So that next season people can ask for an 8th? And the next a 9th? What is wrong with 6? We even get a free one to help with warding.

How long has the game been on six item slots friend?

What's your argument? That it should just steadily increase over time? Like I said, we already got a quality of life item slot change in the form of the trinket slot. There is absolutely no reason to keep increasing it.

How about we lower it to 5, instead? Hmm? Anything against that? No? Okay, let's do this!

Seriously though, game length, and late game power on every champ, and all item strength is measured according to 6 items per champion. Add a seventh, and you screw with core game balance. It COULD be done, not quite as sure it SHOULD though.

Burst mages with more CDR or survivability, Full Crit carries building more sustain, tanks being tankier, fighters having some more of everything, supports being even more useless statistically in the end-game...

You just said all the reasons it'd be awesome to have seven items mate! :) Everyone benefits, therefore why not?

I'll give you a reason. Because often times late game people have a lot of extra gold (even after upgrading shoes, trinkets, and elixirs). It would be nice if we could put that extra gold into something useful.

We already have 7.

Because a 7th item slot disproportionately benefits a single class: ranged AD carries.

No other class comes even close to benefitting as much as they do.
