Just another day i was checking the tier itens on the stash of the team, and it hit me: all itens available where removing something. philosopher stone removes attack damage, nether removes armor, and eye of the vizier removes mana.
This got me thinking: like 3 of the itens are clearly for ranged heroes. Probably 1/3rd of the possible available itens has real value for melee heroes. the ritsul extra attack spped is so low i can hardly even see the difference. the whip is counter productive in its use, making you stop to go faster.
Its literally the only tier where itens take stuff out of you. Also the only tier where more than one iten has exclusive effects for rangd heroes. If you play melee, pray you get good itens on tier one, because its probable that you will be keep them for a good part of the game.
