We agree with you that Death Cap shouldn't be a rush item. IMO it works best when it's a 3rd+ item, and we want to shift it more into that space.

Part of the reason why its a little trickier in Wild Rift is because every item other than Sheen) builds out of a 500g starting component. So it's much trickier for us to give extra power to items that require you to sit on a large chunk of gold before you can buy them.

For those that don't know Needlessly Large Rod (NLR) costs 1250g, but doesn't build out of anything. So getting the item is much smoother in Wild Rift, as you don't need to sit on as much gold. We could make Amp Tome not build into NLR, and ask players to sit on their gold longer, but we like this smoothness so we decided to go this route and see how things play out.

I want Zyra in Wild Rift

If Mana Burn mechanic will be introduced to the game will it be game breaking or not?

Why are there no control wards/support items?
