New Items: Locket of the Iron Solari and Remade...

[quote=example1013]The only real problem I have with these items is that, while they look to be fairly efficient (I'm expecting the total cost to be around 2000-2500 for both), the small buffs provided by the stats scream that these are going to be support-only purchases, since every other role is going to buy a more expensive item with higher stat values. I'm also not sure the hp5 aura from the Locket is going to be all that useful. Hp5 is already a really weak stat past laning phase, and basically useless in a fight.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah, the locket though is mostly for the active and the health/armor[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]They're making too many sustain items for top lane. It's going to become bot lane.. but with only one person. Let's play, "Who can sustain more!" Do not want.[/quote]

[/quote] Idk what you're talking about. The lifesteal is the same amount that a vamp scepter gives, except in an aura. It doesn't provide any more direct sustain than an item with probably 1/4 the cost.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]The new emblem of Valour, gives armor. It's basically a top lane item now. You don't even have to upgrade it and some top lane champs like the CDR. GP for example.[/quote]

[quote=example1013]Emblem of Valor only builds into the Locket (which gives no CDR), and buying a Chain Vest and Regrowth Pendant gives quite a bit more armor and hp5 for only 300g more, besides the fact that those two items build into strong late-game items (Force of nature, Randuin's, Atma's, etc.) that cost a lot more, but also give a much higher benefit. A support would never be able to afford Randuin's or Force of Nature, which is why a support would build Locket instead: to get some cheap, efficient stats that also provide a small buff for the rest of the team as well.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]New emblem sucks. It's a shit version of Warden's mail. It's gonna suck on almost all solo laners, in almost all match ups. Old emblem was an item I would buy very very often, sad to see it go. Starks sucked though, I'd rarely ever build starks.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]They should have just chainged [[stark's fervor]] a bit, working a [[long sword]]/[[pickaxe]] into it and increase the costs. Then [[stark's fervor]] would have AD too, maybe even an AD-Aura. That would be so fun.^^[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]AD.. Life steal.. AS.. Aura! ArPen too! Balanced xP[/quote]
