Rod of Ages Ornn Item?

I think there should be an Ornn item upgrade for Rod of Ages called 'Rod of Eons' and I don't wanna make it overpowered, but here are the example stats: +75 AP (5 AP (instead of 4 AP) every minute stacking to 50 AP for full stacks), +350 HP (25 HP (instead of 20 HP) every minute stacking to 250 HP for full stacks), +400 Mana (15 mana (instead of 10 mana) every minute stacking to 150 for full stacks). The passive would not be affected because of the Ornn Upgrade. These stats are not what I think should be implemented, they were just examples.

Hes missing a lot of important upgrades, why not an upgrade to item 3143 or item 3110 , why force me to buy item 3001 or item 3068 when I just want to function as a long lasting frontline.

It doesn't force you to buy anything. The upgrades are not cost efficient to get outside of a last item upgrade like when you start buying elixirs. This means that most games are done before you should even be looking at his items anyways.

They don't cost anything now, ornn upgrades them from leveling up for free, still late game but you can get them a lot sooner if he thinks you need it more / youre the only one with an upgradeable item.

You don't buy his items anymore, so it is pretty hard to be cost inefficient when they are free.

You are really really out of touch.

The first upgradeable item you buy is the one Ornn will convert...... for FREE post level 14.
Ornn can upgrade 2 of his OWN for free at 13.

In other words, if you want a Death Cap, and not a Luden's, you first item the Death Cap. If you want an ME, not a WotrK, you start IE, not Botrk.

I frequently get Ornn to level 17 and upgrade 3-4 before game ends.

Yes, item 3143 and/or item 3193 would be nice.

Tbh in current meta the Randuin's would be the best.

Tbh though, I have no problem staying under 3-4 deaths as Ornn even without his shield :S. Kit's too easy to carry with,

I think if I had to pick other options for tank upgrades, I’d probably choose the tank capstones item 3193 item 3083

I considered asking for those too but....

I doubt riot would add an upgrade to item 3193 since half of its stats would come from the passive already. If they did add an upgrade to it , would probably be 20 armor + 20 mr, if we are lucky they will also consider the passive and give us another 20+20 on the base armor / mr.

item 3083 on the otherhand they will probably give us a ton of base health regen and only 200 hp while sunfire gives nearly that much + extra armor.....

Infact, im sure they wouldn't do much with item 3110 wont add anymore cdr to it(too much to begin with), probably 40 armor, lots of mana so now I don't think they should add an upgrade to that either for the sake of it...

Atleast with items that give hp AND resistance, riot has been kind to buff both a very considerable amount item 3068 item 3001 item 3379 item 3373

Sunfire gets 200 health 30 armor from upgrading

Abyssal mask gets 200 health 35 mr from upgrading.

That's getting close to doubling the stats on abyssal mask which is a pretty strong item already, not to mention it has an offensive passive.....lets not forget that mr is hard to get a lot of on a single item, the only items in the game that give 60+ mr are item 3379 and item 3193 when around 3 enemies.

If we are counting combat stats alone (No mana, not a lot of weight on base health regen or cdr since we should already be capping)

They would need to give 400 hp+ to item 3083 since it gives purely hp and no armor / mr.

And 50+ armor to item 3110 since it gives 100 armor and no hp or mr.

And 30-40 armor + mr to item 3193 since it can give 80 of both already.

item 3143 can give a realistically powerful upgrade when compared to item 3068 since they share similar stats, if riot has been kind to sunfire cape, they are very likely to be just as kind to omen.

But lets hope for the best.
