The conclusion we came to was that Jewplank was not OP, but that he was broken, and that there was a definite difference between those two words (kind of in a "newb" vs "noob" sort of fashion?). Kind of the same problem Tryndamere has right now. Is he OP? Nah, if you have the right setup he can be countered more or less, which means you should never really have a huge tryn problem in a ranked game where he isn't banned (one of those "once every other full moon" things), but he does have a rather broken mechanic to him. He doesn't really work right, I guess is a way to put it. Only two champions have ever been OP & Broken at the same time in my opinion. Twisted Fate and Le Blanc.
When they removed Innervating locket, my life as sona died a little inside...
It won't help, the champions will go Fromogs instead of Atmogs. Difference of ~200hp, you lose the regen but gain an amazing slow, and the HP loss is worth 4ad from Atma's while Frozen Mallet gives a straight 20ad on top of the HP/slow. Tad more expensive but it'll work just fine, many players already do this on specific champions (Olaf's a common one). If Riot wanted to fix the complete Atmogs problem they would have to remove Atma's altogether, much like how they "fixed" Udyr and Sona by removing Innervating Locket.
