@Meddler: Removal of MR Aura on Locket
In regards to your recent post about the state of Magic Resist and magic damage champions:
Figuring out whether we need to make followup changes to compensate for Aegis' removal's something we'll be working, most likely for 6.24. Options there include things like:
Nothing - if there's not actually a problem. Increasing base stats - if magic damage is too high across the board maybe all champs should get some MR/level Nerfing magic damage dealers who are now excessively strong - if more magic damage dealers are in a good place than out of line maybe we should just nerf the outliers Making other MR itemization more powerful - if the issue is lack of itemization responses to magic damage, rather than an issue that should be solved outside of the item system like the above two
I feel that it could be interesting to pursue a few things:
- Magic Resist per level on all champions increased by + ~10MR at level 18
- A new mage assassin item with +15 Magic Penetration
- A new health + MR item for tanks who dont want Banshee's Veil (shellshield doesn't feel impactful) or Spirit Visage (overtuned IMO + no innate healing)
- Addition of a consistent-poke oriented MR shred item with CDR for the likes of Ziggs/Xerath type champions
- Retuning of Liandry's and Rylais (I think they need to be redefined to have a clearer purpose/niche)
- Retuning / Redesigning of Banner VS Zz'rot. Would like to see Talisman of Ascension have the Banner ability perhaps
I'm not saying any of this NEEDS to change, but it would be interesting to hear your initial impression of such ideas.
