so is Lightbringer not a thing on ARAM anymore?

I ask because it builds out of the WIcked Hatchet and the Wicked Hatchet isn't allowed on the Hollowing Abyss (ARAM). So then if it isn't allowed in the Hollowing Abyss can you take it out of the store (or at least put its right build path on to use)? please and thank you.

I only used to get it when going against a teemo. No teemo, not worth.

Yeah. Pretty much what I thought. That or Shaco . But the reason I ask is because the other day I was playing against a Teemo and I was unable to buy it (even though it was in the store).

It lost armor and LS so you might not have been looking in the right spot. It's now AD and crit.

no no. I found it in the store, but was unable to buy it.

It is allowed on HA, and really, it's a needed item for certain scenarios that call for it (Teemo is the prime example).

But Riot basically forgot about HA as a map, and what items are allowed there. They made it build out of Wicked Hatchet, which isn't available on HA. So you effectively cannot build up to the Lightbringer. You're almost forced to buy it straight-up, instead of building into it. Or, a better description would be that the effective recipe on HA is currently item 1018 + 1550 gold.

They either need to enable Wicked Hatchet for HA, or they need to revert the recipe change for HA.

Probably the most sad thing about all this, is that there have been several threads made about it since the Lightbringer revision in 4.12. But Riot doesn't even take notice of any of these threads at all. It was reported on the forums with plenty of time to include that in the 4.13 patch, but it remains unfixed. There's no telling how long it's going to take for Riot to realize what they did and fix it.

I'll have to check again in a normal game on HA, but yesterday night, I did a quick test in a custom game, and Hatchet was purchaseable. Now, I swear I was unable to buy it in the first ARAM I played after the 4.13 patch. So either it's been fixed, or the item somehow can be bought in custom games on HA and not normal queued games. I'll check again today after I'm back from work to see if it lets me buy it in a normal game or not.
