zephyr is fine as is. it doesn't need a buff. its a niche item like thornmail and mercurial scimitar

I have no quarrels with Zephyr as it is either, and it is indeed a niche item. But the issue with Zephyr as a niche item is that there are other options. Unlike thornmail's passive, or Merc Scimitar among AD items, both of which are one of a kind, every aspect of Zephyr can be found individually in other items that are more common towards build paths. You could build Zephyr for tenacity, or you could simply pick up merc treads (or SotAG in jungle). In terms of stats, it's outshined by Botrk which also comes with lifesteal. The only time I can see Zephyr as an optimal pick up, is as a melee carry against an AD heavy team in the case that you picked up an early tabi, and even then you have the option to rush a heavy armor item (like Randuins or Sunfire) instead and stick with merc treads for the slight mr bonus and tenacity.

This change essentially keeps Zephyr very close to it's intended job while offering champions that synergize really well with phage another build option, rather than being force into buying a Triforce.

but if they did change it, I feel like it would only need an extremely small add on. I don't see what they could do though without making it op.

I really love this idea

But if you build on-hit stacked passive its better the new Recurve Bow. Now Phage its build on Black Cleaver and its Brutalizer that only have one final build path (Ghost Blade)

So why not put Brutalizer instead of Phage with the Recurve Bow?

item 3134 + item 1043 + 563g = item 3172 3000g

Stats +25 attack damage +50% attack speed +10% movement speed +10% cooldown reduction

UNIQUE: 10 Armor Penetration Passive UNIQUE - TENACITY: The duration of most forms of crowd control is reduced by 35%.

Passive UNIQUE: Your basic attack deals 10 bonus physical damage and give a MS buff that stacks five times 5%/10%/15%/20%/25% by 6 seconds.

Its better IMO. Because Phage now its in Black Cleaver, Brutalizer need new build paths.

This idea I can maybe get behind, since it also addresses the issue of phage having only one build path, therefore forcing any who built it into a triforce.

Yes, you could buy Phage, and later up it into Zephyr :D
May I add the 'May move through units' buff ? OR would that be too much :D

I think that would be a little too much. I kinda like that being a part of item 3046

Roaranor1 votes

Yeah, that would be a bit too strong.

This is good idea. Right now zephyr is very underpowered and needs a buff.

ehh I like the added affect but I like my base 25% tenacity from it saves my bum a lot so I couldn't probably do without if
