Winterkill1 votesThank God.
Drugoth1 votesCool, now maybe people won't freak out on us support mains anymore if we don't rush the damn thing.

Variks the Loyal2 votesPeople rush Ardent over Sightstone nowadays.
IcyPepper1 votes???
I know that. That's the point. Thread context. It's getting nerfed.
If Ardent isn't rushed first, sightstone will be.
Primaquarius1 votesLow key Sona nerfs, kinda sad
But hey, now we can shut up about this item right?
Variks the Loyal1 votesLooks cautious. Still gonna have similar late game power, but it certainly won't be worth rushing anymore.

Nymzo1 votesGood bye enchanters
Kaìju1 votesI like this. Maybe Ashe won't be as dog shit dumpstered by Ardent now because of the early damage.
waiting for WoW1 votesI'm glad changing the passive was long overdue.
Nevrankroaton1 votesLost 15 dmg on hit late and the buff early are definitely weak now, I think it will put the item in an okay spot for now. Adding more power who is not "too much" and also doesn't allow hypercarries to have such good scaling near mid game.
Honestly I think the item will be good like that, with this nerfs, the changes on runes and some buff, the meta will DEFINITELY change.
Prepare yourselves for a new rise of jungler with Predator.
AcidTheWarlock1 votesJust was about to post this
with the Locket work Meddler mentioned, we could be seeing a burst meta again soon and new runes could actually make me want to play more toplane again
AND AATROX GU COMING UP
I'm finally seeing a meta that could be bruiser focused again
ChiTenshi1 votesReally don’t know why they’re nerfing 
.
Literally destroying Sustain Supports. They should only nerf Ardent Censer then monitor how the game performs without doing any other changes.
doodlebob6661 votesits because of the 
+health stacking that tanks could do, they get to provide a massive shield to their team get more than enough mr from these 2 items, so they can focus on tank items, and they can play more aggressively while still providing peel for their team.
Because of this its never a bad idea to get it, but it also means bursting an ADC is incredibly difficult when they get a massive shield+ support heal and shield+ lifesteal+barrier+heal/heal. Making it way harder for assasins to do their job
Variks the Loyal2 votesThey aren't nerfing it, they're rebalancing it. They want Locket to be a mainstay on Tanks and tanky Supports like Alistar, Braum, and Taric. Currently, it's built by Enchanters for the big shield and AoE Censer application, but if it's rebalanced to be focused on Tanky champions, not only will that take a shield out of the Enchanter's toolkit, but it'll reduce their resistances so they're easier to kill themselves.

Sasogwa1 votesAnyone see the massive +110 hp on resolve buff and buff of grasp? Hello tank meta
SociopathFriend1 votesThis is also because of the impending rune change and the ability to break the attack speed cap. I imagine all on-hit effects are gonna be nudged back and forth a bit in preseason.
