It seems you don't know why items are usually turned off. Most people (well, most people around here, anyway) like to keep items off because they add randomness that makes wins and losses less legitimate. Most of us play with items once in a while just for fun, though.Truthfully IMO you can't consider yourself a hardcore gamer if you have items turned off.
