Atama's Removal - Where's the replacment????

Atama's is one of only three items with Crit but no AS. With removal of Atama's there will only be two left: IE and Executioner's Calling.

Executioner's Calling only offers 25 AD, 20% Crit, an extremely situational passive, and is not slot efficient IMO.

That leaves only 1 item for champions that want Crit but don't want to spend money on wasted AS stats.

If you have to remove Atama's can we get some other crit item w/o AS?

In a game that is based on situational buys and builds that must be reactive to who you are playing against, why are you pigeonholing champions that want crit but AS would be wasted stats, into an every game, must buy IE?

If you must remove Atama's, buff/completely change Executioner's Calling, or give us a new crit item, NO AS.

Reasonable?

EDIT:

I'd love a 50 armor 50 AD item. I don't get why AD and armor have no crossover item-wise aside from Atma's (which is going bye bye).

Another very good point made by AtheosisX. This is one of the few AD/Def items. With AP/Def items being so common and efficient seems odd to be removing one of the few AD/Def items. Maybe Atama's could be split into two items, one that keeps some form of it's AD scaling passive and Crit, and a seperate item that is AD/Armor. IDK Just ideas.

I will miss Atma's. I hope there is a viable replacement soon, as it was one of the few items that tanky champions could take to flow off of their stats and still give them some bite. I don't see why this is being removed when the Tear items remain, as I see them as the mana counterpart to Atma's.

Who doesn't need attack speed?

Nope, there will only be IE left. Executioner's Calling is also getting removed, along with Sword of the Divine and Guinsoo's Rageblade. RiP in Pepperonis.

Why no AD/AR item in the horizon. Because bruisers are still a scary reality.
