What if Ohmwrecker could disable base gates?

Most ideas that I come across on boards are just broken and people should feel bad for just for think of them.

This idea however, seems good. +1 OP

I love the idea. I've never bought ohmwrecker because there are, put simply, much better items for the money/stats. This would allow for surprise backdoor wins which is totally my style.

I actually think this is a very good idea, adding a small buff to an uncommon item cant hurt.

I would actually consider buying it as a last item on some melees then considering how often I get screwed because someone walks through their base gate and I don't have a gap closer

if it does disable base gates it should only disable the gate that was within range of the use of the active and only for the period of time that the active disables turrets. now it's debatable as to whether it should be allowed to only allow the ohmwrecker user to pass or the entire team as long as they pass within the 2.5? second window.

either way. its a good idea i think.

And block it for the enemy team, please.

I still wouldn't buy it. The actives and stats need to be improved to compete.

I agree. This is a fantastic idea that makes it a much more favorable item.

I think it will need more than that. The active just isn't powerfull enouge. Why not just reset the Warming Up or Heated Up passive from the turrets?

Awesome AWESOME idea

Take all my upvotes i hope this get implemented

Fantastic idea for a much under-used tool basing off my opinion though. No one uses it in low-elos xD

Very interesting. Ohm is a siege tool already, but the gates are new mechanic that could do with some interactions.

You got my vote.

I like the idea. Thematically it makes sense with the item.

Would make it a bit more useful.

Would make the activatable ability useful even after all the turrets are gone. I like it.

I love but I have always hated that after most of the turrets where gone, it just about becomes worthless, this would give it some much needed versatility for backdoors and continuing chases when an enemy runs for cover through the gate.

Oh hell yeah, definitely a good change for that. Or have some other siege related item do this.

Would be awesome.

How about if all enemy turrets are taken down, including nexus ones then it gains that ability? Maybe even let it buff your own turret to protect them once you mess up the nexus rush through base gates?

Pretty cool idea, i like it!

I dunooooo

I really like this idea for Ohmwrecker, but I'm not sure if it will help enough to really make it an impact enough to make it usable.

The main problems with Ohmwrecker are that it's bad if you fall behind and you don't need it if you are ahead. If you are behind, you cannot afford to use the item because you cannot afford to try and either siege or dive turrets, as you have to defend turrets. If you are ahead, chances are you are tanky enough to actually tank the turret while turret diving, and if you are sieging you can zone the enemy team off of their turrets just by threatening an engage.

This change only affects the latter problem. Disabling base gates is really cool because any kind of comp that would want a tank to get this item can really take advantage of it. Dive-oriented comps can use this item to get into other positions to dive the inhibitor turrets or use it to escape after diving the inhibitor turrets, while siege-oriented comps can use it to poke the enemy team at different angles that they wouldn't normally be prepared to deal with.

However, this still doesn't help if your team falls behind. If your team falls behind, your team needs to try and defend your turrets until your team can stabilize and pull back into the game, and this item doesn't help you do that, and this change doesn't address that.

That's actually a pretty cool idea and incentivizes a later use/purchase of Ohm. Right now I tend to feel conflicted; on the roles I would build it, its not enough to be a First Buy, but I want to get it early enough that its useful - each tower that goes down before I buy it, makes me feel like I'm not getting enough use out of it. But this would let it be useful throughout. Cool idea.

What if ohmwrecker was actually slot efficient without its active?

There is a frozen joke about opening the gates to be made here... but I got nothing :/

I love Ohmwrecker on my Mordekaiser. It is always the 2nd or 3rd item I buy and it works wonders.

Only fabbyy can open the gates.

Let ohmwrecker create towers like Azir. :^)

I think it's rather situational, and that's the only reason people don't actually buy Ohmwrecker a lot. I mean, think about it, if you knew you were going to get stuck behind something that will potentially screw you over, wouldn't you just try to not get in that situation in the first place?

Then again, I like Ohmwrecker, so +1 :D

+1 Riot please :D

This won't get Ohmwrecker popular as a support item.

It's just another super Niche effect. Powerful, but not enough to warrant picking it up unless you are specifically countering/enabling a strategy. Sort of like how thornmail only get's picked up to counter fed ADCs or Righteous Glory to counter disengage comps.

What would happen if you're inside the gate when it closes?

Would be cool -- might be difficult for Riot technically considering how long it took them just to get a champion to be able to walk through them normally.

But really, it's not any different than throwing an Anivia wall across the gate... so maybe I'm over thinking it.

To the post above me, if you use the Anivia wall analogy you simply get pushed out of that area depending on your current location.

And because they are base gates,they should make it only put Ohmwrecker on half CD
