Morellonomicon's CDR Should be Unique.

PentaJump··10 votes·1,307 views

In the TSM vs UoL game, Bjergson built two Morellonomicons. Though he was mocked for it, it makes a lot of sense. Morellonomicon is VERY cost efficient, assuming you make use of the mana regeneration. As it is now, the only Unique function of the item is its healing reduction. If nothing about this item is changed, I anticipate it becoming more common to build 2x Morellonomicons.

At the moment, Morellos is stronger than grail, as an offensive item.

People are only now realizing this?

I've been doing double-rello's for a while

I never realized the items CDR wasn't unique until Bjergson built it. I just assumed the CDR was unique, like it was with most of RIOT's older items.

I think the problem is mainly that Morello is overall too good, its stats are too efficient even before its great passive. I think it needs a small nerf even to building it once more than it needs a nerf only targeted at building it twice.

I'd wait for the meta to shift before nerfing Morellos. At the moment, assassins seem to be strong, and while they often still build this item, it isn't as important on them as it is on other mages.

Only if you don't buy Grail, though...

CDR has never been a unique stat; i don't see why its necessary to change now. The item is stat efficient yes, but it falls off when compared to other items, and the item build path does not provide a lot of stats: you gain over three times the AP that item 3108 gives you. So the buildup to it is weaker.

Actually, CDR was almost always a Unique stat for any items that provided it.

It stacks from different items, but does not stack from multiple copies of the same item.

item 3152 item 3023 item 3071 item 3128 item 3717 item 3721 item 3725 item 3716 item 3025 ....need i go on? None of these have CDR as Unique. I agree there is disparity between items; why are some unique and others not? It's a good question, but you are wrong that it's "almost always" unique.

item 3709 item 3717 item 3721 item 3725 item 3710 item 3718 item 3722 item 3726 item 3708 item 3716 item 3720 item 3724 item 3707 item 3714 item 3719 item 3723

These don't count because you can only have one jungle item so effectively all of their stats are Unique.

True. but there are plenty of others. item 3174 item 3508 item 3110 item 3065 item 3050 item 3172 item 3142

actually....basically every item except nashors and the things it builds from, and brutalizer.

CDR is often a unique stat, especially in the past. It still is on items like zephyr and stinger. On certain champions, morellonomicon does not fall off. It gives ap per gold than items such as rylais or zhonyas, as well as giving a great amount of CDR and mana regen. In an extended fight or in siege situation, cdr and mana regen can be just as useful as the extra damage that void or dcap gives.

Did Riot screw up again?

Any item with flat armor penetration should have UNIQUE flat armor penetration. See: Black Cleaver and Pre-Season 3

Any item with CDR should have UNIQUE CDR.

Yeah I thought it was retarded at first

Then I checked and Morello's is 140% cost efficient without the passive
