Let's be honest, Trinity force is probably going to get nerfed

HateDaddy··109 votes·5,753 views

And instead of nerfing the damage proc, instead of removing some AD, can you just remove stinger from its build and have it build out of recurv bow instead? This way it only loses 10% AS and 10% CDR, bringing it back in line. When champs like Ekko are building this over item 3100, I see a problem with the item. And the item was fine until you changed it giving it 20% CDR

Sincerely,

A concerned Jax player

Just play Riven and stomp him level 2 or 3.

MAYBE kill him at 2 or 3, then proceed to get ganked because hes last hitting under his turret/

Or freeze the lane. That works great too.

Or learn to freeze? Not to mention Nasus is useless early so even if you get ganked Nasus can't really do much against you.

Idk about a item 1043 ... If Trinity Force needs to get nerfed though... I'd rather see it lose it's CDR than the other options...

It has two items that give 10% CDR, you can't have it build out of these two items then have the item take you from 20% CDR to 10% CDR, that's way too counter-intuitive

It would need to have Recurve Bow's onhit passive :V

Well no ofcourse you wouldn't, you play Jax. The champions abusing the Fervor TriForce synergy wouldn't mind at all.

Many of these champions have/would benefit much more from the attack speed/CDR from stinger than they would the 15 on-hit from Trinity

1011001110002 votes

Not to mention Recurve's 15 on-hit doesn't even translate to some of the items it builds into. item 3153 item 3085

You could just change Stinger to Recurve, take out 10% AS and 10% cdr, and functionally the item'd be fine.

ProfDrDeath18 votes

Err. Do you actually know what these items do?

item 3153 has an on-hit passive that deals physical damage, with the minimum damage being 15. item 3085 has a passive that gives you 15 physical damage on-hit.

Gary B Enkelis1 votes

I didn't know that about item 3153 and it's not in the item description in the Custom Item Set list nor the website. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/items/

The wiki says Minimum 10. Where did the other 5 go? http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_of_the_Ruined_King

SlowRoastedPoros1 votes

item 3153 "Basic attacks deal 6% of the target's current Health in bonus physical damage (max 60 vs. monsters and minions) on hit. Life Steal applies to this damage."

item 3085 "UNIQUE Passive - Wind's Fury: When basic attacking, bolts are fired at up to 2 enemies near the target, each dealing (25% of Attack Damage) physical damage. Bolts can critically strike and apply on hit effects. UNIQUE Passive: Basic attacks deal an additional 15 physical damage on hit."

I dont know if you're drunk or something? lol

Gary B Enkelis2 votes

That says nothing about item 3153 doing 15 damage minimum. Does it?

Also, remember, Recurve Bow has On Hit physical damage as a passive.

Honestly, I agree that it needs changes, but I think a item 1043 is the wrong component. item 2015 would be much better IMO, it gives extra burst damage but less attack speed, and would honestly make the item a lot more unique again, rather than just a ball of CDR and attack speed like it is now.

Why not just revert the change back to zeal? If anything, the small amount of crit made it a more versatile option for a large pool of champs; the massive 20% cdr if anything is what's causing the bullshit withEkko/Yasuo/etc.

If Trinity gave 30 AD, AS, and OnHit damage I would be absolutely stoked.

It was a real shame when Riot made it so Trinity no longer gave 30 of ALL THE THINGS.

I'm in full favor of Wit's giving 42 IAS, OnHit, and base MR. If the price needs to go up a little then so be it.

Remove the MR shred and reduce it 2400 with everything being buffed to 42 and it might be considered by more then Warwick.

Why? On-hit items provide mostly magic damage and champions that get it, Warwick included, also do natural magic damage.

It's one variable but it's not the single problem. I'm just concerned to see bruiser Ekko still be a thing despite the fact it's been nerfed time and time again. I even see many full AP Ekko builds go Trinity force still.

Ekko has in incredible synergy with sheen and quite frankly, I'd argue the biggest and most consistent contributor to these bruiser or tank off builds at their cores has been giving sheen CDR

Ever since Sheen got CDR I've been buying it after completing a Runic on Eve. The power spike for 1050 is MASSIVE. Agree 100% here. Sheen and bami cinder are both item pieces that dramatically effected the meta this season simply because of how strong these items are as a rush purchase for about 1k gold.

I'd rather see it lose the CDR because the AP wasn't that bad on champs like Jax and Irelia

what about nerfing the cost? before 4000 gold used to be a lot, but now with everything it gives i think it would be fair.

Would increasing it's cost increase stop champions from Ekko or any champion in line to abuse fervor + trinity with a bruiser build. I highly doubt it. It's largely an on-hit item/AA oriented item, it shouldn't be giving 20% CDR, hell I'd argue it shouldn't even give 10% CDR,

Votable Jester12 votes

I'd say it's less of an on-hit item than an on-spellcast item. The parts of it that suggest on-hit are the attack speed, ad, and rage passive. The cdr, mana, and sheen effects suggest weaving spells and auto attacks together. HP and movement speed are neutral.

2:) Increasing price makes it purchased later

3:) Trinity falls off faster

wtf?

trinity doesnt fall of late game,it just gives you a slight disadvantage when you have a trinity and boots and the enemy with a slight lead has 2 completed items.trinity is the best choice a champion can have for a full build.

Bladerunner77772 votes

TF lets you deal a lot of damage when you get it

It's not that you're doing less damage lategame, the difference is that Tanks usually have good defenses at this point so you can't kill them and ADCs are dealing WAAAAAY more damage than you lategame so you can't really compete with that.

Because of this, fighters will usualy go Triforce > Tank (Hecarim, Skarner) or Triforce > Bruiser (Irelia, Vi). Triforce is usually all the damage these champs need to kill squishies which is why they need the durability to not blow up in one hit.

TL;DR Fighters that build TF > Tank/Bruiser fall off lategame because they do less damage to tanks and don't have enough damage to compete with real carries

NOTE: I didn't include Yasuo, Jax, Xin Zhao, etc. Those champions generally build multiple damage items after TF so they don't fall off

Yasuo building TF is kinda aids though, I think he is way more balanced when his optimal build is full crit + squishy. This warrants a Yasuo nerf and not a TF nerf.

Same with Ekko, he should be nerfed before TF gets nerfed. He's like a traditional Triforce champion except way more slippery and he has no drawbacks which is stupid.

don't be absurd, that's such a hilariously stupid statistic and doesn't at all represent who the most powerful champions in the game are right now

Watch out for that Aurelion Sol jungle and his 0.4% pick rate

ProfDrDeath4 votes

Finally someone says it.

These low pick rate champions are prone to having increased winrates, by virtue of their players knowing what they are doing, the people they are playing against not being familiar with the champion and the champions in question being strong against the popular picks.

Why you don't return the 20 critical chance back? O.o it would be better change just get Zeal back, make it cost more with Zeal because it did cost more when Zeal was back there.

Rintam3 votes

They changed the price for aesthetic reasons, not balance reasons. Trinity force costs 3733 all together, it used to cost 3800. It is only 67 gold less. Stinger is 1100, Sheen 1050 and Phage 1250. Together, this adds up to 3,400. This makes the cost of trinity force itself 333.
