Redemption?!?

I just watched a couple of videos about it, and this item is INSANE! It'll make champions like Mundo incredibly overpowered! Not only are the stats overloaded and too perfect for heal tanks, but the active is just stupid. 10% max health true damage in a massive AoE from across the map while dead? Heals the whole team while doing so? Clears waves and minismites during a teamfight? SURE WHY NOT? "Here have some sustain combined with tankiness and high mana regen!"

Rito please! Don't do this to us...

Riot is awful at balance. I didn't think anyone could do it worse then morello, but riot proved me wrong.

I know they are trying to make the support role more popular but this is a bit much, and i say this as a support player.

its funny how everyone is freaking out over redemption because of its weird little quirk being able to cast it from long range while dead. the damage component of the item will be entirely irrelevant in almost all scenarios, due to the longass delay.

when the actual problematic item is going to be knights vow.

the item is either going to make tank/bruiser bot lanes viable (which would be fine) or break tank/adc comps.

12% damage reduction from knights vow. 6% damage reduction from bond of stone. 12% damage reduction from phantom dancers.

does nobody else realize how tanky adc are becoming just for having a support sit next to them, and do nothing? and buying what is probably one of their most cost effective damage items?

How is a teamwide free potential 5x fiora ult and potential 50% max hp true damage in a teamfight "irrelevant"? I couldn't care less that you can cast it while dead, I just think that active combined with its regen and health are broken.

because its on a 2.5 second delay.

thats like a full zonyas active. if youre not able to move out of range of that, youre doing something wrong, or the enemy team played it extremely well. the damage of the effect will rarely ever play a meaningful role in fights.

the heal component will be more impactful in most situations.

That's like a nami-yasuo or gnar ult and you win the fight.
