Ever had an item that you used to dislike, then...

[quote=Meshly]Rod of Ages for me, when I was new I only looked at it's passive and saw it gave sustain. Thought it was useless. Then I started using the hell out of it when I realized you rush the item and by 20 minutes it makes you not as squishy and gives you a bonus 20 AP. And I found that level up passive I found useless really helpful. In an opposite sense I could say Sunfire Cape, thought it was really good. Then realised that it only gives slightly more health than a Giant's Belt and slightly more Armor than a Chain Vest. (And the passive is only good on a few champs.) Though I still use it on champs who go good with the passive and it is a Giant's Belt and Chain Vest in one item. So by no means do I recommend not using it.[/quote]

[quote=Foo18][[Athene's unholy grail]] was like that for me. Now that it is heavily nerfed, I don't like it that much, but I still like it more than I did on release. For the opposite, I used to like [[rylai's crystal scepter]], but now I realized how shitty of an item is is.[/quote]

[quote=MyRepublic]Philo stone. I used to think gp5 was stupid, not to mention that I thought regen was useless. Then I started building it on people like Nidalee and Orianna and my mind was changed. On the opposite I would have to say WOTA. I just can't bring myself to ever find a good reason to get it.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod][[zhonya's hourglass]]. I didn't dislike it per se but it was my first item with an active and I just couldn't do it right and got frustrated. Now it's like WOOOO INVINCIBLE BITCHEEEEEEES[/quote]

[quote=DemonSovereign][[manamune]]. Back in S2, I used to like it because I loved to spam my abilities and almost went oom without [[manamune]]. Then I learned how it was better to go straight for damage instead. Now after the S3 pre-patch, I LOVE IT! [[muramana]] ftw![/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Delicious... [[Lich bane]]. Really loving it for bursts.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]have a lot of that stuff used to love RoA, WotA, Rylai's, rageblade, wit's, bloodrazor...lols. opposite: sfc, avarice blade, thornmail[/quote]

[quote=devdevil]Used to not care about [[athene's unholy grail]], actually. But then I saw the mana regeneration :P I agree with FalseoGod on [[zhonya's hourglass]] xD Also, I didn't really get [[archangel's staff]] till recently, along with the new buff :D[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]Manamune indeed.[/quote]

[quote=Datoxx]black cleaver for sure[/quote]
