Spear of Shojin?
Did we get an explanation for why this didn't make the preseason cut? Meddler had mentioned several times, I thought, that they were trying to add it. Too hard to balance? Too many bugs? What's the deal?

Not an ADC item so it can be pushed back indefinitely
On a related note. Is there a reason why Riot is so scared of using the melee only limitation? I mean if you want a champion like Urgot to benefit from both just make it a passive on him that he can. Personally, I think it would solve some nightmare balancing items.
In addition an on-hit HP item would be nice to have in the game as well. Something that gives ATKSPD and HP other than Triforce.
Spear of Shojin should not be added. It is balance nightmare from start. It will do nothing but break fighters.
Ask for atma instead
They didn't include it bcs of the mistake of separating pre season in several patches with new items and reworks in every single one. They decided to put off the warrior and bruiser items for later bcs the game would become even bigger clowfiesta then it is now. Not their exact words but that was the meat of it.
Perhaps it's got overlap with Bone Plating. Kind of like how Riot explained that they removed the Bone Plating + Chrysalis combo. The reason being, champs just wanting defensive stats until offensive stats can outshine the need for defensive stats. So if you were to build Spear of Shojin + Bone plating you'd have defensive stats when ya need em and offensive stats when you don't.
