Currently Banner is dual resist item that allows you to AFK slow push a lane. That's essentially the exact same niche as 
. These items are both now built on the exact same champions for mostly the same reason. I don't understand why Banner was changed to the way it is now. What exactly was wrong with Banner building out of 
?

DarkRitual1 votesBanner is in the same trash-tier of items with 
Generally trash, but sometimes good on niche champions/strategies. That is indicitavie of just bad design for the items in general.

- cheap, effective for defense or offense, scales well into the late game.
- Expensive, not effective for anything post nerfs, is not a defensive item and takes to long to scale offensively.
is an absolutely fantastic "passive push build".
You can easily get 2~3 cannon minions, and then run away or place a zzrot at the large wave for added pushing power.

DuskDaUmbreon1 votesI build it almost every time. .-.
It's better than Zz'rot for non-tanks, since the 1st and 4th minions scale off of HP, while Banner simply makes a minion craptons stronger (and immune to magic!)
TotalJerk1 votesI think it was a lot better for non-tanks when it built out of Fiendish Codex. The raw stats just aren't very worthwhile on a squishy support when you already have to buy Locket and Redemption. Going down that path any further basically just means you're building tanky.
