Asking Riot to revisit the New Item Set Tool
Hello, I am a summoner who found the Item Set Tool in the old client to be an extremely useful tool that I utilized for almost every single champion that I played. I found that when I was playing a champion with which I had little experience on, it helped to think out their Items before I started the game and place Core and Situational Items into respective categories so I didn't have to spend extra time in the fountain thinking these things through or typing into the Search bar in shop to find something not found on the recommended page. Everything I needed was right there, in the shop without having to waste any precious time looking for any particular item. It felt like unloading a conscious mental task into a mechanical tool that allowed me to focus just a bit more on the actual play and as a result, play better.
Now to why the New Item Set Tool fails to do the same thing. It is simply because you can only make 20 Items sets MAX. This is compared to the Old Item Set Tool which, as far as I could tell, allowed INFINITE Item Sets. I'm sure there was a fixed number, and it was not infinite, but in terms of practicality, I had over 75 Item Sets made on the Old Item Set Tool and was still able to make more, so the Old MAX was obviously much higher. With over 130 Champions in League of Legends and the ability to make Item Set Pages for only 20 of them, this extreme limitation seems very odd. I am no longer able to make these Item Sets for each new champion I add to my pool like I previously was able to do. You could say I now should just make Item sets for classes of champions that share similar items and yet why am I forced to make this choice when previously I did not have to? Why does it feel like a new, updated version of an Old Tool has more limited functionality? It feels as if no progress has been made with this New Item Set Tool and, in fact, the quality of the Item Set Tool has regressed.
I ask that Riot simply Revisits the New Item Set Tool and raise the maximum number of Items Sets that you are able to create. If a cap must be set, At least allow for half the Total number of Champions. That being said, an Item Set for each Champion seems like the most logical choice to me. Ultimately, it should be clear that 20 is a laughably low number for the Maximum number of Item Sets available and I hope that Riot can see this too, as well as understand why Items Sets are so important to some players.
