@Riot: Athene's Unholy Grail

AHarmlessTaco·May 23, 2017·1 votes·252 views

Can we see Athene's work off of on-hit bonuses such as Ardent Censer and Nami's Tidecaller's Blessing? Also, maybe trade 10% CDR for like +20 AP and bump the maximum stacks to like 280? I feel like those changes would make it a pretty comparable item to others without breaking it. I'm not saying it is a weak item, but it is definitely not something that feels slot efficient in the late game and is weaker than Ardent in the early game (IMO), making it an awkward purchase at all times.

It's ridiculous how Ardent Censer is better than Athene's... Ardent is pretty much always better than Athene's because it gives your carry sustain, damage and attack speed. Gives you AP to increase your shield and heals and synergizes with itself with increasing them by 10% effectively meaning you're pseudo increasing your AP by 10%.

Athene has to work for every single heal, RIDICULOUSSSS.

._. I appreciate the, uhm, enthusiasm.

Honestly I do think Athene's is a strong first item, very strong, but honestly it doesnt scale well and there are a lot of other priority buys. Forreal though, buy Athene's as a first item on Nami. Your laning phase becomes disgusting.

I know that Athene's is a good item but Ardent is pretty much better in every way.
