now grants 500 health But a fully stacked grants 300 HP And a grants 150 HP So by math if they set the item to 400 HP you are actually loosing gold worth and stats, u are actually loosing 50 HP.

They changed the build path so it builds from item 3052 and item 1036 instead.

You just have to make sure that you have enough base AD for the 25% bonus to be worth more than 20 AD.

If anything, this is the perfect way to nerf it since low AD ranged champs won't be able to abuse it as effectively.

Hmmm I can always do so with Quinn :D But I think I might just be switching the item into a item 3071

Loss of stats or abilities between upgrades is not unique to this (though it's possible this was overlooked, who knows). item 3800

edit: well, I forgot they changed the build, so that's the real reason anyway

They are still pretty rare, and usually justified.

For Righteous Glory, Riot said it was because they didn't want it to be a 100% rush first item, so they removed the passive that was useful if you bought it early.

There are also things like Banshee and Spirit losing the Cowl passive regen, but they have higher permanent regen. Before, there was also the gold gen from avarice blade, but the item has been removed.

All in all, very few item lose stuff when upgrading.

well you have locket of the iron solari which takes a mantle = 25+mr and the final item gives you only 20 mr and the aura is only to your teammates so I wouldn't be surprised

the aura affects you as well you know? there is no such thing as an aura that only affects teammates... at least not in this game

Nah, Locket provides 35 MR to his bearer. Check it ingame next time you buy it ;)
