I for one hope Spear of Shojin is viable on Marksmen.

The idea an item is a "bruiser item" and that another class using the item is some sort of blasphemy is the same boring logic Riot seems to use with their balancing of the game for the last few years.

I miss having item options. Spirit of the Eldar Lizard Miss Fortune, Ghost Blade Draven, Atmogs Graves, and so on... Even the popular Blue Build Ezreal was once a troll build, and now people can't stop complaining about it!

Maybe I don't like the way items have been created to be "these items are for these classes!", the forced support items, the forced jungle items, changing black cleaver to be a bruiser item, as well as Trinity Force. Changing Abyssal Mask to be a Melee Item, when it used to be viable on all kinds of mages.

Every time they add a new item they potentially peel back any of this boring, cookie-cutter build pathing characters have. Same items every game every character, aside the rare specialists such as Teemo, and Gangplank.

Stormrazor is one of the most fun things to happen to League in ages, and I'm having fun discovering all the champions it can be built on, if it is the least bit viable.

So what if Spear of Shojin will allow a few Marksmen to be tanky? What if Atmas is good on somebody like Zed? Will that break the game, or just break peoples (including some at Riots) strange obsession with catagorizing items and putting them on little shelves where the other characters shouldn't touch them??
