Can we remove "Wearer is now a(n) X" items from late game creep stages?
Nothing worse than getting to drake and watching the 4 other people get Rapidfire, Guinsoos, Dragons Tooth, Redemption
....... and I get a goddamn knights vow when I'm not even running knights.
Was absolutely dumpstering people, would have easily placed 1st or 2nd. Place 4th instead because everyone got an item they could use and I got rubbish.
There's no reason to have these items drop from drakes, herald, etc. Sure there's the off chance that it gives you the right one and that's pretty epic -- I'm sure that would feel great. But in my experience it never gives you the right one. Always gives you "Wearer is now a blademaster" when you're not running blademasters. Or "Wearer is now glacial" when you're not running glacial.
Its just such a kick in the pants, decides too many games in the later stages. I say remove it all together and just throw a better chance of getting a spatula. Just make it so if one of these "Wearer is now a....." items was gonna drop -- drop a spatula instead.
That way its up to me what I do with it, and it could potentially be helpful. Instead of having a fairly high chance to be absolutely worthless for my composition.
Edit: or how about making it a bit smarter? if its going to drop one of these kinds of items -- check my comp and see what I need. Give me that one. (This would probably be OP, but its just another idea I had after the fact)
