Jungle Items [Feedback and Concept]
This post will contain hybrids of mainly what in currently on LIVE and what is currently on PBE, so if you are in the dark about these things then you may be really confused about things.
Remember jungle [items that build out of Machete] items are limited to only one at a time per champion.
-
PBE Machete worth 400g
-
Scratch the PBE jungle stats upgrade [the cost for the tier stays] The trio of jungle items remain with Madred's Razors, Spirit Stone, and Quill Coat Madred's Razors build directly from Machete [no more dagger so no more attack speed], gain a passive that grants 20% attack speed for 1.5 seconds while in combat with Monsters Spirit Stone remains the same Quill Coat build directly from Machete [no more cloth armour so no more armour], gain a passive that grants 10 less damage from Monsters
-
Once Madred's Razors, Spirit Stone, or Quill Coat has been purchased; you may choose a one Smite out of four options for your jungle item [same as PBE, AoE less cooldown and sustain - on-hit true damage - true damage and slow - counter jungle]
-
One out of four out-of-jungle combat stats may be purchased and enchanted onto your jungle item [same on PBE --- Tank, AD, AP, or on-hit]
Reasoning for this idea is I like the idea of having a bunch of customization options open with the trio of jungle items [I praised Riot for introducing Spirit Stone because it was the first jungle item they got right, and still is]. Anyways, the trio jungle items allows for single target junglers take madreds razors; abilities junglers take spirit stone; tank junglers take quill coat and everyone has the option of what Smite upgrade and what stat enchantments they want on their jungle item opening up the jungle to literally anyone that can jungle or could jungle in the past. This basically will have the game not become stale [as far as junglers go] since anyone will be viable to be played [of course certain metas will favour certain champions to be played in the jungle over others since not every champion fits in every team comp].
Overall, I like the idea of having mass customization for the jungler and seeing what each player likes to do with their jungle item and what kind of path they like to go down with jungle clears, jungle builds, jungle combat, stats to take, smite to upgrade, etc etc
