The "invisibility" equipment has vanished without a trace; star power recovery is slow; the golden holy sword seems to be a specialized set of equipment. (II)

Star Power is quite unpopular among support items. Its effects include slowing enemies and generating a shield with Redemption, all completed in seconds with a single button press. However, Star Power isn't a healing spell; you need to stay connected and move together to slowly restore health and mana. In the fast-paced late game, there's no room for complacency or any delaying animations. In fights, its utility is lower than the lightning-fast initiation of Wolf's Roar. It's heavily reliant on team composition and items; unless there's excellent coordination, synchronized awareness, and precise timing, it's a waste of its slot. Which enchanter supports are well-suited for Star Power? It seems only Yao is a good fit, as her possession and connection ensure a smooth healing process.

Giant's Grip

Once a top-tier item that dominated several versions, a must-have for tank junglers, making them invincible in close combat, the Giant's Grip has been reworked and is no longer a trend. Players are sticking to their roles and returning to the top lane and support. Naturally, no one is building Giant's Grip anymore. Although its popularity in competitive play hasn't waned, many players are still playing tank junglers. However, players tend to build Devourer's Gauntlet because its cost-effectiveness is too high. As the game progresses, tank items and even jungle items are being added. The tank jungle item seems out of place, costing a lot of money and requiring specific positions, and it's not worth much when resold. It's time for the developers to re-evaluate its stats.

The Imageless Divine Artifact

Calling it an unpopular item is hard to believe, but undeniably, many heroes are carving out their own niche with the Ethereal Artifact. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially junglers. Its passive effect is too restrictive, and its benefits are not as good as conventional builds. Why force yourself to adapt and interfere with your development? If it gets forgotten, it's gone. It's more a matter of summoners' gaming habits and laziness in exploring its potential. For now, no one is willing to develop it. Mid-lane utility players desperately need its cooldown reduction and rely on it to turn the tide of battle. Assassins, on the other hand, don't see its benefits.

Golden Holy Sword

Its original design was intended for a few magic-based heroes with special attack methods, such as Irene, Mi Yue, and Sikong Zhen, who all had mixed damage builds. However, now that the build path is fixed in several major directions, inserting the Golden Holy Sword in the middle is counterproductive. It fails to push the power spike forward and is not durable in the early game. Even Sima Yi has stopped using it, and only Mi Yue continues to wear it. You might think it's her signature item.
