@Riot - A suggestion for Sunfire Cape

DISCLAIMER: I suck at making threads.

Any chance you could make Sunfire Cape geared more towards AP melee champions?

And here's what I mean (numbers may be adjusted accordingly)

Sunfire Cape - item 3068 item 1031 + item 3751

Stats +500 health +50 armor Passive UNIQUE – IMMOLATE: Deals 26 - 43 (based on level) **+ (1 per 30 AP up to a maximum of 300 AP) **magic damage per second to nearby enemies. Deals (50 - 100) magic damage to minions and monsters (400 range).

See, most items are geared towards AD champions (ala - item 3742 , item 3053 , item 3748 ).

So why AP? Well, this item would allow building AP for sustained damage, provide an armor item for tanky mages that would take advantage of it (mages like Mordekaiser , Rumble, Evelynn , Nunu , Gragas , Alistar , Morgana , AurelionSol , Amumu , Zac , Vladimir ), and even encourages them to build AP items. Since a lot of AP items lack defense, they trade off defense from another item slot in favour of a bit more sustained damage.

While it may seem bad for AD champions (although its still the same scaling), they still get the main use of Sunfire in terms of clearing minion waves if they choose to rely less on autos (item 3748 )

Would literally break mages. They would just build it and become that much harder to kill at melee range because of their sheer damage output and bulkiness from the stats

I don't know if 30 more damage will break a mage considering they need to find a way to build 300 AP without being squishy, and even building it will make them lose AP space in their itemization.

Some Mages like Annie would break it because they already have high base damage (and with Annie in specific her E would synergize to well with it) but others like Ryze (doesn't need AP to do damage) would be difficult to rework Sunfires around.

I haven't seen the Vladimir rework, but he's another likely candidate.

Was just pitching it since all these mages are being reworked with their damage being spread around their kit.

But I do see where they can break it.

But do you think Sunfire should stay as a general item or as an AP or AD item?

I like it where it is as a wave pushing item, it's tough to determine if it should be geared towards AP before we see how the new/reworked mage items affect the game ya'know?

Yeah, makes sense.

(1 AP per 30 AP up to a maximum of 300 AP)

What does this mean? Sunfire gives you AP for AP, or is that a ratio?

And that's why I suck at making threads. Thanks
