Remove Spear of Shojin and Rageblade.

Champions whose kits are balanced around Cooldowns are able to bypass that through Spear of Shojin and quite frankly, that's bullshit and i'm sick of having to deal with Riven and Jax building two items and having 40% CDR while also having that bullshit active attached to their ultimates. These champs were balanced around not being able to Counterstrike and Leap every goddamn 2 seconds or being able to shield themselves and dash around all the while dealing stupid amounts of damage. There legitimately is nothing more toxic to deal with out of Toplane right now than a Riven with item 3161 item 3071 item 3812 . Literally impossible to kill and still does PLENTY of fucking damage.

Rageblade obviously breaks champions who are balanced around having the bulk of their damage gated by 3 or 4 hit passives. Obviously the biggest offender right now is Vayne . Absolutely disgusting that at lvl 13 that champion can deal 14% max health true damage every other auto attack while also being granted a full second of invisibility on a 1 second CD as long as they continue using their Tumble empowered auto attack. Please tell me how the hell that is balanced?

Riven currently has the highest playrate in Toplane with a 52% winrate in Platinum+. Vayne has the 2nd highest playrate at ADC with also a 52% winrate. Both of these champions are considered "high skill" so how is it high playrate champions also have high winrates? It is either because their itemization is too strong or the champs themselves are too strong.

Guinsoo's Rage or actually "Phantom-hit" for the people who remember the Sated Devourer days, has been a problem for long enough. Stop trying to fucking make Phantom hit work. Champions are gated by their 3 hit passives for a damn reason or did you forget your own champ designs? Christ, we have champs who don't have a single bit of AP scaling in their kits building Rageblade because the passive is so very fucking broken. You've been trying to make this mechanic work for nearly 4 seasons now. Starting out on the AS Jungle item with Devourer, and then moving it over to Rageblade. Breaking one item at a time and breaking all champs who abuse it so well.

honestly riot has destroyed the balance feels bad man still miss the season 5 before devourer i mean at season 4 or season 5 league was balanced and you dont have to deal with stupid champions like jax or riven or vayne they got so much buffs and also everything is buffed now days and makes me hate the game yes i love to win playing a boosted champion but if you lose you will understand how your enemys feel playing against you with those champions because people plays meta champions who are buffed and strong like vayne jax riven zed yasuo and others.

seriously riot after the fiora rework destroyed the counterplay the balance went out of control and they dont even care about that saying that they are trying to balance the game when they dont even balance it with those stupid changes.

Tbh no need to remove them. Just nerf their BS passives.

No. Not "nerf" their passives. Destroy them. Remove them. Because clearly they are incapable of balancing Phantom-hit when it's been in the game since Season 5 and it has caused MAJOR issues since then. Kindred, Shyvana, Aatrox, Master Yi, etc abusing Sated Devourer and it's Phantom Hit while it was attached to the AS jungle item. Vayne, Kog'maw, Varus, Neeko, Kai'sa etc abusing and Rageblade now because it allows them to bypass the restrictions in their kits on dealing absurd amounts of damage. IT HAS GOT TO FUCKING GO

Oh sure they can balance those items. They don't want to though. This is the problem.

As some who both loves and hates Riven/Jax/Vayne/Kai'Sa, I agree completely that those items need to be removed. Balancing is a nightmare as long those items exist.

100% agree

The champs that build it are OP with it.

I completely agree. Those items give unfair(and uncalled for) advantages to the champions who can use them. It completely breaks matchups in terms of counters etc.
