How come staff of flowing water was the only Black market Brawler item added in the pre season?

I, like many, loved black market brawlers and found that every single item in it was balanced (except tricksters glassitem 3829 ) and had a please on the rift permanently. However with the new pre season items comes only staff of flowing wateritem 3744 , designed for roaming ap supports.

what about Matry's gambititem 3911 ? this item was fantastic for tank supports and was great for providing extra safety to your carry, this would be perfect item to introduce as an indirect buff to marksmen along with the marksman changes.

The globe support itemsitem 3844 item 3841 item 3840 ? I thought these were fantastic, they filled a niche not covered by other support items.

What about Lost chapteritem 3433 and all of it's items? Lost chapter was an offensive mana regenerator (Morrelonomicon 2.0) and built into three fantastic AP items that each promoted a single play style (Neverstride grimoireitem 3431 was fantastic on kite mages and was a good opposite item to rylais, Pox arcanaitem 3434 promoted DPS mages and rewarded full spell rotations, and my personal favourite Rite of ruinitem 3430 , this promoted seige mages and a seige playstyle)

I would mention more but at the time of writing this i'm running late for work :P

Anywho, is there any chance that more items from black market brawlers will be introduced or is this the last set of item changes we will see this year?

martyrs gambit is broken. the only way to deal with adc is to blow them up. a lot of them are so loaded with ranged damage, mobility, utility and cc, that being squishy is their only weakness.

giving them essentially 60% damage reduction in crucial moments is a terrible idea.

i highly doubt even the 12% on phantom dancers will remain. otherwise were gonna be back at adc face tanking everyone with lifesteal.

not to mention the effect it has on some melee adc. tryn, yi, yasuo with 12% damage reduction. have fun.
