Strength of the Ages- Changing It to a More Pure Tank Keystone

Meep Man··2 votes·615 views

Strength of the Ages

  • Health gained changed from +20 Health from Siege Minions and +10 Health from Large Monsters, up to 300 bonus health, to +1% Bonus Max Health from Siege Minions and +0.5% Bonus Max Health from Large Monsters, up to 15% Bonus Max Health

Right now, Strength of the Ages has a bit of a weak identity in my eyes for working towards a specific champion type. Right now, it's just kind of picked up by every single champion that goes Resolve that isn't a Support or uses basic attacks. Every single champion that doesn't make use of another Keystone just goes Strength of the Ages basically. However, I want to change it to where now Strength of the Ages is more focused on Pure Tanks by giving them % increased max health instead of flat. Now, the keystone has an identity of the Pure Tank keystone, which wasn't actually a type of keystone before. Not saying Strength is WEAK at the moment, it just isn't like the other Keystones where it's an exciting pick up for any champion that uses it.

300 hp isnt weak, its pretty big considering you use it on champs that stack HP any ways and its stupid strong for cinderhulk jungles cuz the 300 hp you get from it is increased by the passive of cinderhulk which is +15% bonus hp so for that 300 hp you get from strength of ages add in the 15% passive from cinder hulk its an extra 45 hp... and then if you build items like item 3748 it gives you more hp to increase the damage of the item cuz it gives you damage based off maximum hp

Ah, you misunderstood me. I don't think Strength is weak, but just that it doesn't have a strong push in any direction. Like, Thunderlord's is the Burst Champion keystone, Fervor is the AA Champion keystone, Windspeaker's is the Healing/Shield CHampion keystone, etc. Strenght is just, "I want to be a little tankier no matter what I am" keystone. With % health, it favors Tanks more than anyone.

that entire tree favors tanks...

it is your defensive tree...

and given % hp over flat means that tanks will be getting too much free hp cuz if it gives a % hp based off champs maximum hp would seriously be unbalanced and over powered.

that is why they made the changes to veterans scar it use to give % bonus hp and it was abused by tanks so they made it give a flat bonus to make it more balanced

I'd rather not give Volibear an extra 500+ health tbh.

And I play him.

Swap Voli for Mundo or Shyvana. Same thing.
