Am I the only one who finds Titanic Broken?

PhantomGG··2 votes·370 views

Not a salt post, just wondering.

reasons why I find it broken

1-The active burst is hella strong 2-Allows bruisers to build their favorite item while giving them the ability to front line with good health stats.

Examples Riven/Fiora/Lee sin

3-Allows AD champions to do the famous

Titanic+Cleaver+3 straight tank items, this allows them to be super tanky while doing tons of damage

Honestly I love playing bruisers and my first thought when I saw this item was "wait I can buy tiamat and upgrade it into a item that makes me useful for my team late game while still doing damage?!" and honestly the item became everything I expected it to be.

I barely even see people buy Hydra anymore for the item just frowns so hard in comparison to titanic when it comes to the late game, you will have instances when you want hydra more, but more times then not, you will want titanic more for the long term reasons.

I understand your point but do you understand the reason for the item?

Lets take champions like ... Sejuani, Gragas, Amumu, Udyr All of them can build tanky, have an AP scaling, and have a good amount of AP AOE damage

What we got on AD aoe? .. Illaoi (came after Titanic), GP ... not sure if you wanna count Talon W ...

So there was need of an item to make AD juggernaut champions aoe viable - that is what titanic does

What you are complaining about is, that it is working to well on champions, which aren't necessary intended to use it (Lee .. well as he has been built tanky before... is kind of ok) It is more or less the same problem as with item 3053 on ADC champs ...

Honestly my biggest complaint is how the items work TO well together

if you see a top laner carry go for

item 3053 + item 3748 + item 3071

You will simply be completely unable to kill them as they do massive damage+shred , while yes I agree Ap champions are able to do the same thing, but the items they have to make them do that work differently that prevents them from becoming major power houses.

and I have not even mentioned the all powerful

item 3053 +item 3156 + item 3072 combo

I feel the game as new creative items are introduced, more and more items are synergizing with eachother, which while is not a bad thing, but currently is, for they are the only reasonable build paths.

Riot has two options

1-Make more items with cool passives to battle the current 2-Nerf the current and slow down on new items

Looking at those item choices: They have no armor. The ADC can shred them from range

Steraks shield + the amount of HP is arguably more effective than wasting money on a item 3742 or item 3143

The Titanic + Steraks + BC combo makes late game armor items super effective, while still having a lot of tankiness early/mid due to HP.

There is no real answer to a "shredding ranged ADC." ADCs are designed to kill any champion/item path in 1v1 if they don't get blown up.

Yes, this is the classic "change the meta" item. Bruisers will be individually nerfed, then the item will be nerfed, then bruisers will feel like garbage again.

I feel like Riot does very limited play tests with new items/reworks. It seems to take months/LCS games to "fix" things that are blatantly overpowered for their cost.
