why is it that mages get a free engage when before u needed to flash to win teamfights. What is the point in having all the other hextech items when you can just go in easily with one item.

Probably the worst change out of all the 6.9 stuff.

i hate this item. not necessarily because its op, but because they were just bullheaded and made annie an item that makes her better at dumping a flash + tibbers.

that champion needed changes for years, and they just refuse to give that chain some counterplay. a mage rework would have been the ideal opportunity.

youre in annies threat range? well, fuck you then. instant point and click stun. why should you be allowed to outplay her?

if they were concerned about less champions who counter mobility, then they could have given the item an active that applies a grounded debuff around the wearer for a short duration or to an area.

the problem with champions like annie and ryze is, that theyre countering low mobility champs harder than mobile champions anyways. they have it easier to get in range of them and nuke them. and theyre safer against these low mobility champions themselves.

That would have made for an interesting item
