Considering why it was made, can riot even remove ohmwrecker in good conscious?

For anyone who doesnt know (and why would you, its been almost a decade since it happened...) Ohm (i think there was more to the name...) was a youtuber who was one of leagues first "influencers", and used his subscriber base to complete riots first "referral" program which allowed him to help design an item. Its a legacy item that has stayed BECAUSE of the circumstances surrounding its inception. To remove it feels like a slap in the face to the history of the game, like riot is once again denying the past ever happened.

Why cant we just rework it again? Id love a 300HP, 60armor, 60MR hybrid defense item regardless of its passive effects.

The item bothers nobody. Please let it stay.

An expensive stat-stick tank item would be really nice for the meta, whether it helped take down turrets or not - you're on the right track there.

It has been repeatedly said they will try to use the name elsewhere. Chill.

"Ohmwrecker" is being reworked. It'll be used by turrets rather than against them, as one of the "items" they equip to show their various properties and effects. It'll go from never being used ever (no you didn't, don't lie) to being in literally every game.

Dude, do you not pay attention? They literally said that they are taking the names of both items and will put them somewhere else. It's like the fifth highly upvoted post with this non-issue.

Why not just fuse it and ZZ rot portal into 1 item? I havent seen either built in a long long time. Not even by occasional Yoricks I play against and with. You still save item space, but keep both things for people that really liked them.

Passive can be spawning a voidling when killing X units/minions. Active shuts down the turet and spawns a big one to help take it down.

I'd agree with a rework but Riot removed items that grant hp, armor and mr on the same item for a very good reason. It's too slot-efficient.

don't let it bother you riots just buying time until their FPS E Sports game takes off at which point they will slowly phase league of legends out while still using the universe for stuff like card games and auto chess.
