Will Sword of the Occult come back?

I have waited since it's removal in patch 5.22. Atma's came back as , Feral Flare came back as , came back just with worse stats. Mejai's though didn't get removed? Then why did Occult? I see no harm in bringing back Occult to be honest, this is a game, and is supposed to be fun. Occult created that high risk-high reward type of playstyle that made you play smarter in order to not lose the stacks. I get that the item was a bit over the top when you had a lot of stacks, but then why just not rework it instead of REMOVING it? Is it possible we will be able to see Occult in season 7 again? Here's a picture of the old Occult's stats: http://i.imgur.com/l7JDPx1.png) Max AD @20 stacks = 110 AD

Here is a picture of what Riot planned to rework Occult into: http://imgur.com/HbW8fvy Max AD @ 30 stacks = 80 AD

Even if it got nerfed or whatever I would still LOVE to get this item back. #BringOccultBackAgain

Personally, (I might be a little biased hehe), but I would love if the item came back. Also, a few of my Rengar OTP friends found Sword of the Occult still in Riot's codes or whatever, it hasn't been removed completely. https://www.reddit.com/r/Rengarmains/comments/4nd3ut/til_the_code_for_the_planned_sword_of_the_occult/

Sword of the Occult had to be removed for Jhin to exist, basically. Jhin gains a huge multiplier on his total AD, his kit would be absolutely insane if he could gain 100+ AD from a single item.

Also Infernal + Elder. Possibility of +36% bonus AD. Crazy high with 100+.

Since BT got nerfed, we've added % AD scaling to make up for it, that only works if all the AD items give about the same AD.

I vastly prefer meja's going aswell. Those snowball items simply aren't healthy for the game.

Reminder that you can't justify Mejais/Dark Seal being in the game while SotO gets shafted Bring back SotO or delete Mejais too

should bring back leviathan too while we're at it.

Never noticed it was gone, TBH.

Never had the thought to build it so I just ignored it.

I would love to see that item return... it was my favorite item!!! I would still play it even if it was reworked and not as good as mejais or whatever. Had great times with my friends messing with sword of the occult + mejais combos on certain champs. I personally lost a lot of personal enjoyment without this item.. Has riot even given a statement on why they took out the item?
