SR might need FoN

GigglesO·Aug 20, 2018·1 votes·954 views

Now hear me out normally I complain about how damage is taking over and blah blah blah, but in nexus blitz I’m getting an old feeling back. The one of being tanky and having item choices. I feel durable enough to do my job in team fights. I feel like I can actually not just die instantly. Sure maybe it needs some tuning for SR, but I feel like it needs to make a comeback.

PS reasons I don’t see an issue is if I’m building it I lose a lot of damage output, grevious wounds gets a place in this game for “counter play”. I still am not unkillable.

I would agree with this tbh. The item on SR that gives the most MR atm is item 3102 , and this is supposed to be a defensive item for damage champions. item 3091 can outscale it after a few hits, but this is generally bought as a damage item too.

item 4401 , while providing no health (which neither Banshee's or Wit's provide, come to think of it), provides stats that are generally better for tanks to build. It's also pretty much always feels useful to build, which doesn't always seem the same for the other items that item 1057 currently builds into on SR ( item 3193 , item 3001 , item 3512 , and item 3091 , which are all good items, but are generally situational purchases atm from what I can tell)

The issue with item 3102 and item 3091 as far as I'm concerned is that they are both damage items, with defense attached. They miss the mark on giving enough durability to survive while missing the mark on giving enough damage to kill the enemy first.

yeah, because mages need an item everyone will just rush to cuck them even further. You are not meant to be unkillable, not in any stage if the game. If you are being focused you will and should die FAST regardless of how many resistances you have

So how is it that thornmail doesn't "cuck" ad champions, but FoN would for mages? Its essentially the same item in terms of defense...

INB4 "Mages are shit" well maybe thats another balance issue all together. Tanks need some in combat regen so that if they aren't getting focus fired they can do their job.

if Thornmail actually did much of anything it would cuck auto attack based champions. FoN was removed due to it invalidating mages in the first place and how strong it was against everything in general. Sorry but tanks do not need in combat regen
