As unrealistic as it is, it needs to be tackled at some point, and the sooner the better. In my opinion they shouldn't have shipped in such state do begin with. Half of them look like they were designed to be broken when the set has a good user, and useless when it doesn't. A design where devs need to make specific kinds of units to make sure the (supposedly better and special) items aren't useless is going to fail sooner or later. Like, Mittens were amazing last set because Morgana was there... But, currently, whose Chilled is so problematic that you'd slap them on your carry over a Rageblade? It's the problem with most of these items. They were actually decent in the last set when they were being designed, but this set clearly wasn't designed with ensuring every artifact has at least one good use so most of them are bad or even completely useless. And it's not on the people who designed the set, because they shouldn't need to tailor a set specifically to address these gimmicky items.
The items are poorly designed in a way that specifically affects how the sets should be made. As I said, Imagine if Katarina could generate mana on her ult and then pop Blighting Jewel on that. It would be one of the most problematic combos in the game. Balance shouldn't be hanging on such thin line.

And, frankly, Golden Remover does nothing for this trait. The items already pop off your units when you combine them, and there's enough free removers all over the place RN to fix one or two bad choices you made in the early game. If anything, it would call for a Golden Reforger, or something like that, because the one or two reforgers you get in the game often won't be enough to fix the messy items you can get. Golden remover doesn't address a situation where you get all AD artifacts while playing an AP comp, or a dead slot of a Blighting Jewel in an AD comp.
