Spellvamp used to make mages better. Most of them are very immobile and have no real healing ability which generally makes them a super easy target and in this assassin/ tank meta they need more sustain. especially those that simply do damage and dont have the cc or mobility to properly defend themselves during the laning phase. the only real choice they have in this case would be a gunblade which is generally a piss poor choice on mages
PrismalDawn1 votesNo because Vladimir exists. Riot hates Vlad.
ktjnkk1 votesVlad is so broken it's disgusting idk if riot rly hates vlad rather i think 70% of the balancing team might be vlad mains circlejerking each other
Cuddly Wolfy1 votesThey did. Its called 25% of the ability damage you do you get as hp.
Thee Pie Man1 votesMages are supposed to be glass cannon. You're basically saying the few champions that are mages that can use it should have it taken away as a niche item for them/builds and to make it a standardized "Why would anyone not take it" kind of thing.
Riot's goal from what all the changes towards damage/less armor etc are showing is to make the games SHORTER, not longer, I really doubt they'd want another lane to have health regeneration of any sort and probably will slowly wipe it out of the other lanes/phase it until it's primarily jungle and bottom, which again seems to be the case. And then having champions like Olaf, WW, Nasus etc be the few champions that have LS into their passives, just like they did for silences. Making Silence a niche thing on champions like Soraka E and Garen's Q etc.
Morgana has a built in passive for Spell Vamp against Champs and Large monsters, just use her if you want that. That's a benefit of her kit, or use Vlad, because that's what he's all about is regaining health and prolonged battles of attrition.

I know how it used to be? I'm saying they are moving away from that kind of thing, and they will continue to do so. Lifesteal used to also take 3 hits to fill your entire HP bar. Neither of the things were balanced with the old game. Spell vamp is only allowed conditionally for certain champions in general because the function it provides is supposed to be a bonus. As I said, not something everyone should have in their kit. There's differences in champions- such as Vlad as someone pointed out, that would make the item ridiculously overpowered on those cases. It's better this way in my opinion.
5050BS1 votesWe need LESS Self Healing by Damage dealers. Not more.
They need to CAP LifeSteal at 20% from items and 20% from Champ abilities.
Add back SpellVamp but it follows the same rules.
Would make this game 1000% better then it is now.
