It's time to add a seperate active bar like in HoTs

Riot has been adding a lot of unique actives and things to the game in the form of new runes, but also other effects like Rift Herald. But the truth is that the game can't sustain these effects in its current state. Riot has to get creative and come up with janky solutions to stuff like this like making the shield rune (forget what it's called) proc when right clicking on an ally which they had to remove, and by making Rift Herald summon on the ward slot. To be honest, these all feel like half-assed solutions and cause more frustration than it's worth. That's why there should be a seperate bar added for any active effects like in HoTs. This would make all of these effects and any effects in the future much more easy to implement. It would also make actives that you find on items more clear (Item actives would appear in this new menu as well). They could even have some passive or toggle effects on certain champion kits be put on here. Just as an example, maybe if Riot wanted to implement a toggle on Urgot's passive, they could just put the toggle on this menu. Features like this would let Riot implement more balance levers on champions to improve overall balance. Of course, they could choose to not make any champion abilities interact with this new screen, but it's a good thought experiment. https://i.imgur.com/3WF7VR4.png ######microsoft paint hehe

That quick bar in HoTS, is essentially item slots, since HoTS does not have a shop.

They are pretty much the same thing, at least from my point of view.

I will admit that Rift Herald taking the trinket slot is a little meh, but not bad enough to invent a whole different system to accommodate it.
