What if we had a few less "creative" items?

I was thinking about this the other day. Every item has some sort of passive or fancy thing attached to it. What if we created some items who had superior statistical numbers, but didn't have any special passive? I feel it would further expand the choices you could make making the game better. Lets play around with item 3742. Dead Man's was decently recently nerfed on the on hit slow aspect, and lower extra HP. What if an item existed where instead of the passive MS buff and slow on the first aa, You just had superior numbers? Back to the 600hp? maybe even 600hp + 60 armor but nothing more? People who love the MS buff and champs that synergize really well would still get item 3742, but then others who dont care could itemize better from more variety?

Comments or ideas?

What do yall think?

Honestly that doesn't sound like something Riot would go for. They like you to feel like you're buying an item with an actual effect when you spend your gold, instead of just paying for a bunch of stats. I think most players like that better. They would probably feel guilted into buying the statistically better item, but wouldn't like them because they're not interesting.
