It should be an adaptive AP/ad item since it is a diver item. Basically it should be a Trinity force for diversl (so giving a bunch of different stats + the active)

I'd personally love an excuse to build this item, but I think making it anywhere near a good choice would be met with serious backlash. Towers are already a punch line of the community, and most teams have no trouble diving them, so making the specifically anti-tower item a realistic build choice would exacerbate that issue.

There used to be a summoner spell to reinforce towers and riot has shown with nexus siege they still "have the technology" to do so.

Reverse the effect and make it buff turrets then. It would be a great fit for mages with good waveclear.

They could make it do both depending on what turret it is activated on.

Promote: If activated on an allied turret. Wrecker: Disables enemy turret for X seconds.

This item would at least excuse unpunished dives. If you're built to specifically be anti-turret and you do that, there's a reason for it.

Ohmwrecker was initially released as an AP item in the first place, and, unsurprisingly, was never built.

They tried. It was still bad.

The problem with Ohmwrecker is that the active isn't strong enough to matter, so either the item has inflated stats and gets bought in every situation for just the stats, or the stats are balanced, and it's never bought because the active is useless.

Wow you're right. I checked the Wiki and the build was item 3067 + item 1026

I get the feeling that there were other HP + AP items ( item 3151 item 3116 item 3027 ) that were more useful than Ohmwrecker.

As much as I would like an AP/ARMOR item for mages. I rather NOT give these Rumble Ekko Chogath Gragas TahmKench jack offs more ways to be oppressive or annoying.

Okay, these champions are annoying. That said, if any of them can buy an item like this, then they could probably have bought more annoying items with the same gold: item 3116 item 3027 item 3157 item 3100 item 3151

Yah but you see the thing is. Most can deal with HP stacking. item 3151 item 3153 can deal with that. How ever if those guys stack armor, then marksmen become the only ones able to deal with them because they will become pseudo AP tanks. The only reason they aren't that bad (Kench is toeing that line really damn hard) is because they cant build armor and have damage too. They have to pick.

I mean like i said, i would love another AP/armor item for Ahri so I can try to actually hit the back line and not get exploded when I get right clicked by a marksmen.

I've said this before here on the boards, and I'll say it again. I really wish Ohmwrecker was able to interact with more than just enemy turrets. Maybe you could put a buff of some kind on your own turret with it, or even use it to close enemy base gates temporarily so they can't walk through them. Its niche as a diving item is totally wasted because diving is so easy nowadays for almost everyone, so why not widen the niche and make it the Structure-Interaction item?
