Titanic Hydra : What if instead of being offensive, it was defensive ?

Beatrice falls··1 votes·789 views

Look, item 3748 in its current state is bullshit, and we can all agree on that one (I haven't seen anyone building item 3074 for like 2 months)

The active doesn't truly make sense towards the item :

item 3074 having life steal and AD = AoE damage around the champion, applying life steal item 3748 having HP and AD = Uhh AA empowered dealing shit tons of damage ?

So, what if instead of having this AA reset passive, it gave the champion some defensive stats ? Or also got this idea :

New passive : something along a huge punch

The next basic attack used by the champion will grant him a shield depending of the number of champions (and also having a max HP scaling, obviously) getting hit and briefly knocking them up (for like 0.2seconds)

Basically : Not dealing more damage, but still having the same AoE effect on the next basic attack

Thoughts on this idea ? I'd like to see if you find it interesting, or adding some improvements

because it's supposed to be an offensive item for health-based fighters, and Ravenous Hydra is better on champs with high AD ratios like Fiora Riven

why are you trying to take away some champion's only good damage option? Volibear Warwick

Because an item should either bring offensive or defensive stats, not both

I hate items such as item 3001 item 3068 item 3742 because they all bring some offensive power while purely being defensive items

item 3748 is in the same boat imo, and is the "tank" equivalent of item 3074, hence shouldn't be more efficient damage-wise

Lifesteal is a defensive stat.

Titanic isn't the "tank equivalent;" Shen is the only tank who buys the item. It's for fighters who rely on durability and focus on base damage/on-hits and auto attacking. In an extended fight the healing from Ravenous will keep someone like Fiora alive longer than the health from Titanic will keep Volibear going.
