Giving GA more of an identity and use

Jefftiffy··3 votes·428 views

The current passive is now 3.5s long but you are a ghost during this duration that can only walk. You cannot cast and are unable to AA. This makes it so that you have the potential to live after popping out of the GA instead of being instant killed if someone times a skill shot before you can react.

And why is your team letting them sit on your dead body without doing anything? Current GA works perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught out by yourself. It's incredibly strong in teamfights.

You act like your team can just be there to body block a skill shot that is going to kill you when you get back up. There are some champs that are very long range that can sit in the back and snipe you the second you pop out.

the other guy is right, u dont use the ga for 1v1s, and if u did u should win, anyway, since u get full health back. how exactly are u losing?

Wrong so much wrong. You get 30% hp and mana. That is nothing to survive most mages who do that amount of damage in a single spell.

The point is people take Banshee's over GA because its so much better. GA needs a niche. Banshee's gives you a bigger effective hp pool against everyone (hello spell shield able to block so much damage and being a passive that recharges faster). Minimal armor and MR doesn't go anything against people who generally have armor/magic pen by the time it is built.

ga, gives u a second wind, its better than spellshield cuz it not only optimizes your fighting time, but it also makes u aless of a target since, they enemy knows your death will cost them cooldowns but wont actually kill u. if used in the same situations, i think ga would be more effective. of course u would have to know how to use the item to get anything out of it.

also it sounds like your relying on 1 defensive item? u should get at least 3 if your not adc or mid. Boots, A core item, A situational offense item, and then 3 situaion defense items. unless your super mobile thats the standard. randuins, spirit visage, and ga is 9 times out of ten great, for most any team comp.

The thing is. GA i meant to be used on carries. And who doesn't build it normally. Carries. I see more melee carries build it than anybody else and even then I see people opt for Banshee's over it quite frequently. And 4s doesn't cost most people CDs. The only thing it does is scare away people from nuking you like Veigar which Banshee's can prevent completely. And even then he can blow you up and kill you the second you get up while at Banshee's lets you back out or choose what damage he hits you with.

I honestly prefer frozen mallet, Banshee's, or Randuin's over a GA as they do a lot more for keeping you alive than GA in most scenarios and don't have such damn long CDs and you get more slot efficiency.
