Items and Diversity

When it comes to items in LoL, a few come to mind right away. Zhonyas , Deathcap , Warmog , and Black Cleaver are all well known items. However, if you mention an item such as Moonflair Spellblade or Force of Nature (insert picture here), most players wont know what that is. There are so many items that are in other game modes or removed from Summoner's Rift.

The point I'm trying to make is there is a severe lack of items on the Rift. Riot keep preaching about diversity, and then changes a few champs around. Thats all fine and dandy, but we just experienced the 2nd coming of "League of Cleaver" and with the next patch we'll see a 2nd coming of "League of Feral Flare", but this time in the form of Devourer.

We need more items Riot. Give us more diversity. Bring items from other maps into the Rift, or make more items.

Right now Zeke's Herald is being changed. Why not keep Herald, and make a new item out of the changes? If Herald is "bad", it may just need a buff. The changes make it a completely new item. It wont be Zeke's Herald anymore. It will become some completely different item.

Bring in Odyn's Veil , Moonflair Spellblade , Entropy , The Lightbringer , maybe even the Orb of Winter . Imagine a world where Galio is a viable pick, Skarner isn't "bad", and Trundle isn't a "troll" pick. A world where the items are more than "Im Wukong so I have to buy Black Cleaver even though I'm the only AD champ" and more along the lines of "I'm Wukong and they have a lot of armor, so I should buy a Black Cleaver to fix that". A world where games can be won through thinking and planning, not muscle memory buying a Luden's Echo because you're an AP mid.

Yes, it will change the meta. But if diversity is what everyone wants, then shouldn't the meta change?
