Can we add magic resist item, with no cdr, but more resists?

Sujiren··97 votes·3,098 views

I really miss old banshees, not because of spellshield, even though it was nice, but because it had 70 mr and 300 hp in a single item, which made me feel good about buying it as my only magic resist item.

Current line of magic resist items are all overloaded with cdr, which is nice, but not always needed. Can we get atleast 1 mr item that has slightly more magic resist than others, but no cdr?

Maybe when AP itemization isnt worse than AD and tank/support itemization anymore hehe

AP itemization lacks options, but I think the overall power level is pretty good.

LordGeovanni7 votes

AP itemization has lots of options just that nobody wants to trade out max damage build for more utility or more dps. because one time bursting an enemy for most of their health if not their whole health bar then running around for 3 seconds until their combo starts again is much easier and more safe than bursting once doing damage through auto attack until the combo comes back up or spacing out your spells to make use of Lichbane because cooldowns are so low you lower your damage out put by trying to get more than one lichbane proc off.

I dunno, theres no mention of Fizz in that post... I'd say its only like 70% the real Penns

Still way less options and often weaker options tho

For example item 3156 item 3139 item 3091 vs just item 3157 , which is garbage in 1v1s tbh but can be better in teamfights.

Or item 3147 item 3814 item 3142 item 3035 item 3036 item 3033 item 3071 vs item 3151 item 3020 item 3135

(item 3035 because you dont have to get the full item for pen)

whats wrong with wits end on tf, back in the day of smite buffs, i went tf jungle with devourer, lich bane, guinsoos, wits and bes greaves, whats wrong with wits end on tf?

DarkSunSovereign1 votes

You usually want to burst people harder with TF, not DPS them down. It's fine if you want to I guess, but most people are talking about AP tf, not onhit.

reasonable

Theyre still all options and all strong items on at least some champs like Kog and Varus for Wits End.

Zhonyas is only good on champs like Fizz that use it for the passive at this point and there are no other options for when you just want some defense ( item 3155 ) because Seekers isnt nearly as good. Or options for when you just want some %pen (item 3035 ) or just some damage to high hp champs (item 3034) or just Grievous Wounds (item 3123 ) or maybe you want a GA or you want flat pen on a champ that doesnt want to use Liandrys or when... you know.

I thought you said maw of Malicious there, and then thought, that would still be a pretty good name

Raid Boss Morde4 votes

It's actually really good on Varus, as his auto attacks already deal magic damage damage on-hit, and he deals large chunks of % max HP as magic damage.

YumaS2Astral1 votes

My problem with Wit's End is that it falls off so hard late game. Why buy it when you can buy item 3153 which scales better?

Sewer Side1 votes

Mid-game and synergy.

Super cheap for what it is. It's like the Protobelt of On-Hit (without the utility)

They said they have the philosophy that they want CDR to be gained naturally as you itemize, thus throwing CDR on everything for every class.

So at this point Rioters probably ask "Why shouldn't there be CDR?" rather than "Should there be CDR?" when designing items.

item 3194 It should be this one. I have no idea why they randomly put CDR on it

but should that item even exist? isn't everyone saying sustained damage is the counter to tanks? so then why do they get a item that screw over sustained damage mages?

Because Riot can't make proper Anti MR items, and besides I'd rather have Spirit visage be split into a sustain item and a purely defensive MR item.

Pls no

Mages are already fucked in the meta as is

Just nerf physical damage so that tanks don't have to build 3-4 armor items+tabi to not be blown by adcs, which leaves room for only one MR item. Problem solved.

item 3190 highest **base **MR

Though it IS tied with Banshees for highest base. Banshees has power tied up in its passive though, which is IMO of limited value. Shield's too damn easy to pop before a fight.

Mcsquzzy1 votes

Infernal mask has a base MR of 95

That's not a normally available item, unless you're going to try to tell me with a straight face that I can reasonably expect there to always be an Ornn on my team.

Mcsquzzy1 votes

As you highlighted in. Highest base mr. So I gave the highest base mr. Can you look me in the face and say 95 is less that 60

Sp33d Zer02 votes

Infernal mask is Abyssal mask that is further boosted.

You're literally trying to argue that something that builds out of a fully completed item under specific circumstances should be considered a normal item

Mcsquzzy2 votes

The argument was highest base mr so is 95 the highest base mr on an item or not

Kaeblen2 votes

you're taking this "I'm not listening" thing a bit too far.

I am listening, no one is telling me how 60>95

Mcsquzzy1 votes

for 1000 gold you get 35 MR and 200 HP MR is weighed at 18 gold per mr based off of the value of null mantle and Hp is weighed at 2.667 gold per hp you get 35x18=630 value for mr and 200x2.667=533.4 value for hp 1163.4 gold value for 1000 gold spent upgrade

Also you have not explained how 60>95

edit: locket gold efficiency is 1680 to its 2200 cost while this is 3773.4 to 3900 making this item more efficient than locket

RocketRelm4 votes

I can 100% tell you that it is absolutely reasonable to expect there to always be an Ornn on your team.

You just need to become an Ornn one-trick.

Let's see. One requires not only 500 extra gold but to buy abyssal mask in the first place, as well as having an ornn on your team.

Another only gives 80 armor/mr with no health bonus, excluding the active,

And banshee's veil now gives AP, which for some tanks and bruisers, is a complete waste of gold, though most have a small AP scaling or two somewhere, and it also doesn't provide any hp either.

Oh, and wit's end after 5 autos. Not every champion can really benefit well from wit's end.

i wish theyd remove the catalyst from item 3001 and revert the recipe.

why did they have to put mana on it ...

Champion Skin3 votes

item 3001 item 3110 item 3025item 3800 are pretty much the only tank options that give mana and item 3001 is the only MR option that gives mana

So yeah I think it fine for tanks to at least have 1 mana + MR option

Raid Boss Morde1 votes

They took away a great AP + MR + magic resist shred item away from mages though (abyssal scepter). Now all we have is Banshee's, which doesn't help with taking down high magic resist enemies.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

item 3135 ????

Raid Boss Morde1 votes

Void Staff isn't very efficient on champions who need to build resists. You never see champions like Darius, Trundle, or even Camille build any Last Whisper items.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Exactly, it's the same for AD. So why do you feel that there has to be an item providing MR pen as well as resistances?

stone the blacks5 votes

item 3193 but situational 80 only

The Yetii Rider2 votes

There is never a situation where you only want to buy one MR item, unless you are playing a diver/juggernaut/support. And in that case you have item 3156 /item 3190 . Tanks should always be getting 2 armor and 2 MR items, they don't need anything but armor and MR and they need those to be as high as possible.
