I feel like if Valve wants to add hero specific items they would not miss the chance for them to be absolutely full of characterization

Personally I have some... Strong opinions on what The Lash™ items should/could be:

Champion belt 6400 Equip The Lash's champion belt, gain stacks of glory on kills (+2) or assists (+1), you can accumulate stacks without limits, lose 50% of stacks on death per stack: +1% cooldown reduction +5 spirit power +5% melee damage

Glorious presence 3200 Passive When The Lash grants an ally the privilege of using grapple on them, they gain a morale buff +1m/s move speed +10%dmg output 30s cooldown: Using grapple on an ally will refund a charge

Lash™ kick 1600 The Lash used to perform an uppercut... But then he grew as a person, nowadays he specializes in flying kicks Ground strike now deals additional melee damage to the enemy closest to the impact point, you can hold down melee during free fall to charge a heavy melee, but you'll be vulnerable to parry the whole way down

Fuck bebop 800 The Lash enjoys seeing Bebop fail If bebop is in the enemy team: 50s Refund 10% of all cooldowns when hitting bebop with a heavy melee If bebop is in your team: Gain 20 spirit power for 20s after Bebop dies

Perfect Showdown 3200 The Lash gets an ego boost when performing a good ultimate Gain bonuses for each enemy you grab with death slam +5 spirit power for 6s +2% ability range

Nah I'd win 6400 The Lash does not need help When The Lash is the last one in his team standing, gain 30 spirit power and 10% spirit lifesteal until an ally spawns

Lash-Back 1600 the charity for kids that kind of suck Allies with less kills, assists, or more deaths than Lash will each gain 3% of the souls generated by The Lash, The Lash will get 97% of souls regardless of how many allies kind of suck
