Am I the only one that feels like Wit's End has become a Irelia only item?

It used to be used by a wide variety of champions, and it's passive effect makes people feel really satisfying when you stack it 5 times. Now it feels like a Irelia only item. To other champions this is only a luxury item, also ADCs can not buy it anymore because of their level and their total hp are enough to make it useful. Their only choice now is QSS. THE ONLY CHOICE. Isn't that pretty boring? Other champion only buys it when the game is basically already won. Back then you could buy this item both early game and late game and it was very effective against certain team combo. It had a great place. It made you able to use your brain and really thought about what you gonna build, and that made league fun. I sincerely hope Riot can please take a look at Wit's End's place now and consider about reverting it. A league player since s1.

"Wide-variety" implies it was ever bought in any situation except on-hit laning against AP

It is core on Master Yi and I often buy it on Taric when I play him top or jungle.

I rush it on yasuo sometimes if they have like a 4/5 or 3/5 so comp or something but otherwise that he is the only champ I use it on.

I just had a team get instant stomped by Ashe with Wit's end.

Her Q's rapid fire can kill a 2600 HP champ in .5 seconds with it, and it makes her healing so strong there's really no dueling counterplay.

(What sucks is I was 1v5ing that game, had more kills than anyone on my team than anyone's kills/assists COMBINED and had more assists than anyone's kills/assists combined, so I really couldn't shut her down)

She even missed her ult and STILL was able to kill me in .5 seconds.

I one trick Warwick.. People trying to tell me how good it is all the time, it always feels like trash. Old Wit's End was amazing, it actually lay me get back into a losing game against fed AP monsters(like when Amu is on a roll killing everyone).

That aren't even similar items, I don't know why they killed one to make the other. Give both or revert.

New one is better for all melee bruisers IMO. It's a good replacement for Botrk, which cost way too much these days for what it does.

Since most of them can't afford the expensive lifesteal items, Wit's pretty much fills that spot for them.
