If Blink Dagger was in LoL

blueberrypancake··3 votes·1,902 views

I've played very little DotA however there is a item that gives you a flash-like active

My idea is to have a Blink Dagger (similar item, maybe with stats however inefficient) in LoL but like Tiamat and Hydra it is Melee only, and to have an active similar to this.

Unique Active: Blink to target location 400 units away. If Champion is using the Flash summoner spell then when it is off cooldown then it is increased by 75 units (The Dagger). If Champion is using the Ghost summoner spell then when it is off cooldown then after blinking your champion's movespeed is increased by 27% for 2 seconds. If Champion is using the Teleport summoner spell then when it is off cooldown then you're blink can be used to target to units and towers. If this occurs then Blink Dagger's cooldown is decreased to 240 seconds from 300, (These numbers are based off Ezreal's E blink and Ghost)

I know what you are thinking. OMG fucking Zed will wreck my face even harder, but then I ask you, who needs this mobility the most. Low mobility champions of course, Most likely those who'd run possibly Flash and teleport (most bruisers/top laners) or Flash and ghost, and finally Ghost and Teleport (Nasus and Olaf).

Pros

  • Gives Melee champs ways to engage with out committing they're ability to escape (diversity)

  • Benefits Top laners in general with additional benefits (mainly tanks with a lack of mobility)

Cons

  • Most likely to be very inefficient stat wise or have no stats for very costly price

  • Most useful in mid game, somewhat useless late game. The raw stats would most likely be better

  • If it is viable on Zed everyone will unistall LoL or everyone will main Zed (diversity, sarcasm)

I recognize my idea is not perfect, but if you got a better idea for a blink dagger like item in LoL then please post in comment below.

Because Kog'maw or Varus love now fighting when literally everyone has a gapcloser except them.

yeah but first off kog'maw shouldnt even be close enough for anyone to touch him and if you take a look at say olaf he must love fighting a lot more now because he acyually has to try and get near someone without a gapcloser. and varus is one of the only adc's who has hard cc and also he doesnt seem to be in the best spot atm so he could be looked at to try and make him a little more viable

"shouldnt even be close enough for anyone to touch him"

"lets add an item that gives all melees a blink"

Yeah, suddenly PEOPLE HAVE WAYS TO GET TO HIM. Almost like the item OP is talking about GIVES SOME FORM OF INSTANT DASH SUCH AS A BLINK. Sorry about the sarcasm, but if you go into a thread about adding a melee item that gives a blink then go "but immobile adcs shouldn't BE in range so its k" and ignore the item...

Otherwise, Olaf is kind of in a bad spot to most people due to requiring perfect E lands and maybe his ult to do anything. Suddenly giving him a blink does put him in a better spot, but it also puts anyone who could previously try and kite/run from him no chance. For Varus, he's one of the few adcs with AoE hard CC; he has a teamfighting ult. Giving everyone a blink makes him almost useless due to his only form of escape being his ultimate, flash, or outdueling someone.

While yes, most immobile melees will love this, most other people won't (Zed either keeps having lots of dashes or has lots of dashes + 1; Darius gets 1 dash and hopes nobody else can escape).

Perhaps I'm just tired, but I am unable to understand your wording. I can't interpret your phrases in an intelligible way at all.

Idea is that you get an item that gives you another Flash. If you have Flash, Ghost, and/or Teleport you gain a bonus.

  • Flash increased range on blink

  • Ghost movespeed after blinking

  • Teleport decreased cooldown

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Fine but then give shadow blade to ranged xD

I haven't played that much DotA so I don't know what that item is unless you are refering to something else

Shadow Blade aka Lothar's Edge. On activation and a very short fade time the user turns invisible. Upon attacking and breaking the invis the user's attack gets a 175 damage bonus. The bonus is lost if the invis expires from time limit and not attacking. With enough attack speed the user can attack once while fading, keeping the damage and going invisible effectively giving 2 invis bonus attacks (the 175 damage) EDIT: Almost forgot, the damage is considered a seperate

It basically gives you Twitch's Q.

Oh joy, another gap closer for those junlgers that already gank so well. Please no.

So delay the builds of immobile champs for this item just to live up to what they already have?

Miku Lv991 votes

It would be horrible. Imagine that someone like Kat, Amumu, or Wukong just uses this and then ults your whole team. Their entire weakness of having to actually work their way in to the winning position would be removed so they'd just be way too strong.
