Shower thought. All items without passives/actives

Would the game be more balanced if there were no item actives or passives? All items would just be different variants of the stats they give without actives or passive for the hidden power they provide. No more deathcap give bonus % ap. No more IE giving increased crit damage. Limits the stats items could give to: Health Armor Magic Resist Health Regen. AD AP Armor/Magic Pen Attack Speed Crit Chance Movement speed Maybe Tenacity Life Steal I might be missing some I think this would give Riot an easier out to balance the game but the downside is it might be a little boring. No more Greivous wounds or bonus healing from items. No more bonus shielding. No more duskblade procs for stepping briefly into a bush. No more Bork, No more immolate, No more rylais slow, etc They could buff kits to compensate Havent had coffee yet so take the idea with a grain of salt.
