So I'll start by saying I really like the Armguard. I don't even play mid very often and I like it. The armor/AP combo was lacking in versatility with just Zhonya's and with the season 3 bruiser mid shenanigans, the SA is awesome.

That being said... a clever and cool item that only builds into one item? I think it can easily branch into some other things.

First, and I'm not going to get overly specific with costs or anything, is Fiendish Codex. Adding the initial growing AP and armor with AP/CDR could help out a lot of spell reliant champions. I haven't thought of a further stacking possibility, but you could easily toss in a blasting wand for more AP in the combined item, or a Kindlegem for more tankiness/CDR (I think the latter option would work quite well on Gragas, for example).

An even better option, IMO, is to combine SA with the Glacial Shroud. I know we recently got a new GS build, but that was really overdue anyway. That was another great item that had only one combine option until the Iceborn Gauntlet. I think as a primarily Armor item, with CDR, mana, and AP thrown in, a combination of these items would work well with champs who like to build tanky but have spells scaling off AP and not AD.

Lastly, I think it would make a good hybrid with the Twin Shadows (it even sounds great... SEEKER'S armguards? That's gold, people). The only problem with this is it feels like you'd need to combine it with a watered down version of the Twin Shadows. But the result would be a well rounded AP/armor/mag. resist item - it could be very good against hybrid damage champs who are otherwise tough to itemize against. I would suggest making a weaker active though, like reducing the "seeking ghosts" down to a single one.

Discussion: Kinda obvious. What sort of items do you really hope to see the new Seeker's Armguard build into?

I want a version that Rammus and Malphite can use to deal more damage.

This item is very unique and I would like it to build into more cool things!

I love the item, I can't wait to see how they adjust other items to build it.

Something I think would be interesting is if the icebourn gauntlets built into something else with the armguard.
the obvious idea would be more AP and armour on the the next level up from it.. and maybe with a slight increase in the radius of the slow? or increase in the slow.. or have the slow stick to targets for a second after they leave it? who knows.

Sorry if this is slightly dead, BUT I felt that starting a new thread expressing the sentiment of wanting more combos for Seeker's Armguard would be nice.

Perhaps into something with more armor, rather than more AP. I dunno, I just think it could go someplace.
