A Couple Mage Item Ideas

Spice POWAH·8/30/2017, 11:58:04 PM·2 votes·368 views

Hey, it's me, irrelevant silver scrub number 85927423

I got a couple of ideas that I wanted to share. (Numbers subject to change)

The first one is a way to bring an item similar to Netherstride Grimoire into the game. The reason it isn't in the game is because having both that and item 3116 would be waaaaaay too annoying and probably also OP. So, a (relatively) recent addition showed me the solution: This item 3174 .

Flamestrider Grimoire Builds out of: item 3108 + item 3802 + 900G +75AP +300 Mana

Unique Passive- Arcane Power: 20% CDR, Restores 15% missing mana on kill/assist Over 3 seconds. (Morello's. would have its CDR and restore passive combined/changed into this so they don't stack.)

Unique Passive: Flaming Feet - Hitting a champion with an ability gives 20% movement speed for 2 seconds. Cannot coexist with Ice. (Ice would be Rylai's passive. Might also need to consider IBG and Mallet to be Ice, but that could be less of a problem)

Not really sure what the other stats should be, exactly, but After giving the thought more... thought, I decided on some more specific stats. I thought it could be an alternative to Morello's that gives less raw stats in exchange for the movement speed. This also solves the problem of having both passives on at once, because buying both results in a lot of wasted stats. Rylai's would probably be used more on support mages instead (this makes sense to me because Rylai is a support in DoTA2). Could be mostly an alternative to Morello's, but might need weaker stats on something or it'll just become Morellonomicon 2: The Movie (edited)

Next, an AP/Armor item that might be situationally better than Zhonya's. and acts kinda like Banshee's

Millenium Shield (Different name needed, of course)

Builds: item 3191 + item 1052 + 765G? +70 AP +45 armor Unique passive: Gain a barrier(not like Janna shield, more like Sej passive) that grants 10(+ 35%AP) Armor that lasts for 1.25 seconds after taking damage from champions or epic monsters. Regenerates after 40(?) seconds of not taking damage.

This is meant to protect Mages from AD poke damage and non-delayed burst. Also, putting an AP ratio on the passive barrier is meant to prevent tanks and stuff from (ab)using it, just in case.

That's it, please leave thoughts.

EDIT: Made some stuff on the book more specific

Not bad, but have you considered what kind champions would use these items? For instance flame strider be an interesting on champions like diana or fizz would probably be the intended target, however can you imagine what Teemo would do with that item? He just needs to auto once then he gets a speed boost that lasts till his poison wears off. Cassiopeia also comes to mind of poison using people who would like this item.

You could add a cooldown on it would be more like storm raiders surge than phage which could lead to some interesting hit and run tactics. Mostly it seems like a slight redundancy. We already have an ap / movement speed item with luden's. League should try to keep it's items relatively as few as possible since that's something a new player has to learn in order to play unlike champions and keystones they just need to choose once at the beginning of play. Speaking of keystones this actually could make for an interesting keystone.

I find millenium's shield's purpose as little confusing. Zhonya's is an ap/armor item that is good at negating a lot of damage for a short time, and millenium's shield is also a ap/armor item that negates damage for a short time. They seem to fulfill the same job with not very many reasons to choose one over the other for a specific situation like you mentioned. You could make it last shorter but be up more often so it's designed to take poke.
