Actually it works pretty well, especially with its new passive. I want to get poked now, lol

If you're a squishy mage, "poke" could literally be your life pool late game. Gives way less mana and isn't a tanky mage item anymore and gives way less AP. It's a joke ;p

As far as I'm concerned the health from RoA wasn't changed, wasn't it?

the new passive is garbage, at least during lanning, you would have to take a very, very high amount of dmg to compensate for the lvl up regen it gave.

I feel like multiple older items are garbage now

I don't see how you see this as awful. Sure, it lost some stats, but it also builds incredibly fast now, giving you better stats that build you up quicker into mid game. The power spike of the item has merely shifted from late to mid because it doesn't take much to build it anymore.

I have no idea what to build now since zhonyas stats are garbage and rod got nerfed

I did the calculations, Zhonya's price was reduced by 600 GP for only losing 30AP. so about 3/4 of a Blasting Rod. Which is pretty close. (And Zhonya's now also has CDR)

Unless your problem is Slot effecentcy as a late game items. It's stats Shouldn't even be an issue.

We bought it for superior AP in lategame and sustain, now it gives nothing to be worth it compared to other similar items. Might see item 3165 item 3003 or item 3165 item 3116 working better
