Titanic Hydra needs 1 single nerf

Remove the bonus AD damage that is done to the (single) target. The item, even though the item only has 35 AD, gives from what I've seen anywhere between 30~45 additional damage to its target, then the bigger amount to those behind it. This means, it is essentially giving the attacker almost 70 AD passively through the item itself. Other items that give passive damage such as item 3153 has a very low AD base and the additional damage is based on current health so it drops the further the champions health drops. Only 1 target affected. item 3085 Has no AD base and only does 25% damage to other targets but only a 15 damage boost to its single target. item 3115 is based off of total AP but does not give any AD bonus and only affects a single target. item 3091 Once again does not give any AD bonus and once again to a single target.

item 3748 has a huge defensive and offensive bonus attached to it not to mention significant wave clear that only item 3085 would achieve. It is the only item that the tankier you get the stronger it gets as an offensive weapon. It has a single target affect that gets stronger the more HP one produces on top of a splash affect. It even has an ACTIVE affect that none of these weapons have. Three major bonuses from 1 single item. Remove the single damage bonus if you want to keep the active. Or remove the active because it simply has too much killing potential as it stands.

I see nothing wrong with this post, and remember, at one point they did nerf titanic hydra to have less ad (around 20 I think) however, I do agree it gives quite a bit of damage for how much health it provides, as well as utility for wave clear. Fun fact, I used to build Fiora with this, looked like this

Fiora :item 3748 item 3071 item 3022 item 3742 item 3065 item 3046 (it's a bad build, but OH SO very fun)

I'm surprised we don't see some Yas building it when they go the way of item 3022 . May not be recommended items but if you're going for HP why not capitalize fully on it. Either way I do think it gives far too many bonuses for 1 single item.

Can you make the health damage AoE have a better scaling as compensation?

I see it very often on champions that "should" be building Ravenous Hydra.

Which is a testament in itself that shows people view its worth higher than Ravenous Hydra

Or because burst is so high that there's little need to build sustain. Or that titanics AoE has a scaling while ravenous is fixed.

The passive doesn't effectively give extra AD because it doesn't scale with abilities.

I am aware of that but typically the champs that use it best, Shyvana , have massive attack speed bonus that make that extra single target damage that much more potent.

Yeah, a tanky AA champion is building it and using it effectively. Woah.
