Bring Zephyr back

madeira 4·11/29/2018, 11:28:18 AM·22 votes·10,715 views

Zephyr +50 attack damage +40% attack speed +10% movement speed

UNIQUE Passive - Tenacity: Reduces the duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fearsm silences, blinds, polymorphs, and immobilizes by 35%

Many ADC's (mainly hypercarrys) today are useless in soloqueue. Weak offense items, weak defense items, many assassins and a LOT OF CC. Even full build ADC (I'm not talking about Lucian and Ez), are WAY EASY DELETED by almost anything in the game.

Lissandra R? Dead. Elise E? Dead. Rammus E? Dead. Veigar E? Dead. Ahri E? Dead. Zyra or Leona ANY skill? Dead. Zilean double bomb?** Dead.** Phanteon W? Dead. Bardo Q? Dead.

Annie, Ammumu, Aurelion, Cho'Gath, Ekko, Fiddlesticks, Malzahar, Evelyn, Warwick, Le Blanc, Gragas, Garen, Irelia, Kayn, Kennen, Karma, Skarner, Malphite, Maokai, Nami, Nautilus, Ornn, Nocturne, Rakan, Pyke, Rek'Sai, Renekton, Ryze, Riven, Sona, Soraka, Tahm Kench, Taliyah, Taric, Teemo, Udyr, Twisted Fate, Vel'Koz, Vi, Zoe, Zac..

I think you got it. Will it be an item to do only when you sell boots? Maybe disagree. (Maybe make the passive different from the one in ) And if that'so, what's the problem? To have a better item to use your extra gold when the game is way long.

Dont be such a Riot, make bot lane great again

Bring item 3172 as the AD item and item 3170 as the AP item.

all of the champions you listed are supposed to be able to delete adc.

theyre all either bursty mages, assassins or melee bruisers. except for rammus who is literally one of the two anti adc tanks in this game.

also, how the fuck is zephyr even supposed to stop an adc from killing himself on rammus thornmail? stacking attack speed is exactly the opposite of what you want.

Tenacity isn't going to help vs. those picks. Especially considering ADCs (at any time in League's history) were usually dead within the span of one of those CC rotations. You're better off getting a QSS.

And...

Annie, Ammumu, Aurelion, Cho'Gath, Ekko, Fiddlesticks, Malzahar, Evelyn, Warwick, Le Blanc, Gragas, Garen, Irelia, Kayn, Kennen, Karma, Skarner, Malphite, Maokai, Nami, Nautilus, Ornn, Nocturne, Rakan, Pyke, Rek'Sai, Renekton, Ryze, Riven, Sona, Soraka, Tahm Kench, Taliyah, Taric, Teemo, Udyr, Twisted Fate, Vel'Koz, Vi, Zoe, Zac..

A massive chunk of characters on this list have displacements, suppression or non-reducible CC forms which leads to tenacity being useless.

Zephyr was literally build when you already were full build and wanted to get just a little bit more power out of your build by replacing your boots with it. So it was nothing more than an extremely late game item that won't even help against any of the champions you mentioned

What do you mean? https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/7a/Star_Guardian_Promo_Zephyr.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171106192014 He comes back shortly after the W. They took celerity away, but zephyr is still the mvp...

Ohhh my god.I loved this godlike item so much.Is it only me that got moved from this Topic?

item 3139 is meant to be an ADC or AD assassins counterplay to CC. If you get caught by CC, especially past 20 minutes, then the reduction in CC time won't mean that you live, as you still have no health or resists. Tenacity works on tanks/bruisers because that 0.3 or so reduction in CC time might mean that they live, if they are even in gold. For damage focused champs, their safety comes from positioning, peeling from teammates and defensive CDs, not tenacity.

item 3222 item 3231

part of playing an adc is dodging things. You should be able to dodge a lot of cc as long as you have vision. If you're bush checking as an adc, that's a risk you deserve to be punished for if you get punished. I've never needed to cleanse twice during a teamfight, and most of the time unless they have a point and click, I don't have to. We already have a cleanse that's good enough.

As much as I would love to have our precious little wind sword back in the game, it probably won't happen and even if it did it would be in the same situation as before, serving as a boots replacement. This item would be a valid 1st,2nd,3rd, etc item choice if it had a new passive or active added to it instead of it just giving 4 stats. Maybe a kiting active, or attack enhancer, or aoe damage or on-hit damage. SOMETHING that would give this item a combat niche so its not just a boots replacement.

As for making the item more interesting... how about the attack damage is lowered to 25, and it gets Hail of Blades as a passive while the actual HoB is removed? The passive could even have a bit of a physical on-hit effect added to have great Cleaver synergy.
