Sterak's Gage and Titanic Hydra

Oh boy Rito, do you ever know how to ballance a game!

I know you made these items to be built on champs like Garen and Darius who have no escape or strong initiation, but did you consider for a moment what happens when they get built on someone like Jarvan?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! You mean I can go mid Jarvan, build ENTIRELY HEALTH STACKING ITEMS and still do more damage than my ADC by a country mile and NOT get blown up in team fights?! It's a festivus miracle!

Sadly, once anyone else realizes this, it's going to be back to j4 perma bans and another pummeling with the comically over sized nerf bludgeon, but it's been long enough since you've made anything that I like truely over powered that I'm just gonna ride this wave for all the elo I can muster.

TLDR Fuckin Titanic Hydra. Good item. Super balanced.

TL;DR Captain NeckBeards hand is sore from fapping to MF so he's going to post a hugely negative post bit%%%%% with no suggestions on better balance. GG OP.

Backhanded as it may have been, I was applauding Riot for finally giving Jarvan a chance to carry the odd game again. It has been too long.

While I do think the particular combo is Op on Jarvan, I don't think it applies to anyone else because Jarvan has a particular combination of decent AD stacking,natural tankiness AND extremely powerful initiation tools which other champs who would use these items simply do not have, Hence why I am concerned about potential incoming nerfs to my main man.

I promise you if you build just health stacking AD items you will get blown the fuck up in team fights

Totally un-related to the Hydra, I was forced to play adc into a dive comp just now. Was having a bad game myself (I suck at adc) but my team was carrying pretty well, so I thought, you know what? Lets do this shit.

Built a gage.

On caitlin.

Now instead of trying to dodge skill shots and dives, I just let them hit me cause HOLY SHIT THE DAMAGE WHEN IT PROCS! Combo that with Janna shields and zekes and I was just loling all over the rift. Not a solitary fuck to give. Admittedly, probably wouldn't have worked if we weren't already winning hard, but it was funny.
