Does anyone Build Guisoo's ?

Step 1, remove its stupid passive. Step 2, give it between 25 and 30% hybrid penetration that shares a named passive with Whisper and Void to prevent them from stacking.

There you go.

Now it's useful.

'But hybrid damage is hard to itemize against!'

Would it make some champions that deal hybrid damage a bit over the top?

Yeah, probably. But better to open up itemization options and bop outliers than to just leave niches unfilled.

believe it or not, i like buying this item on jax.

I sometimes do it on Jax with trinity force and gunblade.Needless to say it means i have 2 tanks on my team and i'm not too focused or the most obvious reason:I'm fed. become such a stupid champ with it and trinity+gunblade(+CD reduc runes,randuin and spirit visage).But honestly ..in any serious game with decent level,the item is not worth it at all.

it's a sustain item that offers none unless it's active is working, and the passive doesn't last long enough between hits to even walk between jungle camps. if it had 2 or 3% life leech from damage OR 6 seconds between actions before the passive deactivates it wouldn't feel like such a horrible item to buy.

i think a low version of the bonuses should be always present, and then incremented when you fall in low health. also the path should be improved:

something like +

30 attack damage 40 ability power +5% movement speed. +5% spellvamp +5% lifesteal +5% attack speed UNIQUE Passive: Falling below 50% health grants you extra 10 attack damage, 20 ability power, 10% Attack Speed, 5% Life Steal and 5% Spell Vamp until you exit combat (30 second cooldown)

Alternatively, the gold cost could be changed and :

35 attack damage 50 ability power +5% movement speed +5% spellvamp +5% lifesteal +5% attack speed UNIQUE Passive: Falling below 50% health grants you extra 15% cooldown reduction, 10% Attack Speed, 5% Life Steal and 5% Spell Vamp until you exit combat (30 second cooldown)

hybrid penetration could be added

Couple of problems I noticed.

a) in general. Hybrid builds are just bad. one stat affects one area of damage, and the other affects another. But that doesn't really combined well. except on an AP/AS fighter, but even that's a stretch.

b) Even for a hybrid item. It's build path is horrible. nothing feels good about having a blasting wand and a pick ax in your inventory. Two items that don't really help each other.

c) It's low cost make it rather slot inefficient. Gun blade has superior stats that won't make feel like a waist of an item slot. And since it's useless as a support item, you really can't justify it being slot inefficient.

Personally, I would like to see it more tailored to the AP/AS fighters. But most of them already have nashor's tooth.

I build it on Jax and Akali for the lulz sometimes

Like other people said I build it occasionally on Jax or Kayle. Also, building it on Tryndamere is funny for split pushing. You get the passive up fast attacking minions or towers, and bonus AP to heal with your Q. If the enemy comes to stop you, gaining that extra bonus along with your ult pretty much guarantees you kill whatever it is you were after and can probably still make it out alive

i feel the item could get some hybrid penetration as well, the problem is stacking penetration with existing items, but i guess you are not going to be building a lot of specific (armor/magic) penetration on your hybrids anyways
