Itemization for ap champs would be greatly helped right now if riot did one simple thing.

Bring back deathfire grasp.

Deathfire grasp would open up so many more options for ap mages and asssassins that have been constantly gutted from them throughout the last year. The item would not only allow for mages to go for either a more burst method or focus on poke with ludens. But Grasp would allow for ANOTHER Cooldown reduction item that doesn't suck ass on most mages. It would allow for killing magic resist spamming tanks not as difficult (love how ad champs get so much armor pen when mages still get jack) and would allow for some item that could actually decently counter the broken aspect of Maw.

That item was cancer.

You remember how deathfire grasp was used, correct? It wasn't to fight tanks, it was to assassinate squishies faster. Which means, fighters / ADC would be even more reliant on Steraks + Maw combo, while not actually impacting tanks at all.

A better fix would be to remove all of the off tank items with shields larger than some health bars that can be viably built on any AD champion cough item 3156 cough item 3053 cough

An item that allowed certain champions to pull off 100-0 burst combos without even using all of their normal combo was not very healthy.

No, they'd have to nerf several good champions if they brought it back. It warped the game too much around it so I'm glad it's gone.

We definitely would love to bring back all those AP ~~assassins~~ "melee mages" back into popularity Katarina Leblanc Kassadin Fizz let's do it.

No, DFG let them kill squshies easier. Which is not how they should buff mages.

no.. the champs that NEED the buff in AP mid are NOT the ones that used DFG. the ones at used DFG are the ones that are currently still the strongest.. re adding it would just make things worse

Are you trolling haha? As long as the active did 0-10 damage to low hp targets... then no it shouldnt come back. The item should only be a tank buster.

what they need to do is add more mid tier AP items... AD champs can have all sort of mid tier items before they get their finalized item while AP champs pretty much are forced to stay with item 1052 , item 1026 and item 1058 all the way... unless you are building one of the few items that have a mid tier item in their recipe
