But, but I don't use niche and viable as mutually exclusive terms. When someone talks about is a item viable they are assessing it for a wide range of heroes. If you can't justify building it on a big set of champions save a few it becomes niche. The item is still viable but on specific champions.

Nonviable items are those items where you can make an argument that you simply cannot build on any champion without gimping yourself. I personally think that falls into this group of items. It was meant to fulfill a niche but it failed in doing that and it is nonviable in practically all situations.
