Maybe, looking into fighter items made them realize they need to clean up the other item areas first, or fighters will break something rather badly?

There are two problems with Fighter items. The first is that they use Tank items better than Tanks do, a problem that Riot has slowly been fixing by introducing/reworking Tanks with kits that scale with defensive stats. If Malphite and Zac get more benefits from item 3143 thanks to their abilities then you can make the item weaker and balanced for Fighters while Tanks use it just as well. There's still quite a distance to go until all of the Tanks have something like that though, but they're getting there.

The second and less-being-paid-attention-to problem is that Fighters with items that actually work for them would be stupid OP because 1: half of them have broken kits and 2: most of them are balanced around having so few items that are designed for them. AD Assassins have the same problem. There's no easy way to solve this one, gotta slowly trudge through the reworks and nerf everything so we can finally get an AD + Armor item or two. At least item 3071 is a solid item, providing good stats and a passive that works perfectly with AD champions who fight for long periods of time. It's not even being abused by anyone yet, so that's a good sign.

Oh, and I feel like item 3035 has something to do with all this too. Fuck item 3035 .
