First of all let us talk about Hex GLP item 3030 , Because it is new, Riot just changed it. But so far we can tell the new GLP 800 sucks no one builds it anymore, (maybe a bit of Taliyah players but that is just about 50% of it), Its old lover Aurelion Sol no longer builds anymore. Before I get into my point, let us first talk about what kind of champions would need/ build GLP 800. In my opinion, (just my opinion)

Let us began with the POTENTIAL champions who CAN build it

  1. it is those champions who has only 3 damage spells and even worse that some of those has a highly unstable 3rd spell TwistedFate AurelionSol
  2. it is those middle range combat champions who want stack Hp, but the player isn't a item 3027 fan, due to the mediocrety Swain TwistedFate AurelionSol Galio
  3. The slow helps you roam or land a specific key spell or the slow works great when your key spell is in cool down but mostly(mostly) you do not build item 3116 .Chogath AurelionSol Malzahar Azir Taliyah Swain Cassiopeia Karthus

You can argue that most of the listed champions does not build item 3030, but you have to admit that it potentially works great on their kite, think about why Riot wants to update items, because they do not want to see all mid champions building the same path over and over again, Now let us argue why the listed champions should not build item 3030, it is actually very very simple: most of them has a very short COOL DOWN on their spells or they have much better item options Chogath withitem 3800 or item 3001 TwistedFate Cassiopeia Azir Taliyah Swain Karthus much shorter cool down that if you comb well you can execute with regular builds and if you miss it item 3030 can not save you or secure a kill from it. ( but as I said, it could potentially work), practice your skill shot!

About to sum up : it is those champions who stacks HP as very needed, middle combat, non-poke style champions, long cool down with high punishment, a slow could significantly change a fight that your skill shot is much unstable than other champions, due to the HP you stack you do a sustain damage but the item damage added into your kite can back up from having only 3 damaging spells. If your champion has a stun slow or any others, item 3152 performs much better. It is why AurelionSol builds it most, strange but item 3030 with a slow sounds like aggressive engaging item but more used as a defense item.

Why is that? Because it builds HP! the HP with the slow no longer just builds up an aggressive engaging item but it can be used as defensive tool.

What now? Players would say "Practice your skill shot, instead of GLP slow first every time before you use your spell" or " build item 3027 item 3001 for the HP!

item 3030 from a underestimated potentially situational counter play good item into now no one ever builds it.

You want to start item 3285 item 3027 item 3003 depends on your champion type: poke, tanky, scaling late game. You want boots item 1001 item 3009 item 3158 item 3111 item 3020 You want those two items because it is too strong right now item 3151 item 3165 You want situational items because we are not bronze, life is good item 3157 item 3102 You want late game item 3135 item 3089 You want item 3152 item 3146 item 3100 item 3025 because of your champion

Now Riot, nothings has been changed, we all build the same. Please bring Old item 3030 back, it is a really good situational item, plus AurelionSol needs it to survive.

Part two, A potentially good passive for AurelionSol Aurelion Sol has a great, unique model, its tail follows the physical snake-like motion, tail smash is basicly a "push" of the tail when Sol rotates clockwise, his tail will push "something" to the left, and when he rotates to the right, the tail will do opposite. Having so much amazing events of Star Guardian series and Death Star series, please give the creator a little love, he does not even have a new skin! The meta changes, more and more dashes divers, assassins and bruisers in meta now, it is such a frustration against champions like Fizz ZedNocturne who can dodge your Q and R easily and leaving you with smashing the keyboard, or Akali Kassadin KatarinaEkko with multiple dashes infinity jumps into you.

Elise was a great design, but honestly I will never be afraid of a spider WALKING in the street, dislike Nocturne RengarKhazix brings true horror from the unseen. A spider should not walking in the road like walking in the street. Think of Brood mother from DOTA, her webs covers 1/4 of the map and she ignores the walls and high grounds in her webs until been seen and attack. How about a mix of Talon Kayn RekSai ? Elice can create webs in the wall, like Reksai's portal, it has limits Elice can only climb throw it by limits like Talon's E Elice can STAY in the wall as long as she wants, True Stealth, but her little spiders will "betray" her position just like Twitch

I have not think of balance yet, pretty sure it looks more like a spider. Seems too op due to the small amount of counter play, but just a theory.

I think it would be great to have the old GLP back. It's kind of lame that it was changed so that it no longer works on the best champ for it. If Sol's ult is down, he has no way of making distance or even damage a champion that can stick to other champions (Ekko, Rengar, Xin Zhao, Eve, etc.).
