I think WotA could healthily exist as in option in today's League.

item 1026 + item 1026 = WotA 100 ability power 20% spell vamp Cost: 2100 gold

DoT and AoE spells would get full benefits from healing. Doesn't stack with item 3146

You'd be trading magic pen, cdr, waveclear, damage, grievous wounds and mana for more sustain.

Still wouldn't compare to Riven Kayn Khazix LeeSin MonkeyKing Pantheon Zed Talon running around with item 3812 and Ravenous Hunter, but it'd stop certain AP champs from being completely bullied out of lane while AD champs heal off the minion wave.

Beyond the fact that the item is unreal cheap, vlad alone would be game breaking with its ap+20% healing.

item 3123 item 3165

WotA was always a cheap item because sustain was the only thing it offered. Used to be core on Swain Vladimir Morgana Mordekaiser but many champs could benefit from it now like Zoe Neeko Gragas Azir Malzahar Ziggs Veigar Cassiopeia as well being beneficial to AP bruisers/tanks.

A lot of them are bullied out of lane when AD champs build item 1059 . A perfect example of this is Talon vs Fizz where Fizz can when the first trades and force Talon out of lane until Talon finishes item 3074 then suddenly Fizz has to stay under turret.

It existed, was core, and was unhealthy as fuck so they removed it. Now you want to bring it back in an absurdly buffed form.

Also, spell vamp behaves very differently than lifesteal due to the burst nature of AP damage, and shouldn't be compared outside of mages like Cass and rumble.

Kayn item 3812 It's not life steal, its physical spell vamp.

Yep, and not only does it have an amazing buy rate of 1% on him, but since red is the only meta form, he spams q's, like Cass and rumble who I said were special cases. That item is also bought for the damage delay on bruises.

Lol this item is absurd. Already more than 100% gold efficient with just the AP. Lol dots and AoE get full benefit. This would actually be the most absurdly broken item in the game.

Also a Wukong main, I don't think it's fair for me to bully Rumble (a hard counter) out of lane just because I rushed item 3074 and item 3155 and can get back to 100% health again if I manage my mana.

If you're still laning 1.5 items in plus boots and he hasn't already abused his advantage then he doesn't deserve it.

Let me introduce you to item 3131

Not a single constructive argument made. It should be noted that I do not use AP champs at all, I play Wukong top/mid/jg/carry/support and I'm not a fan of stompfest just because i can out sustain my opponent with healing.

That is what you give up as an AP champion. AP champions are not supposed to be able to sustain as well as AD. Also if players are taking bad trades into you when you have sustain and they do not then they are misplaying. Certain classes and builds offer different advantages and disadvantages l. That is how a game like this works. What would be the point of having champions that all did the same stuff equally as well.

False, everyone was taking WoTa over GB on Morde. It would break him as it's spell vamp and not omnivamp. Vlad is already strong as well without Will of the ancient, they added healing on his ult because it was removed. If they add it again they need to nerf Morde and Vlad sustain or even remove their healing added.

Old GB didn't heal and old Morde didn't have AD ratios.

You are wrong and wrong again . V1.0.0.86 Added. Hextech Gunblade Recipe: Hextech Revolver item Hextech Revolver + Bilgewater Cutlass item Bilgewater Cutlass + Gold 600 = Gold 3625 +45 attack damage. +55 ability power. +15% life steal. +12% spell vamp. UNIQUE ACTIVE: Deals 300 magic damage and slows the target champion by 50% for 3 seconds (700 range). 60 second cooldown.

Mace of Spades RANGE: 200 / 600 COST: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 HEALTH COOLDOWN: 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 Mace of Spades old ACTIVE: Mordekaiser's next basic attack gains bonus range and is enhanced to deal magic damage (applies spell effects) and to either bounce to up to 3 additional enemies or dealing 65% increased damage if there are no other enemies nearby.

「 MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 40% AP) 」 Mace of Spades resets Mordekaiser's basic attack timer.

You need to know what you talk about before you come with answer.

Edit: Old gunblade was also stackable, you clearly never saw 4-5 gunblade Katarina and Akali , even Jax.

Vlad don't deserve anymore buff when he do way to much damage building bruiser AP.
