reworked kits tbh...

Real question though what about Mirage blade?

That Item seem freaking amazing and it Reminded me of Nomad from HoN.

also bring back Atma's impaler kthnxbai.

Has Riot ever thought of making an item that increases cast time or auto attack travel speed?

I fucking loved that shit. It worked really well with Blitzcrank.

Give me Pox Arcana please.

Typhoon Claws Darius would be extremely fun. E-AA-W-AA-Typhoon for max Hemorrhage on your target without having to use Q. Broken probably, but fun.

What if Typhoon Claws was activated on landing a number of abilities? That would make it a diverse item that could apply to a lot of roles, and it would have more dimension than an "abuse on-hit effects" item like Guinsoo's.

i want typhoon claws specifically for Volibear finally having an offensive item

man that shit would be so cash with his ult up

WHERE IS THIS ITEM GIVING A SHIELD ON 10 SEC CD AND GAVE YOU GOLD IF THE SHIELD WAS BROKEN?

fck man, this item would solve botlane melee vs range problem

Big Lincoln1 votes

ya

if they made flesheater more of a farming tool like the uh, midas glove(?) that'd help a lot in melee v range matchups too imo. at least for AD ones

puppeteer was a pull for every person you auto attack and the string could be broken. IDK why my post was downvoted for wanting it implemented in the game, but yeah that item sounds very useful if its stats were changed to appeal to bruisers/tanks

Big Lincoln4 votes

puppeteer

ya i know what it was, i was just saying maybe it'd be healthier as a sort of counter-item you'd take vs someone like Ezreal or Lucian, someone who's very kite-y when you're a juggernaut or something, or maybe that particular Yasuo who likes to jump through minions a lot.

maybe the active is fine as is, just a thought I had because I'd like to be able to fight these jumpy dickheads one day

Man, I had an Aatrox jungle build which consisted of: the devourer enchantment (on the challenging smite), Typhoon Claws (which practically attacked 3 times in the span on an auto attack, all doing 50% damage), BoTRK and full tank. When Typhoon Claws activated, with your W passive, you'd heal 4 times pretty much in the span of an auto. It was so cheesy.

Grimoire, Rite of Ruin, Pox Arcana would b pretty neato too. maybe adjust the damage values to towers/champs with them but they have interesting concepts

Still asking myself why Riot didn't add them during MYMU

I'd rush Typhoon Claws on Taric every game. Unloading Two Bravados and a Sheen auto attack instantly sounds amazing.

Rite of Ruin Ziggs .

N...NOOOOO

Netherstride Grimoire(with obviously toned down effects and stats) would be dope.

I miss the staff of flowing water tbh. It was so good when mana was so hard to come by. Of course that has probably changed a lot by now.

I want Trickster's Glass on SR + Butcher's Bridge :D

The only real problem with the AP items is they had too much. High AP, 20% CDR on each, and mana. Take some of those away. I'd rather take a nerfed Pox Arcana (with passive in tact) than a Luden's Echo any day.

I feel like I was the only one who used the river staff or whatever it was called.

Just grabbing one of those on Zilean early on and running around the map was pretty much the most fun I've had playing support as a support player. Please bring that back.
