Zhonya's

xPr1macyx··1 votes·1,085 views

I want to talk about the Zhonya's active. I think it would be interesting if you could cancel the active so you don't have to wait the full 2.5 seconds. It would make for more outplay potential and combos/tricks. I would like to see some high elo player mechanics with this. If you think it would be too strong maybe lower the duration to 2 seconds, or 1.5 seconds and add a move speed boost for 1 second. It could make the item stronger or weaker based on how good you are with it. What do you think, any other ideas to make it more interesting?

I think itd be a cool idea but the point of zhonyas not being able to be canceled is the trade off for saving your life. I think if you were able to cancel it then the item would have absolutely no trade off

so i think we should leave it.

The trade off is if they stun you its a worthless item active

Thats not true lol. If you get stunned during anything then any ''active'' is worthless.

The issue is thats one of the main actives meant to save you. Is also always compared to hexdrinker, which does proc during stuns

Yeah hex drinker does proc during stuns. But if you're getting stunned in the first place, then that means you either got caught extremely hard and deserved to be punished for it. Why would you be able to zhonyas a stun if adcs cant flash in a stun. Or zilean cant Ult while stunned.

The point of zileans ult is to save you right? So why cant he do it while stunned. Same with zhonyas. You got caught. You need to get punished for it.

Thats why people are extremely mad at ezreal being able to ''E'' out of thresh and blitz hooks. He got caught. Yet he goes unpunished for it.

ADCs buy Maw/steraks, unlike mages who dont.

What I was thinI<ing for the zhonyas was that if I activate it before the cc even hits then I could deactivate it and escaI>e before getting collaI>sed on. The tradeoff being if you did get caught you're dead, and the cooldown. I don't thinI< it wouId be too strong if all it taI<es is one cc. I agree with the ezreal comment that e is bs. ThanI<s for the reI>lies fyi my I<eyboard is broI<en
