I don't notice Zeke's at all

the AOE you get from activating it is so small, and I don't even know if it's doing anything

anyone else having the same issue? this item is really underwhelming, i can't really gauge if it's actually effective or not

Question: How does the bonus magic damage work? Is it 50% of someone's built ap, or 50% of the damage from someone's AA?

If it's the latter...that's pretty fucking strong for someone like Leona. You can build Banner to get point runner, engage with the field on, and anyone your adc hits while they're near you gets consistently burned red buff style. If it's the former...fucking RiP Zeke's we hardly knew ya...

im pretty sure it's the latter

like 50% of the last attack, or maybe it's just their auto attack

really wish it would at least apply to spells, the marksman bias in support items is ridiculous

If it's 50% of your adc's last AA, and late game adcs can crit for like 700+ damage, that's 300 or so damage on a 2 sec burn. Idk how many times that ticks, but that's actually really painful.

But yeah, if Riot wants to diversify the bot lane meta, they need to make more support items that are just generally helpful and less tied to marksmen. Maybe I'll make a post on it.

The I think they will end up changing it again, even if it did work it's a completely underwhelming item

Poor Zekes. I have built it a total of maybe 4 times in my hundreds of games. And I have never felt like it helped (talking about the old version).

I use it on taric and it's kind of hidden by the ult itself lol, I kinda wish they would make it clearer. It is effective though seemingly less so than the old version. But with the old version it was kinda like, why build it if my adc is trying to build crit anyways and new version it's like oh I forgot I had this item lol

I've been trying it out and when I read snowstorm I was thinking Anivia ult, not Sunfire lol

Couldn't really tell if it ever did anything or if my ally was even using the burn damage. The item is a cool concept but could be expressed more clearly.

I've been trying to figure out when to use this item. I thought it was a laning phase thing but it takes too long to build... The only champions I would want to build it on are kinda gimmicky, like Tahm Kench: you basically fake cast his ultimate and cancel it to get the effect. It seems so niche.

Good item for ARAM?

stats are weaker imo then redemption (even after the nerf of said item) and the active is weaker then the one redemption offers.

if they would add like idk 200 health to zeke's it be ok stat wise imo. let it build from a catalyst perhaps? a lot of tanky supports would not mind building that item

Yeah the range is pretty small

I used it on blitz one game, it feels fine since blitz doesn't have an innate slow, but probably nobody else would use it

It's not super whelming. It's kinda like a cheap crappy sunfire cape with cdr and Mr instead of health. I've tried it with j4 support in conjunction with sunfire Cape and it's alright

Do someone use it as a top lane item? These stats (60 armor+ 30mr+10% cdr and 250 mana) should be kind of correct if that top laner is like Renekton Darius Nasus The passive could be useful on them if used accordingly with the adc. Just think about it: malphite ult the ennemy and proc that storm who slow by 20% then Jinx start a carnage with 150% dmg + increasing that slow to 40%...
