For today’s video I thought about talking about a history of item design in League of Legends, talking about why items were removed in the past, and whether or not removing them was a good idea.

mages still feel like trash you can´t stop a fed ad champ at all. ad assasines just one shot you and bruiser and adc heal and become drain tanks. They should take out a lot of dmg and nerf lifesteal by alot
To defend Pokemon here for a bit, there is very good reason for them to start excluding Pokemon. There are currently 898 Pokemon if we include regional variants. Consider how hard it is to port over every existing Pokemon on top of all ~100 new Pokemon every single generation. Sometimes it's easy, if you're using the same engine, but Sword and Shield was a new engine on a new system. That means they would have to create new models for the Pokemon and animations for all of their moves on a massive deadline, because Game Freak aren't ever getting extensions, they have to get out new games in line with the anime otherwise important people get very upset. They're coming to a point where they physically can't reasonably port over every Pokemon, not in one set of games anyway. Sword and Shield ALREADY has a lot of issues, and none of those would be helped by them needing to port over so many more Pokemon. So respectfully, no, there is good reason for them to leave out a ton of Pokemon.
Didin't they basicaklly delte aatrox there is zero resemblence to his old kit
Magic pen item against shields don't even help fighting shields.
Maw, sterak, shieldbow activate under 1k hp threshold, while stoneplate give way too much mr(with other items too) for pen to be worth using.
Even then you get increased pen from 10 to 20, so only 10 at most. Any squishy target, specially below 18 lvl have under 2500hp.
No AP QSS is the biggest crime imo for not existing, you can easily also throw AD hourglass into that conversation
Personally I just miss Force of Nature, between that, thrownmail and warmogs you could chase people around turrets for fun with Skarner perma slowing with Q. RIP FoN.
What gets me angry is that they removed adaptive helm when they add a second lyandries burn item that everyone builds, then saying removed because no one builds
Honestly the new AP item shadowflame that is supposed to counter shields isn't great for dealing with its intended purpose. It mostly just makes you burst squishier targets faster because of the flat magic pen but unlike serpents fang which actually negates some of the shielding which is super useful for champs like tahm who basically get an entire second HP's bar worth of shields or the massive shield from steraks it doesn't actually deal with them all that well. Side note gunblade is the item i miss the most i don't see why they had to remove it
I really hope the give ap basic attack champion like teemo or kayle their own mythic item instead of just strike up building riftmaker
God I fucking hate Riot design team. Who thinks it's a good idea to remove items that aren't even degenerate?
woah first time ive heard someone say "pokemon shield and sword" instead of "sword and shield"
Banner of Command and ZZ Portal where the best thing ever. So sad they gor snaped
brutalizer is literally serated dirk, frozen mallet is seryldas grudge, ADCs had grievious wounds in season 9 too, it was mortal reminder and lord doms in one, spear of shojin's idea got put into navori quickblades but its a pricey item. hullbreaker suffices as a splitpush item
Frozen Mallet and ROA deserve better 😔 can't wait for s13 when Divine is still as busted for no reason… might aswell build it on every melee at this point
Vars says that only GP disapeared from game since of his death
Meanwhile Jax and his reference to be deleted:Suprise im back
Juggernauts are still waiting to have good itemization
imo as a 9 year player now, i loved season 11 but at the same time it kinda killed 4fun builds, like it seems as each champion only has 2 or 3 mythic options, and the mythic themselfs kinda limits where your build is going. With some changes tho the mythic system could be way more fun, for example, with no mythic passive and more legendaries with meaningful passives and stuff i think it'd be better
I miss hextech gunblade, riftmake is just a bargain bin version. And only cause apparently, riot wanted to remove hybrid items… IT ONLY WORKED FOR AP CHAMPIONS MOSTLY AND WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT FOR AP BRUISERS NOW! That and it did hybrid damage…. BECAUSE THEY'RE ARE HYBRID CHAMPIONS! Especially…. Yone… So they can't even with that logic!
what do you mean never removed champion?
old taric + old attrox
old taric used to be ap viable now you have just tank
Video idea: Discuss champions with wall abilities
I really want you to talk more about riot trying to balance the game for pros rather than us the other 99% of players. Like you said they removed trackers because of pros, i miss trackers cuz i Mained lee for a long long time and having that removed basically kicked me off the champ because I felt very limited in my plays. I couldn't always wardhop, i had to flash kick or hope i could flank effectively. I miss sight stone too, that was like my first item as a support because it was so cheap and provided flat heath, arguably the best stat early game.
Good video, but you saying "Shield & Sword" is cursed
Ohmwrecker literally needed just stat change. Its active was great purely for splitpushers, who had advantage in lane, but was giving stats of a tank, rather than bruiser/assasin which could actually make use of such item. Make it give ad instead of armor and boom, item fixed.
anyone remember poachers dirk?
R.I.P ZZ'Rot Portal. :'(
ow so rod of ages is now Seraph's Embrace
I was that a-hole that would use zz'rot and banner of command on Singed back then, it was so much fun to just piss off people with that bullshit lmao now I don't even play the game
this season items are boring and all the same everything is the same every match last season i saw all sort of builds 🙁
As much as many people are complaining about the removed items. I always believe in Riot's decision. It proves how the game is still running strong after 10 years.
Give me deathfires grasp again. The pentakill song is not the same as before.
Would love to see this for other things such as summoner spells or lika a big one bundling together turretplates, plants and stuff
i miss s10 sanguine blade (i think is what it's called?) i just used to split push as kayle with lt and i'd gain 3 as with 1 item, it felt so good 😀
Its weird hearing someone saying Pokémon Shield and Sword instead of Sword and Shield hahaha
also mages and adcs are whiny and have been fine
