League needs a tank item that buffs towers

How about an active item that buffs turret attack speed? JUST SOMETHING. Towers are useless after like 12 minutes.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just wanna say, careful what you wish for. You don't want to end up in the same position as supports and sightstone where a item becomes so fundamental you'll be dooming yourself if you don't always take it.

But hey at least they're given 4 choices to choose from! item 2303 item 2302 item 2301 item 2045

Valderis VandalaNov 29, 20172 votes

Hmm, 4 flavors of shit, thank you Riot. XD

Linna ExcelNov 30, 20171 votes

item 3504 at the end of last season is a little more like it.

I do not see a problem with the sightstone. It feels good to spent 800G and have the freedom to build whatever your champion needs to help the team while also providing the vision your team needs.

Also Braum the sight is the key to victory. Also stone.

It is both a blessing and a curse. Supports have been the ward bitch since adc/support became meta I believe. A lot has changed for the better since those days but the stigma remains. Sightstone is a gold noose around the neck of the support role, people might even rage at you if you don't buy it. But it also gives the support a lot of power, because vision is amazingly powerful and comes very cheap.

Still, the game as a whole would be better off if vision truly was the responsibility of everyone, it is of course, but at the same time sightstone is still a thing and nobody but the support is expected to buy it. It really hinders your options because its a big early gold sink. Plus the stigma remains on the support role, which is still the least favored role to such an extend that it requires special features in the client just to make up for its unpopularity just so we can have more normal que times.

There is still room for improvement, eventually sightstone will have to go.

And item 1055 is still a requirement for AD champs and item 1056 for AP.

It's one of the first items a support will build on back, and goes into the much more powerful item 2301 which provides a great power spike for hardsups like Sona or Nami who have serious mana problems beforehand.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having your first one or two items be similar.

Valderis VandalaNov 30, 20172 votes

That's a dishonest comparison. You can't compare starting items that are the same for everyone with a special item that is mandated to 1 role that needs to be build in addition to those items and is more the double their price.

KarunamonNov 30, 20171 votes

....it does more. AD role build AD items, AP role build AP items, Jungle role builds Jungle items, and yes, Support role builds Support items.

I'm really, truly not seeing what the complaint is here. Everybody can buy control wards, everybody gets a trinket. Every role has their part to play, every role has things they're more responsible for than others.

Valderis VandalaNov 30, 20171 votes

Yes, everybody can buy wards, everybody has trinkets, every role has their part to play, every role has its particular strengths and due to that a particular responsibility to the team.

Except for supports, they get the extra burden of being the ward bitch.

Ohmsaver? (anti-Ohmwrecker?)

Velzard of KozNov 29, 201710 votes

Ohmwrecker? Is that the new game mode we will be playing this winter?

Bob the ToastrNov 30, 20171 votes

Are you sure? I thought it was a new champion?

ChemicalBusterNov 30, 20171 votes

i have never seen anyone buy that ever

Chembaron YamadaNov 29, 20174 votes

I prefer to get a new champion for that, a tank who has special interactions with towers and functions as an anti-sieging tank.

Probably a warden.

AirKingNeoNov 29, 20171 votes

So every tank with waveclear that already beats splitpushers?

DragonSheaNov 30, 20172 votes

Here is an Idea for such an item.

Sentinel's Bulwark:

Cost: 2800

Armor 55 MR: 45 125% HP regen

UNIQUE PASSIVE - Point Runner PASSIVE - Watchman: Grant towers 40% your total Armor and Magic resist when in near towers. ACTIVE - Fortify Tower: Grant towers 20% of your bonus HP and 60% or your total MR and Armor as a shield for 4 seconds.

ªTeemoNov 30, 20172 votes

That would be totally broken what the fuck. So cheap and gives so much stuff

KarunamonNov 30, 20171 votes

What's broken right now is the fact that the towers are apparently held together with Amumu 's tears and Singed 's adhesive.

ªTeemoNov 30, 20171 votes

Well yeah but that doesn't change the fact that that item would be totally broken

Linna ExcelNov 29, 20171 votes

The best way to protect your towers is to be able to clear minions faster than the other team and know how to deal with split pushers.

AirKingNeoNov 29, 20171 votes

Why? Tanks are already good at stopping splitpushers too well. Why the fuck should they double fuck them?

Just buff towers by a reasonable amount instead of terrible decisions.

Moltres SucksNov 29, 20171 votes

Maybe an item that makes the tower's MAX HP and DEF equal to champions MAX HP and DEF for passive or active?

PS: Or add them to tower's stat instead?

BobaFlautistNov 30, 20171 votes

item 3068 item 3748 item 3025

"Unique Passive - Reinforced Armor: Gains 66.66% Damage Reduction (includes True Damage Reduction) when no enemy minions are in range for attack."

AimléssNov 30, 20171 votes

Pretty sure towers already have that passive are you trolling?

SamBunzlyNov 30, 20173 votes

Hes saying to use these items for wave clear and keep the minions off your tower...

BobaFlautistNov 30, 20171 votes

Ding ding ding ding ding!

AimléssDec 1, 20171 votes

Problem is, any fed team will melt the hell out of a melee who's trying to wave clear to prevent a seige, so I'm sorry, but that's still not a solution.

Altonius AmakiirNov 30, 20171 votes

Call it Ohmsaver

The DeckownerNov 30, 20171 votes

Turret can have 2.5 attackspeed and people will still just walk through it. We need the spell from nexus siege that makes turret invulnerable for a few seconds as well as killing all minions around it, it can be on a 2 minute CD if the effect is too OP.

DunkinNoobsNov 30, 20171 votes

You don't win games by defending towers.

item 3056

I kid you not, that sometime in the past I made a post similar to this that got down voted. League players just don't know what they want other than to complain. Anyway I support you 100%
