Like........what?

Exactly what I was thinking. It is a Gem after all, makes sense he has the most synergy with it.

2100 GOLD

CAN BE USED WHILE DEAD

OH MOTHER FUCK.

LwntOct 19, 20165 votes

Its has a 2 min cooldown and 2.5 second channeling. You miss when your alive most likely u wont be able to use it when you are dead.

BardfulOct 19, 20161 votes

what if someone isn't expecting it the range is 5500. The range and gold cost I find more ridiculous than anything else. 10% isn't much except on tanks but, it feels a little unfun to people watching somewhere else for a gank unless they give clarity of the move on the minimap as well as a sound cue.

Thankfully, it has the same cooldown as your respawn timer if you buy it while dead. Phew.

Honestly, you all way underestimate how long 2.5 secinds are. Thats double of a Veigar Meteor...the only way you will ever get the damage portion of the item will be if you perfectly time it with a hard CC. And then it also has an Ultimate level Cooldown.

DarkRitualOct 19, 20163 votes

GALIO ULT SYNERGY THOUGH!

RaoulOct 19, 20162 votes

Yes, that would work. If you have a Galio in your team and he uses the ultimate while the item is of Cooldown.

DarkRitualOct 19, 20162 votes

Depending on how the item active works, Galio himself might be able to use it without breaking his ult channel. Not exactly optimal stats on him, but would certainly be an option for later in games when he's mostly a flashultbot anyhow. For when you need a nuke during your ult nuke.

I dont think its gonna be that strong with 2.5s delay, but...

No ap assassin items? Im sad.

Electro522Oct 18, 20161 votes

True, but in teamfights, this will surprise the he'll out of anyone. I can see this being a must buy on pretty much any support.

AND 2100 GOLD!!! I'm scared that we may see more than just supports building this.

AP Assasins dont need new unique items. They already have plenty.

PennsOct 23, 20161 votes

Like? Every item they build is just as good on mages except for maybe Lich Bane but that item isnt good atm anyway.

Like?

item 3285 item 3152 item 3135 item 3100 item 3001

Whats your point?

AP Assasins benefit just fine from the same items Mages use, unlike AD assasins who don't benefit the same from ADC items. AP assassins already syngerise well with the utility they get from mage items enough to where new AP Assassin items are not needed.

-AP is the highest scaling stat in the game, -Has the least amount of resist, so not much flat Magic pen is needed. -has the most efficient reduction.

They really don't need the help.

it sounds more like a "wah wah we felt left out" deal than anything else.

NineTailedMysticOct 24, 20161 votes

Luden's isn't very good right now, Protobelt is an unholy abomination and is rather niche, Void Staff is cool, Lich Bane is incredibly niche, and Abyssal is kinda OP tbh.

Also AP is not the highest scaling stat. Mages hit their powerspike mid game for a reason. Crit based ADs scale the best.

I don't think you understand what highest scaling means. highest Scaling=/=highest total damage=/=strongest class of champs in the game.

AP as a STAT is the highest scaling stat in the game. Crit doesnt do jack for AD ratios on spells directly. Talon doesn't get more AD for building item 3046 .

NineTailedMysticOct 24, 20161 votes

Yea, maybe it gets the biggest number, but Crit x AD scales much better than AP. That's kinda why Assassin's don't buy Crit since they want Armor Pen and AD for their spells.

AP Ratios are typically much smaller than AD ratios anyways.

No it doesn't. You don't know what scaling means.

Because there is more AP in the game, AP gives you more stats than AD.

Dasdi96Oct 18, 20163 votes

A whole team of 5 can stack those and probably instawin fights because they removed half of the enemy team's health.

AstôlfoOct 18, 20163 votes

~~Uh, why wouldn't said enemy team just dodge the beam?~~ (Never mind, didn't think about CC) But yes, this is a problematic item.

EDIT: lmao why is this downvoted

TNHA BaritoneOct 19, 20164 votes

After 2.5 seconds....most cc doesnt last that long

Half effective if hit by one recently. At most a team of 5 could do 30% damage. Still not insignificant, but it would take a lot of coordination and waste an item slot on your top, mid, and ADC.

5000000000000000Oct 19, 20161 votes

It could be good on top too, situationally.

Linna ExcelOct 19, 20163 votes

Well, soraka needs something to go with item 3504 for that sweet heal multiplier.

LarcosOct 19, 20163 votes

We don't even know how large the zone of healing/damage is. It could be the size of a Soraka Starcall for all we know.

Supreme Senpai69Oct 19, 20161 votes

plus you have to use it near your dead body

MelledoneusOct 19, 20161 votes

It's a bit bigger than Taric's ult radius.

Blue Moon WolfOct 19, 20163 votes

ah see, they think that since it has no AD or AP, everyone but supports will overlook it. But we know better, don't we Rito?

Ezreal item 3025

DarkRitualOct 19, 20163 votes

It also has mediocre defensive stats, and no CC attached to it. However, it's great for checking Baron after you get deathbushed because nobody on your team has bought a blue trinket after asking them to 3 times. #supportlife

Mecha MaIphiteOct 18, 20162 votes

The beam better be the size of a pebble, there's no way something like this could be balanced otherwise.

LwntOct 19, 20162 votes

It has a 2.5 second channeling time. You can avoid it.

ElikainOct 19, 20162 votes

2.5 seconds is pretty long by League's standards. Even Taric's ult is really hard to predict and during that short period of 2.5 seconds, a target can die without problems.

SlythionOct 18, 20161 votes

I'm fairly confident this is fake...

Electro522Oct 18, 20162 votes

No, it isn't. Go onto Surrender@20. You'll find it.

l Helios lOct 18, 20161 votes

I think the + for this is that it gives supports who get caught and instadie. Also helps combat the roaming potential of some supports like Bard who are always there before you.

Craft ZeppelinOct 19, 20161 votes

I can see like 3 people buying this item. Then raining exterminatus on the enemy.

Athenes LuluOct 23, 20161 votes

A massive laser that has a fairly slow delay (like the Veigar W kind of slow) on like a 2 minute cooldown...

You're gonna have to be in a real teamfight to even land it.

DrakylonOct 23, 20161 votes

Bard has great synergy with this item. Tempered Fate locks enemies in stasis for over 2.5 seconds, which means a well-timed Redemption is guaranteed to hit.
