It seems like Rod of Ages is too well rounded. It gives you a good amount of health, Ability Power, and Mana. Plus the passive is kind of dumb, because it basically just gives stats and makes you buy it early.
I dont know if making an offensive and defensive version would be good or what, but i think this item is really boring

This is true of literally every item. It's what items do.
Hullabaloo9071 votesI was talking about the passive. Its not that common for a finished item to just be stats and nothing else. Unless you count the regen on level up, this item almost does not have one.
Serpents Embrace2 votesNot all items have one at all, so why should this one in particularly be made more interesting to you?
Hullabaloo9071 votesWhat finished Item has a less interesting passive that does not have an active? It really is just a bunch of stats, kind of like the bloodthirster was before.
L7xLoTek1 votesWell, it would certainly be nice if it had a constant hp and mana regen as opposed to when you level up, or at the very least once you hit lvl 18 and the level up passive becomes worthless. They might have to drop some stats however, seeing as it's already some 170% gold efficient at max level without the regen.
Hullabaloo9071 votesi think think would be cool if there was a health/mana item version and a more offensive version. Its a really boring item but is very strong and really core to a lot of champs.
