The AP Changes and Karma
#A Brief Overview (Not Brief)
Athene's Unholy Grail
- Recipe Change: Chalice + Fiendish Codex + 300 Gold = 2100 Total Gold
- Total Cost: 2700 --> 2100
- Ability Power: 60 --> 40
- Mana Regeneration: 100% --> 75%
- Magic Resistance: 25 --> 25 (Unchanged)
- Cooldown Reduction: 20% --> 20% (Unchanged)
- Mana Passive: Mana Passives on Kill or Assist have been removed. *New Passive: Gain 15% of premitigation damage dealt to champions as Blood charges, up to 100 to 270 (based on level). Healing or shielding another ally consumes Blood Charges to heal that ally.
> Athene's Unholy Grail grants shield characters that can inflict damage the ability to heal their allies. Janna, Lulu, Orianna, Morgana, **Karma **and the like can now spec into an item that grants them additional permanent sustain that is supported by their offensive combat patterns.
Hextech Rocket Belt (Temporary Name)
- Recipe: Hextech Revolver + Kindlegem + 800 Gold = 2750 Total Gold
- Health: 300
- Ability Power: 80
- Cooldown Reduction: 10%
- Active - Fire Bolt: Dash 300 units in a direction (at 1200 speed) and then unleash a nova of fireballs that deal 100 - 250 (+25% of your Ability Power) magic damage to enemies hit. Enemies hit by more than one fireball take 15% damage from additional balls. (30 second cooldown, shared with other Hextech items).
- This Dash cannot go over walls.
One of the issues that we've struggled with in a lot of mid-range mages is that many of them essentially brute force their way to victory through raw numbers. They also don't have a ton of ways to opt into more flexible or flashy combat patterns with their core itemization.
Hextech Rocket Belt is an extremely dangerous effect that acts as either a range increased for their spells - a burst of initiation power - or simply a quick reposition tool so that these mages can fight in a more clever manner.
#How does this look for Karma?
I think that Riot's creative mind is gonna help mages big time. They're radical but in a sense, sensible (even if you don't want to admit it)...sometimes. Lets talk about it in the comments.
