Can we get some new items, please?

I just always feel like there's not a lot of variety in builds. Playing a mage? you're gonna have these 4 or 5 items. ADC? these 4 or 5. There's not a lot of chance to diversify, try new things, or break out of the mold. A lot of items have only 1 build path... item 3751 item 3191 item 3140 etc. Fighting a Mundo? You're gonna' need item 3033 or item 3165. Getting CC'd by the enemy mage too often? You're gonna need item 3140. Hope you weren't planning on buying an AP item. item 3136? Guess you're going for a DoT type build.

It makes the game feel stale. And when Riot does an overhaul or update to something that apparently doesn't work, half the time they just get rid of it. Spellvamp items? Obviously mages don't need sustain. Zephyr? Maybe I want some tenacity, Riot. Rather than fixing the underperforming items or fixing the overpowered items, Riot deletes the objects in question so they have less stuff to worry about balance-wise. I get it, but it sucks.

Can we skip a new champ or two (the roster is impractically large already) and get some new items instead?

You don't see the problem that a single item could do one new item could literally fuck the balance of a champion and get it nerfed

Id like to see an AP assassin item now that Duskblade got added. But I dont think League needs a lot more items.

They'll add and rework items at the start of the new pre season. they usually work on it after ranked ends
