Sheen Items

Throughout the brief, yet rich, history of League of Legends, many items have been introduced, reworked, or removed all together (RIP DFG ). From the changes to Armor Pen items (including the Lethality transition), to the frequent tuning of item 3071 , item 3153 , and item 3145 items. All in order to either balance a certain item (looking at you item 3071, a champion that is incredibly overpowered with an item (KogMaw with old item 3124 ), or lastly (and central to my point), enable items to be used by different champions, some of which did not make good use of them in the past (changing Runeglaive items to item 1402 / item 1410 / item 1414 allowing other AP champs to JG, such as AurelionSol and AP MMaokai ).

What i would like to propose is to remove the mana stat from item 3057, so that champs that do not use mana but can use item 3057 can use it more effeciently such asAkali , Yasuo , and Talon . Instead of mana. i propose changing item 3057 's stats to 10% CDR, 10% Tenacity, 5 adaptive Lethality/Magic Pen and a new UNIQUE Passive similar to item 3044 , but that includes all dmg types. And in the Tier 3 item, 10-20% CDR, 25% Tenacity 10 adaptive Lethality/scaling 7--15 Magic Pen at levels 1-18, and unchanged item 3044 adaptive dmg passive. An additional optional bonus would be to add a passive that, upon dealing any dmg to champions, granted increased adaptive, Energy or Mana Regen for 10 seconds.

This would allow champions like the above mentioned Energy champs, as well as champs like RekSai , LeeSin , Zed , Garen , and Rengar to use these items more effectively. Adding the Penetration stat would also allow these champs to do more damage and their damage would scale better throughout the game (lets face it item 3078 25 AD late game is pretty much ignored, completely opposite as its 200% AD Sheen passive).

I believe this change would open up Sheen items to be used by many different champions, and would allow many different viable playstyles to arise (Armor Pen MissFortune wasnt a thing until Lethality came about), and would allow Riot to create many more Sheen Items that suit the roles of each champion in game. I mean, imagine a support item with sheen passive that, after landing an ability on an enemy/neutral unit, your next heal, shield or CC ability was 10-25% stronger.

I trust that Riot would develop and tune these items as to prevent any one champion or playstyle from causing an unhealthy state of the game. This is just my personal opinion and a cool idea i had. Disagree if you choose, it is your right. but leave the flame in the kitchen.
