ITEM CHANGES:
Alliance Item rework
Alliance items no longer have an inherent Tier and are in their own Alliance category.
At the start of every game Alliance items are randomly assigned a tier: 1, 2, or 3 and are then mixed into the item pool and awarded as normal.
Each player can have Alliance items appear at different tiers. For example, player A could be offered Strange Bedfellows at tier 1 where it would provide a +30% bonus while player B could be offered Strange Bedfellows at tier 3 where it would provide a +50% bonus.
Likewise, in the same game, player A could be offered Elusive Targets at tier 2 with a duration of 3s while player B could be offered Elusive Targets at tier 1 with a duration of 2s. All players will have the same number of Alliance items per tier in their item pool.
