Zhonya's Ring was a powerful item in League of Legends that was removed in patch V1.0.0.108 and split into two separate items: Zhonya's Hourglass and Rabadon's Deathcap.

Final Stats:

• 120 Ability Power
• Unique Passive: +25% Ability Power
• Unique Active: 2-second stasis (invulnerability and untargetability)
• Cost: 3460 gold
• Recipe: Needlessly Large Rod + Blasting Wand + 1000 gold

The item was considered too powerful as it provided both ultimate offense and defense for casters, leading to its separation. Its core functionalities were distributed between:

• Zhonya's Hourglass: Retained the stasis active ability
• Rabadon's Deathcap: Inherited the bonus ability power passive

Notable Changes Before Removal:

• Initially granted 500 mana and had different damage passives
• Underwent several recipe and cost adjustments
• Had various bug fixes, including issues with stealth and Ignite interaction
• Originally called "Zhonya's Ring of the Minddreamer" in earlier patches

A similar item, Wooglet's Witchcap, existed with comparable functionality but provided armor while offering 20 less ability power.

The item was featured in the Journal of Justice (Issue 21: Inside the Vault) before its eventual removal and replacement.
