Enchantment Warrior is incredibly lackluster. I propose some drastic changes.

Compared to Sated Devourer, which gives you one of the strongest passives in the game, Enchantment Warrior gives you 10% CDR and a 60 AD. The AD isn't bad per say, but it's a glorified stat stick at best.

Instead of just buffing the numbers on it, I propose removing the CDR, as it doesn't help with clear speed nearly as much compared to the other three enchantments. With the CDR being removed this opens up items to be put in its build path.

For building AD the other options are item 3044 item 3134 item 3144/item 1053 item 3077

item 3044 would give a small boost to ganking power, but does nothing as far as clear speed goes.

item 3134 armor pen isn't hugely helpful for clearing, and doesn't solve the problem of only being a stat stick.

item 3144 would be very hard to balance, as you could get two point click slows from one item, which would give insane ganking potential and be incredibly difficult to balance.

item 1053 which helps with sustain but it would have an awkward build path and again, does not solve the stat stick problem.

This makes item 3077 the best fit for the job. It helps improve clear speeds with the cleave passive, and has a good active for a lot of champions that need AD more than Attack Speed Khazix JarvanIV Shaco MonkeyKing Pantheon LeeSin With Tiamat, this gives warrior a more clear cut advantage early game compared to Sated Devourer, which requires more time to ramp up. While this does force ADCs into building Devourer, they benefit much more from attack speed than flat AD (aside from Graves, but he doesn't need any help anyways).

The finished item would be something along the lines of:

Enchanment: Hydra/Warrior +50-60 AD +100% Base Health Regen Passive (Melee Only) Unique – Cleave: Basic attacks deal 20% to 60% of your attack damage physical damage to units around your target – (20% AD near the edge). (350 units radius.) Active ( Melee Only) Unique – Crescent: Deals 60% to 100% of your attack damage to units around you – (60% AD near the edge) (10 second cooldown) (400 range).

Build Path: item 3711 / item 3715 / item 3706 ( 1000g ) + item 3077 ( 1200g ) + 400g = 2600g

As much as I'd like the idea of your enchant (which is cool), warrior IS supposed to be a glorified stat stick. It is supposed to be the go to for junglers who want early power in ganks (hence the 10% cdr wich helps ganks a lot), that's why it's bad wen you just want to farm: item 3930/item 3931/item 3932 is for farming, item 1402/item 1410/item 1414 is for mages, item 1401/item 1409/item 1413 for tanks. While Warrior is for hevay ad scalers and hevay ad gankers since it provides a lot of ad and some cdr for cheap. Your enhancement would just break champs like lee who already build warrior and have an incredibly good clear speed, and would make the one who are supposed to be slow too fast. But really the idea of a hydra jungle item is incredibly cool have an upvote! ^^

The idea is cool but the CDR is actually really good on a lot of AD junglers. The reduction on CD for Rengar, Nocturne, Kha, Lee, Jarvan, and even Quinn is actually pretty critical to their success. Warrior nocturne and repeat especially have high cooldowns early so it makes a huge difference.

Disagree. Shaco loves the CDR.
