Any Plans for Essence Reaver?

The Yetii Rider··2 votes·418 views

Essence Reaver's CDR passive was originally designed to be a power spike with Trinity Force to help out Corki and Ezreal.

Now Trinity Force doesn't give crit but ER is still probably correct on Corki and Ezreal over IE.

Any game designer want to pop in and let us know if ER has changes to function with the new Trinity Force? I guess you could reverse it, say give 20% extra crit for 20% CDR. At least then the two items spike better together.

I only really see ER on Ashe and Sivir right now because it gives Ashe lots of ults and gives Sivir infinite mana to spam her W. I've seen some Jhin players using it becase CDR is good on him but I don't think it will become mainstream until the armor pen changes in S7.

I don't know if I've ever seen it on Ezreal. He doesn't usually build crit and Manamune gives him all the mana he needs.

Twitch also likes it, and Draven can make great use of it.

I really wouldn't recommend it on either of those champions. Draven doesn't really need crit in the first place, and Twitch is better off trying to get the classic IE PD/Hurricane or his Ghostblade Assassin build. If I wanted 40% CDR on Twitch I'd get Ghostblade + BC + Ionian's.

Meh. It's actually pretty good on the two of them, just outclassed because of how strong AD+armor pen is early game.

No, it was designed as a tool for ability focused marksman to get access to CdR and mana regeneration that fit with their main intended builds (Crit Chance).

Rather it's change from the marksmen preseason patch be reverted; so it can be used on any physical champion who needs mana.
