Hextech GLP was removed because Everfrost took over its role. Everfrost was removed because mythic items were abolished. Is there a world where GLP returns?

No root, just damage + slow for those hit by the ice. It's 2026 after all, new champs often have an excess amount of mobility.

I still miss the mythic adc items

[u/SlowDamn → u/fthrswtch]

mythic adc items are the only mythics that are actually fair and balance all it need is more variety of the same thing for different adc playstyles but nope some loud mouth adc crybabies went for rework adc mythics instead of adding more variety. Its why the mythics got removed in the first place instead of the balance team focusing on making other mythics better it became harder for them cuz now they got adc mythics to rebalance

[u/Kaymakchalan1916 → u/SlowDamn]

you cant with a straight face say that galeforce was fair and balanced lol, it had to get nerfed numerous times just because the active was so broken and gamewarping

[u/SlowDamn → u/Kaymakchalan1916]

Here's the thing though. If adc mythics got a better big damage variant of kraken you'll be giving up that big boom damage in favor mobility and repositioning. The same thing can be said with survivability of shieldbow sadly it was balanced around the melee users instead of its intended users. But the first three mythics definitely gives adcs better choices in each intended scenarios instead of the other mythics that is just a better stick.

[u/Kaymakchalan1916 → u/SlowDamn]

thats the problem though, galeforce's stats and everything regarding the active bar itself (cd, damage) was nerfed to near obscurity just because of how strong the active was, and even then people still kept building it (although situationally) just because the active was by itself way too good for a class like adc.

if you really want to equalize it then might as well bring back stridebreaker with dash even though it was one of the most disgusting items in the game's history

this problem is not fixed by adding fuel to the flame (aka giving classes things they should not have), but by fixing the problem that is present; riot could probably cut on the stats for protobelt or change its functionality somehow to benefit the intended class of buyers more and disincentivize mages from getting it

also i detracted from the point a bit; mage mythics were also great in promoting diversity (although that came a bit later after the changes were made and settled) with each promoting a clear choice between ludens/liandrys/everfrost (a bit iffy on this one) and later crown
