S4 Gold Item Passive Names
Hey Riot!
I'm sure you are busy polishing Season 4, so I think this observation is well timed. That said, I could be missing reasons as to why the names are the way they are.
TLDR: Can you standardize the naming conventions of the season 4 gold items? There is no reason to have multiple unique passive names since multiple gold items are not allowed.
Evidence and reasoning:
To simplify and streamline the new gold items, I suggest you apply standardized unique passive names across all gold items. As far as I am aware, different unique names exist so similar passives can be stacked, but since multiple gold items cannot be purchased to begin with, this adds unnecessary confusion.
example (pulled from reignofgaming datamine):
Frostfang (limit 1 gold item) UNIQUE Passive - Tribute: Spells and basic attacks against champions grant 8 Gold, up to once every 10 seconds per enemy. Killing a minion disables this passive for 10 seconds.
Kage's Lucky Pick (limit 1 gold item) UNIQUE Passive - Spellthief: Spells and basic attacks against champions grant 8 Gold, up to once every 10 seconds per enemy. Killing a minion disables this passive for 10 seconds.
I would recommend removing spellthief passive since there is an item spellthief's edge (which doesn't have spellthief passive to begin with).
also, a mismatched name:
Ancient Coin (limit 1 gold item) UNIQUE Passive - Favor: Being near a minion death without dealing the killing blow grants 2 Gold.
Talisman of Ascension (limit 1 gold item) UNIQUE Passive - Favor: Being near a minion death without dealing the killing blow grants 4 Gold.
Icon of the Sun Disk (limit 1 gold item) UNIQUE Passive - Scavenger: Grants 4 Gold each time a nearby enemy minion dies that you didn't kill.
Thanks Riot! I can't wait to see how these items change the game!
