User blog comment:GreenMoriyama/Custom Item Concept - Silent Chime/@comment-26378838-20170202175802

Hi GreenMoriyama, I really like the concept of having a new, cheap item with a brand new mechanic, but in regards of stats and build paths, I'm not really digging the execution.

1) Considering the niche of this item (supports trying to spot junglers and mid-lane mages trying to spot assassins) and the overcrowded group of the + combo, I think switching the for  would be better for the buyers and fill a niche that Riot has been abandoning over the years.

2) Basic Item Version: If you look at items that are only meant for the early game, they're very gold efficient (with the exception of, partially explaining its low popularity). I'd rather have 600 worth of stats with no active and pay the whole 475 in my pocket at the start of the game than having a cheaper item with the active.

3) Advanced version: For a throw-away item by the mid-to-late game, 1100 is still an hell of an investment to make, considering it won't pay back fully. Again, I'd rather pay more and get an item that I can keep in my inventory for quite a while than a cheaper version.
