does anyone else think this is an OP item

Zz'Rot Portal

You can now build Portals which spawn little Voidspawns who explode on enemy structures.

“Think of this new item as a follow-up to our original preseason promise of adding more strategic diversity to League of Legends. Specifically, the Zz'Rot Portal is designed to provide tanky dudes with a new way to opt into pushing strategies while also having enough utility to be used in other creative ways.”

RECIPE : Raptor Cloak + Negatron Cloak + 950 gold

TOTAL COST : 2800 gold

ARMOR : +50

MAGIC RESISTANCE : +50

BASE HEALTH REGENERATION : +100%

UNIQUE PASSIVE : Point Runner: Builds up to 30% Movement Speed over 2 seconds while near turrets or Void Gates.

COOLDOWN : 150 seconds

UNIQUE ACTIVE : Spawns a Void Gate at target location for 150 seconds. Every 4 seconds the gate makes a Voidspawn that travels down the nearest lane. Voidspawn explode when attacking structures. Voidspawn ignore champions and void targets (150 second cooldown.) After the third Voidspawn made by Void Gate, additional Voidspawn gain 50% of your Armor and Magic Resistance as damage

This is a new item riot introduced in patch 5.1. and frankly I don't like what it adds to the game. minions constantly barraging your towers for 150 seconds. im not sure correct me if im wrong but I think it creates a wall that you and your teammates can pass through but the enemy cant!?! come on rito doesn't that seam a little OP?

It does not create a team exclusive pathing wall. I believe you mixed that up with a different thing that released with 5.1.

The void gate can be destroyed. Voidspawn will only barrage your turrets for 150 seconds if you can't kill that. The voidspawn also lose health over time. If they manage to take a tower, usually they won't be able to take another tower. Very risky positioning of the void gate does allow it to take multiple towers but it's very easy for the enemy to access in those cases (like placing it between two enemy towers).

With the ZZ Rot portal having a name close to mine I've had people ask if it was named after me I always say yes because why not

It's exactly like GA, except it has Point Runner and HP regen (woohoo) and spawns a portal instead of reviving you. It might be OP on Heimer (drop portal, surround with turrets, massive pressure), but it seems alright generally.

I actually think that the smaller minions need to be a bit stronger, the smaller minions don't really do much in the way of wave clear, or tower pushing... On that note, if the smaller ones were brought up in power, the larger ones could have a decrease in power to compensate...

I really enjoyed using the original zz'rot portal. I don't ever really purchase the new zz'rot portal...

Heres why ZZrot isnt OP -costs a ton of gold for non offensive stats -the vodilings focus minions (not just turrets) -the portal can be destroyed -The voidlings start to die after a short time meaning you cant just place it in your base and your set to go -it scales off your mr/armor meaning its useless if you arent a tank -it actually really gives tankier supports a good item to help push with their team -its not OP if anything it might need a small buff -the buff should be the the voidlings cant be targeted by enemy champions if they voidlings wont target enemy champions

After a lot of Leona games where I've gotten this game, I can list a few things about it from practice:

  • Zz'Rot Portal can be very difficult to deal with if your team is ahead, but cannot be used effectively if you are behind.
  • Zz'Rot Portal takes a long time to get to, as rushing it as a first item tends to be suicide in any build. It's almost always a 3rd or further major item.
  • Zz'Rot Portal relies on your team protecting it, otherwise it won't accomplish much.
  • Zz'Rot Portal Voidspawns are no match for Super Minions.

In essence, the item only works when your team is ahead, not when behind.

I think that it could use a small anti-minion buff, actually. Maybe when they are killed, they explode and deal damage to nearby enemy minions (does not damage Champions).

It's like a slightly stronger minion wave, but only to a very limited extent.
