ooooh they removed the actives and combined sightstone into them because they were too strong. mid and top laners were stealing them. Edit: I think adcs were using the defensive one even.

I want to say it was like talisman of the ascended or something?

Anyways the new ones better imo. :P

Frost Queen was used a lot in midlane during last season. Riot didn't like it as they stated they meant this item to be support item and so they started nerfing it. As a result, in one patch coin and talisman was used by every single enchanter support. Then coin got nerfed and next patch every single enchanter were starting with spellthief. On top of it the FQC active was nerfed into unusable state. So after like 5 patches Riot decided these items are not possible to balance at all and FoTM was removed along with them so there are no gaps left.

Then they brough item 2065 item to be a replacement for talisman for supports that were relying on it in past and were struggling in game without it. And that item is rare to be seen now anyway.
