Make Ohmwrecker Useful.

I'm sick of being dived by lee sins who get out scot free and of leblancs who taunt me just cause they know they aren't risking anything. fighting under tower should be a huge risk, but it isn't. if towers were buffed significantly in damage and maybe resistances, diving tanks would have a reason to buy ohmwrecker. there could be an entire niche of items that effect towers for short periods of time id est, a smite that works on towers that reduces damage and/or draws agro for x seconds, ap items that damage towers or reduce their effectiveness, etc. it just sorta sucks at this point. I hope they improve this area of play after the mymu 2016, perhaps with diving fighters/tanks.

ps and for goodness sake if we could actually use {{summoner:17}} in some form on summoner's rift that'd be great id est, boost resistances, boost fire rate to 1.2 and/or shot damage.

actually i find item 3056 very useful! my friend will play support Nautilus or Janna while i play Yasuo adc, builds item 3056 and sometimes combined with an item 3504 or item 3742 (depending on who he is playing) and it obviates the need for boots because ohmwrecker gives a huge MS boost near towers (the other items also give movement speed just not near towers) so he basically gets an extra item slot. and with the ohmwrecker active we're able to dive and then snowball really easily from there if we aren't already. got from silver 4 to where i am now, gold 3 promos with that.

with that being said, is this thread about towers being buffed or making ohmwrecker more useful?? or what? jw

People already cry about towers being underpowered and unsave. Now imagine what clownfiesta would happen if this item gets viable. Its active is pretty unhealthy, let it be. Imagine it would be costeffective and snowballing bruisers or tanks could buy it, imagine nautilus going firstblood because of a gank, rushing that and then destroying you with his jungler (elise or lee) everytime its up. It would be horribly frustrating, I am happy its not like that.

Yeah I agree. Ohmwrecker, instead of just having an effect on enemy turrets, it should also give extra stats for frendly turrets for a few seconds. Like giving more AD and attack speed, or giving more damage resistance or more armor and magic resist or just being immune to damage for just 1-2 seconds.

Not sure making Ohmwrecker mandatory to dive will be very helpful but I honestly see no other solution to the situation.

So I agree, force tanks and supports to buy Ohmwrecker and dive with the carries.

Give it a passive that gives 50% stat increase to turrrets and buff hp def in exchange for 3k-3.2k price.

i agree omni recker needs a buff... but honestly its stats arn't that bad, whats bad about it that active is worthless. the towers are so freaking weak right now the extra cost of the active on it makes it not worth the cost becuase you never need it

Ohmwrecker will never be useful unless it gives insanely high stats.

There's just... Not enough niche to this item. It's meant to be used early-mid game because only then do the turrets have any damage, but no champion in their right mind rushes Ohm over any other item.
