there are so many things wrong with creating extra minions
they dont die in one turret shot, and reach the tower before it can fire a second shot
the cooldown is shorter than the active(why?????????)
theres nothing stopping your entire team from buying one each and spamming bot lane with them while you go top
please someone tell me im not the only one who sees the giant flaws in this
Lord Dusteon4 votesThe minions start rapidly decaying health after ~4 seconds, so unless the gate is put near a tower they can't push. Otherwise, they are meant to help tanks splitpush; they gain damage equal to 50% of the owner's armor + magic resist after a few seconds, do damage to turrets, but still allow counters to it (the voidlings ignore champions and the gate itself is weak).

thats a fucking relief
l Main Renekton1 votesI can't say I like the way it looks, but we can't tell definitely until it's in game.
But I would say that it adds a lot of notable issues, and that it's kind of frustrating to even think about.
Leti the Yeti1 votesannnd looks like nasus is getting a wee bit more stacks now, yay
Sire Hippington1 votesyou need to put them close to towers to actually hurt them, which makes them pretty vulnerable if you leave them alone, and getting one on each champ means you commit alot gold into an item that not only isn't that stat efficient, but also doesn't offer the stats you actually would want on many champions, so even if your voidlingarmy can spiktpush that outer bot tower, you will loose the 5v5 and probably even more objektives because of it. it'S a great situative item for tanks that need to apply more towerpressure(guess we'll see more shen then), and it can be used to defend your own tower vs big waves, but it isn't particularry strong at pushing towers with no one nearby.
Long Dong Wukong1 votesNo, you aren't the only one.
It's honestly the worst thing I've ever seen Riot do, and I've been playing since Season 1. It's a stupid, stupid idea.
If it's useful, it's broken horse shit. IF it isn't useful, it's a neverbuy that shouldn't even be in the shop. It's a shitty idea, sorry Riot.
TeemoHunter13371 votesi can see supports building it
i also find the item unneccasary.
a support will build it. put it on either side of the lane to create pressure, then go mid to team fight.
UselessAnyway1 votesI'm sure there will be lost of limits to that item, and it will either be overpowered and nerfed into oblivion later or just not be good from the get-go, usually what happens with like, I don't know, everything in the game? So I'm not too worried about it myself, only the first few days of people buying it every game, again, if its that good.
