Talk:Named item effect/@comment-192.219.237.56-20130218072903

Why do all the single item named passives say "The fact only one item grants could imply a second item was planned, such as an upgrade"? It just doesn't imply that at all.

The developers clearly stated they were naming all unique passives so as to clearly distinguish between what stacks and what didn't. This of course was a bit of a fib since there are exceptions, such as a few champion statistic passives like penetration and CDR, and some items they overlooked or didn't feel the need to name like Sunfire and Rylai's. But either way, they made it clear that their intention was to name all passives, regardless of how many items actually used said passive.
