Riot’s Current Plan to Reduce Item RNG

the randomness of champion drops is just the nature of the mode. Sometimes you see what you need, sometimes you don't. Items can make a single 2-star take down an entire team, item disparity is definitely more pressing.

Literally every single game I've played so far someone has a 3-star Vayne by round 2-4 to 3-2. Meanwhile I get my first 3-star (if I get any at all) around round 5-2. It's not the end of the world, usually the rest of their team is just 1-star so you roll over them anyway, but it feels bad either way.

i just feel like item RNG is the least of this game modes concerns. While it might be the first or second most OBVIOUS, and in your face issue, i dont think its nearly as concerning as someone having 4+ rank3 champions and a team composition, while you have 4 2star champs and are struggling to put together a composition even though noone else on the board is hoarding the champs you need.

Yeah 2 star Champs are a trap imho, you pick them and no one is picking them and you reach the drake with just a lvl 2 of those champs, it's s almost easier to build 3 cost Champs i can't figure out why.

Great!

Nope, read it again. It's would still be possible to finish with 2 total items while others have 5.

Not great. This didn't solve anything, just very slightly reduces the extreme ranges. This is perfect proof on how well they listen to the community.

Everyone asked for the same item drop number, Allowing people to have 3 more items than others after the first 3 rounds isn't changing anything.

Champ RNG isn't bad, as people need to get better at buying up many champs to form higher tiers rather than just waiting on a single champ to show up. The items however, there's nothing to do to get more.

Can't you just create a shop and put items there where we have to buy them with gold?

Simple way than finding it on drops.

I mean the drops are fine, but at least add some spice with the eco system.

Because then Riot either has to heavily increase gold gain, or you have to choose between champs or items. And unless you want to be that person with one champion the entire first round, most people are going to buy champions over items.

If they would change it as people keep saying to, guaranteed drop from minions with the item you get being random, then there wouldn't be an issue.

Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, drops are not fine. Having only one item that you got from the starting carousel after the first minion rounds end while your opponent has 2-3 items with one being a complete item is not fine.
