About the change on recurve bow on pbe

jjookkeerr··5 votes·769 views

only i think is a bit illogical it gives 10 PHYSICAL damage on hit? the 2 items that use recurvebow are item 3091 that do MAGICAL damage and item 3085 that usually is bought by magical damage dealers with hit effect on kit (Kayle ), now only kalista of the ranged physical damage dealers buy it with success and runnan's dont have that +10 bonus hit. The new recurve bow should do magical damage on hit not physical.

Runaan's has always had that 10 damage on-hit, it just goes largely unnoticed because it's also doing half of your AD along with all other on-hit effects.

I'm fairly certain the changes are to make building Runaan's more appealing, not to make the actual item better for those who are already buying it. It's a fun effect that could benefit so many more ADCs than Kalista (And Twitch, IMO) if building it wasn't JUST Attack Speed.

i'm sure that + 10 damage on hit will not make the item more appealing. They should create more hit effect items

I meant the actual process of building it. While building Runaan's, all you're getting is attack speed. With Recurve Bow getting that slight change it might make the gold sink less heavy.

... But I do agree! I'd love some more On Hit items.

Except it barely changes Runaans. Right now Runaans deals 10+50% of AD on bolts. When it changes it will deal 50% AD on bolts and have a 10 bonus damage on-hit effect. It literally only gains 10 damage on the main target... In fact its getting 100g more expensive for that 10 bonus damage.

BotRK and Devourer benefit a lot more, they have a much smoother build path now. They have a transition instead of sitting on 800+ gold

You forgot that its being added to item 3153 which deals physical

item 3085 item 3153 vs item 3091

only kalista of physical damage dealers build runnans and ruined king, alot of tank that do magical damage can build wits end and also kayle. There is more magical damage dealers that buy recurve bow than physical damage dealers

Actually its factoring into Devourer as well, which is also magic damage...

Potential Runaans buyers are

Kayle Teemo Varus VS Kalista Jinx Caitlyn KogMaw

The only must buyers are Kalista and Kayle, so tiebreakers are the ones that can without trolling

kog's hit effect is magical, cait but not becuase hit effect, is because her passive stack faster

It's ok. You get a whole 15 more raw damage when upgrading it into Devourer, or even more when into Wit's End.

I agree, item 1043 should start out dealing magic damage and should transition to physical damage on the appropriate items. One minor quirk the current on-hit physical damage is going to lead to is that it'll synergize with life steal, but won't anymore after upgrading it to an item like item 3091 or item 3710. It's not that big a deal, but it's something that switching to magic damage could easily solve.

I so agree that that item could use some help. The bolts are really fun and nice on range with weaker wave clear but building it is painfull.

The +10 physical dmg passive are added on all the items or only on Runnan?
