Avarice Blade-wasnt ever amazing The Brutalizer- We'll miss you sticky Crystalline Flask- who needed sustain Elixir of Ruin- Actually was very usefull, especially on champs like Tristana , Darius (AKA tower destroyers) Enchantment: Homeguard (now everyone gets it after 20 min)- oh god this was a bad idea (the whole 20minute thing) Mana Potion- Garen Brand now practically unplayable Poacher's Knife (replaced by Tracker's Knife)- I think i have bought it once and that was in a bots game Ranger's Trailblazer- RIP junglers who arent actually junglers so they need sustain (Akali Singed Karma etc.) Stealth Ward- Being in Bronze 1 i havent seen people use this item, and the few times that i have it wasnt as usefull as pinks Sword of the Occult- RIP Full AD Darius Fiora JarvanIV MasterYi Twin Shadows (rolled into Frost Queen active)- No one really ever used it, ever Zephyr- Used to build this on Warwick Pre-item 3710 and on some other champions, this was actually a pretty good item, shame no one ever gets it

And thats it RIP Items

Out of all those items, the only one I am bummed about is Flask. That was such a nice sustain item in early game.

Brutalizer will be missed, but it is getting a decent replacement. Crystalline is being replaced by 2 forms of it, one of which has 5 shots and the other gives 15-30 magic damage on single target abilities and basic attacks. Elixir of Ruin was good, but not really used often, sadly. Homeguard isn't being added in next patch, they're moving that up to give it some more thought. Mana pots are replaced by the fact you can pay 500 and get a better flask that gives damage, plus most champs got more base mana to compensate early on. It is VERY noticeable too and you won't be too starving for mana with the new flask. Poacher's new replacement is wonderful and is a better form of Ranger's, really. Stealth wards won't be missed since you get two on your trinket to start with. SotO won't be missed... Twin Shadows was... sometimes used. o.o By supports... kinda? Zehpyr shall be missed for those hour long games and you still got some boots, but you could use some shiny CDR and attack speed. Also, RIP SuperSpeedPony.
