Oh hey, Rageblade is getting 25% attack speed

At least, you won't be be losing stats when building the full item.

I'm still a bit skeptical that Riot can actually keep the item in a good place. (I.E. not getting abused by certain champions.) But let's me hopeful, that his item can actually be reasonable in the meta.

I kind of doubt it will be. Before this patch, the vast majority of on-hit champions looking to take it would also take Fervor. That gave a certain amount of increased value to the rageblade purchase that you couldn't get from other items. Despite that, rageblade was bad. Now that Fervor is switched to AD and Rageblade no longer benefits from having it, I think it's actually an even weaker early item than it was before. The attack speed doesn't seem nearly as important as the lost keystone synergy.

I think it's still complete trash on anyone who isn't a ranged, hybrid, on-hit champion without better options (read: Kayle). I'm not seeing how it could work out.

It's funny how we were complaining about it just 2 days ago, and suddenly it's on PBE. Same thing for Garen :)

I'm a happy dude.

For ranged atleast. For melees it remains a pure splitpush-snowball option as they still have a really hard time getting/keeping stacks up outside of 1v1s, and alot of the items power still comes from the phantom hit at full stacks.

Where did you see this? Can I get a link fam?

48% + 25% = 73%

That's the most attack speed in the game. Nice...

+ + + . I really missed sated devourer, not!

Does the passive work with Mordekaisers Empowered Q. No ??? Well I still won't buy it

72% attack speed (i think that was the stacked number on the item) might be problem. Should get less AS on hit

Still shit.

I'm not going to wait for 6 attacks, i'd be better off going bruiser with raw damage.

First item? It seems sort of expensive and sort of "eh". Early S6 Rageblade was cheap and was strong on its own. But with the new one, you're paying 800g for 10 AD, 5 on-hit, and the double-hit passive. So if you were going to rush it anyway because your stat synergy and on-hit are that good (Kayle), then it's a nice buff. But I think most are still going to want something else for a safer power spike (TF) or additional on-hits (BotRK) to make the combine cost worth it.

Get buffed on PBE back to 8% Current health on-hit damage/ 40% attack speed Get a bonus 25% attack speed base stat, making stacked attack speed at 73% attack speed caped. Do second on-hit effect every 2nd attack at 6 stacks and do basic 15 magic damage bonus . Get a 20% damage reduction, combined with vision of the target, and a 4% of max health as physical damage/50% attack speed Deal bonus 40 magic damage on-hit and steal 5 magic resist caped at 25, to a bonus of 50 Magic resist to the user/ 40% attack speed Include boots of whatever fit the best for your opponent, and 1 tanky Item. It result in a boost of 203% Bonus attack speed. It's huge when it come to on-hit effect. You deal 8% current heal+40 magic damage +15 magic damage+4% max health on first hit and 16% of current health+80 magic damage+30 magic damage + 8% of max health on second hit... It get a huge spike of damage in a short amount of time. Yes hard crowd control negate this, but on a team of low elo and people either burn their CC or have none( Happen frequently) This is a huge damage spike against squishy and even tankier one.

I think it only becomes really good once you already have stacked some on-hit for the phantom hit and attack speed from other items to stack it better.

On for example you could get Tri-Force, the buffed BotRK and a Guinsoo's to top it off. With Zerker's you know have practically capped attack speed and you are an on-hit machine.

Except the fervor changes are straight up nerfs for the champions who benefit from on-hit. Rageblade might be a decent buy but the champions who buy it were all nerfed pretty hard.

I am actually a little sad about this. I liked how a level 2 item had different stats than it predecessor. It was a cool idea that could of been taken to other items. Maybe even help give a niche to a future item that would give a user the want to keep it level 2 and then transition it to 3 after more items. Hextech Revolver was similar but the ones it builds into all have activatables still, it is different than what it produces. Another one I was hoping for is negative stats like -20% attack speed for some reward.
