Season 3 Item Walkthrough

[quote=cyberskull]Ionic Spark removed? gg wp..league of legends is dead to me :c (jk but why remove such a fun item :c ..)[/quote]

[quote=Alahric][quote=Avishar] Nothing is replacing HoG? I can't imagine a Support without HoG [/quote]Of course there is, in Season 3 I can't imagine a support without [[Sightstone]] / [[Ruby Sightstone]]. I mean the purpose of [[Heart of Gold]] was to bulk your hp, and supply you with a steady income to buy 3-5 [[sight ward]] every 3 minutes. Supports were also reluctant to upgrade [[heart of gold]] as it took away the gp10, the only execptions to this were 50 minute games and [[requiem]].[/quote]

[/quote] or fed enough 2 buy a [[Randuin's omen]] against AS comps... =D btw, dunno who has noticed, but [[oracle's Elixir]] will now be a very hard investment that will hardly provide u with monetary profit. besides, there will no longer be a "hunt the elixir guy" anmore.[/quote]

[/quote] I see, I was in a hurry and didn't read all the item description, now it makes sense that HoG is getting removed.[/quote]

[quote=21 Legion]Well, I'm sad about some of the items being removed, and some of the reworks look a bit iffy... BUT-- the black cleaver rework looks AMAZING, as well as some others, and I'm ridiculously excited for most of the new items! Great ideas over all.[/quote]

[/quote]You didn't buy [[oracle's Elixir]] for it's monetary profit. You bought it to screw the enemy team over whenever you wanted to set up a gank, or do objectives without being intercepted. I guess this means we'll just end up relying more on [[Vision Wards]] early game to negate vision. But with the addiotional wards from [[sightstone]], you can place another one if the first one gets cleared. It's kind of like map control welfare if you ask me, not that there's anything wrong with that.[/quote]

[/quote] Yeah, the next patch will make it harder to completely shut out the enemy teams vision if they itemize to deal with it.[/quote]

[quote=Gnampftastisch]Hey. I see one thing i realy like: there are so many new and needed support items. but there is something i dont realy understand....Mikael's, Shart, Sightstone........all nice to support, but no Armor. There are support items with Magic Resistance. Why not with Armor. Supporters are the most time on the Botlane and play against AD so i think Armor would be usefull.[/quote]

[quote=xXTacitusXx][quote=astrolia] Tbh, [[Runaan's Hurricane]] is only ridiculous atm on [[Kog'maw]]. The other AD carries don't have strong enough on-hit effects for it unless they also build [[Blade of the Ruined King]]. And then on [[Graves]] and [[Ashe]], it's more like extra utility. [/quote] Teemo <3[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]from my recent testing, [[Blade of the Ruined King]]+[[Runaan's Hurricane]] is hardly worth it, early. Runaan's Hurricane is very nice with redbuff, though... also still trying to work out if i should sill get [[Kage's Lucky Pick]] as [[LeBlanc]]. maybe [[Shard of True Ice]] for some income..[/quote]
