3 items that are thought to be strong but are actually very “waste” in the current meta

Lien Thanh Cannon

Needless to say, among the basic items of Truth Arena, Lien Thanh Cannon is the weakest item and has the lowest utility. In the current meta, there’s only one Talon is to take advantage of this item only, other key melee champions like Tryndamere, Irelia, Warwick… also don’t use this item. As a result, the Lien Thanh Cannon has an extremely low win rate even though the pick rate of this item is not low at all.

Talon is the only champion in the current meta that can use Lotus Cannon

So why don’t current melee mainstays need Lien Thanh Cannons? The reason is that most of the champions of this type have the ability to reach the target with surfing skills (Irelia, Tryndamere), so the effect of increasing the range from the other item has no meaning. Moreover, with the current meta that requires the champion to put strong damage, items that increase crit, except armor like Infinity Sword, Blue Bow will be much better than items that only have attack speed like Cannons. Bar.

Treasure Gloves

It is a fact that we need to admit that the traditional mage play with strong damage has disappeared in this 6.5 season. The fact that Riot removed Lux ​​and replaced it with Ahri, the unit takes a long time to scale, making the Mage team feel much weaker than before. As a result, an effective support item for the damage mage gameplay is the Bao Thach Gloves, which is also losing its win rate since season 6.5 was updated.

The Gemstone Core makes the Gemstone Glove item unpopular

Another reason why the Gemstone Glove lost its place is the appearance of the Gemstone Mosaic core with almost the same effect. So players now do not need to pair Gemstone Gloves and still possess a huge amount of damage with critical hits from their skills. Perhaps in the current meta, Gemstone Gloves are only suitable for the Yordles – Lien Zion and Corki lineup when this unit makes good use of all the stats that this item brings.

Dragon Claw

Along with the decline of the Mage squads, a team-comp-type item that is Dragon’s Claw is no longer as strong as before. It is true that at the present time there are still formations that deal strong magic damage, but it only exists on certain champions instead of the whole team creating damage like the Mage. So equipping a Dragon’s Claw to tank champions is not a good way to pair items in the current meta.

The removal of Lux and the weakening of the Mage team makes the Dragon Claw squad no longer a good item to pair soon

Even when facing strong magic damage formations, Dragon’s Claw is no longer a very good counter item. If you do not know, at the beginning of season 6, Riot nerfed the damage of this item to 18% of the champion’s maximum health instead of 30% of the maximum health as before. Therefore, the amount of damage that this item causes has become extremely weak, combined with the fact that the mage is no longer popular, it is understandable that people “abandon” Dragon Claw.
