User blog comment:Emptylord/Class Reworks - Itemization Follow-up/@comment-5588011-20160514211025

I guess I'm the only one who likes the Ardent Censer? I feel it's more interactive, and could see more usage that the Soraka with the Kog'Maw. I don't like how it works on all abilities, but I do think the idea of having a distinction than the current "oh hey shields/heals are now always kinda better",  the charge up mechanic feels much more rewarding, especially since the charge mechanic works with all allied champions. (I'm assuming anyway.) I like AOEs too since the current item basically skews it towards Soraka as usual.

I don't see a need for the Aether Wisp changes for the rest of the items however.

The Abyssal Scepter could be divided into two seperate items, as it just feels like a default if you're a mid-range/low-range AP mage facing against other AP mages, e.g. one for assassins, and one for tankier AP mages. I'd even like ranged mages to have some MR, as Athenes just turned into a horrible item for most of them if you're behind.

I don't mind hybrid items now, considering now that Riot is adding AP ratios to AA'ers, though I do think that they should just chuck them on other champions if that's the way they're going to do it. Either add small AP ratios to all champions who would use the item, or just don't have it at all on some, Kalista/Vayne, etc.

I do think Hextech Gunblade is a pretty eh feeling item except for Akali/Jax. But then again an item shouldn't be made, if only Akali/Jax is going to use it so a replacement needs to come. I don't think a reverse back to spellvamp is the way though.

I do like the idea of an AOE on-hit item, other than Runaans, especially since they added crit to it and removed the AOE from Guinsoos.
