Is it just me or are items boring (for every class)?
As a relatively new player to LoL I feel like a lot of items for all classes are basically required to play that class, but have little or no interesting effects, and don't have much versatility in allowing you to build different paths. For example, if you're a mage you're almost always required to build both of these items
no matter who you are. If you're an enchanter you always need this
, and will probably build as many non-awful items that give heal/shield power as possible. If you're an ADC you take your pick


. The list goes on.
I'd really like it if riot would consider reworking items as a whole after the rune update. I know there's always going to be a "best item build" for all the characters. But with that being said, I feel like you should at least have the option to have alternate builds that are significantly different from each other. Right now I feel like there aren't that many heroes that have many optional item builds, and the ones that do tend to be versatile enough to be played in multiple lanes even without items.
I'd like more items like
. Supports tend to have very defensive items, and while this doesn't let you straight up gank people, it rewards you for being aggressive, and doesn't just stack with other items like
that could make whoever you cast spells on live forever. I'd like all heroes to be able to use unique items that let them build multiple paths like this. Why shouldn't
have the option to build a more defensive item set if that's she wants or needs to help her ADC? I want items that can change the way your character plays and rewards that style of play. As opposed to now where you know what someone is going to build as soon as you see them enter the match.
and
, but those are midlaner items. Which is a problem), enchanters(which the only well balanced items build out of
), and tanks(which is abused by regular tanks too).
with
on anything outside of Veigar anymore?
is the way to go. Its not only cheaper but gives you more damage to tanks and anybody with a full MR item built if I'm not mistaken (it may be that they need 100 MR but I don't remember offhand the exact #)
