EPTAlso those items are never slot efficient. When you get to the point where you have 3 items+sighstone you have to sell your gold item so you can buy pinks or just keep the active gold item over getting others. It pretty much never comes into play on this role. By the time you become full build you stop needing gold generation so it doesn't make sense to keep it either.

But I think thats the way they're intended to be used. I imagine Riot was like fuck it we can't stop junglers from getting Sightstone so lets give them Sightstone upgrades so it won't feel as shitty. Basically what I'm saying is you guys are looking at them as support items and I don't think they're intended to be for supports at all. | ||

Just so you're aware, the eyes are built out of support items and riot did say they were meant to give support meaningful choices. | ||

Also, game pacing isn't actually that difficult to change (it's mostly just a matter of structure health, level and average gold income per stat gained. They just changed all that at once and didn't adjust structure health accordingly/properly), both tank and caster supports could get more real items if the games were longer, sightstones will be bought in more positions before preseason is over (probably top because the relic shield one is a fantastic item low-econ and super tanks will come back in a big way competitively), and none of this stuff has been tested competitively, where support itemization, game pacing, and vision are *vastly* different, so maybe don't declare stuff a complete failure until then, huh. | ||

Basically what I'm saying is you guys are looking at them as support items and I don't think they're intended to be for supports at all. Except since their components include gold gen items you are suggesting a splitpusher or a mid laner invest gold into gold gen and more wards which makes absolutely no sense. Why would I think riot are going to change every one of those items, how tanky towers are and change the gold generation? All of those are experimental changes that are still being tested out. They could decide to take a completely different approach. After the rageblade nerfs I definitely agree the tanks are gonna be back though. Also I don't feel like gold items are needed. Just get bandit. It gives you 10 gold per 5 in 1v1 tank matchups. Done that a few times it is cray. | ||

If anything it's the opposite, they nerfed sightstone and buffed trinkets, so junglers wouldn't be able to buy sightstone anymore... Plus they created an entire jungle item purely for warding >.> | ||

The 50% crit is basically trash tier now. Who would've thought.... Taric the new hidden op :p | ||

Again, it bears repeating that Rageblade is only ONE example of a power spike off one item. Heavily agree but in the same time if he has insight to understand that if an item is making such a champion OP and with a nerf to that item, nerfing many of champions in the same time, if one knows what the next best thing is in result of the nerf to an item, that's pretty good but you'd need to explain the whole process to justify the claim. | ||

The problem is if you drop 1k gold on non combat stats, congrats the jungler won't touch you, but the enemy laner will just oneshot you because he has 1k more gold worth of stats. If i could just magically have an eye item for free then of course i'd love it, but there's absolutely no way any position could get away with buying one without it definitely costing them their lane, and likely the game as a result. Like even just buying the actual support items (fotm, spooky ghosts etc) would be infinitely more viable then getting the warding item... | ||

Like, if you compare eye of the Equinox (probably the best one IMO, tanks can justify grabbing a 500 hp item pretty easy) to FotM, they're pretty similar, but FotM has CDR on it. But if the stats on them are too good there'll be no reason for supports to not take them. So its sort of a careful balancing act. I wouldn't be surprised if they get small stat buffs, but I don't think they'll get big ones. | ||

The items aren't good enough for the first option and since on this patch junglers dont need extra ward sources the item's stats aren't good enough for the second option either. Originally I was really excited on it for Rammus, but then I saw it didn't give CDR or the active so I had no reason to pick it up anymore. Literally getting sightstone + FotM is just the superior option, selling sightstone at 6 items. | ||

I'm talking really marginal stuff though. There's not 1k gold difference in combat stats (and sure as hell not enough to get one-shot), it's more like 20cs or so worth. If it had 600 health, I *guarantee* Mundo and similar tanks would buy it in competitive. The problem with the AP one is it's a terribly inefficient combo of stats (just throw away the regen and give it CDR or AP), and the Talisman one just plain shouldn't exist because nobody will ever buy it. | ||

Eye of the Watchers has a problem where it gives mana Regen but not CDR, and its hard to find builds that want that because your CDR item already has mana Regen and not many champions want two mana Regen items. So they either need to drop some of the Regen and add more AP, or they need to give it CDR. Eye of the Equinox I think is actually pretty good on tanks though. It's just competing with Face of the Mountain which, as it turns out, is still OP. | ||

Right so basically it's about getting pink wards now and then sightstone when you leave the laning phase it seems. Fair does. | ||
