Oh well so fucking fun, amazing idea giving less cd to everyone. So fucking fun getting stunned for 6sec by someone clicking on you, doing nothing else

Oh well so fucking fun, not being able to even hit someone because he's invulnerable 24/7 and has like a 1sec window to hit him.

Oh well so fucking fun dealing with someone ranged who can dash every 1sec

They were right when they said "URF is the future of LoL", trying to remove cooldown from everything for L C S

It's only really good on a few champions.

True, and I think that's why no one really caught it before it hit live.

only a few champs get to play urf with it?

Well shit that makes it all better... oh wait that makes it worse

Akali is SO HOT1 votes

The only champs that can actually play urf with the item are Lucian and Renekton. Lucian doesn't even rush it most of the time and the same with Renekton. The only two champions that really rush this item are Sivir and Xayah and both of them are hot garbage atm. No idea why all these people think champions like Yi, Jax, and Fiora are all rushing and abusing this item because they aren't.

Why fix what isn't broken exactly?

Who is suddenly the best fucking champion because of Essence?

Just a few examples off the top of my head:

MasterYi Renekton Lucian Ezreal Jax (probably)

Meep Man3 votes

Renekton? Really?

Jax? He's good now, but not overwhelming.

Lucian and Ezreal are both good for different reasons. They were among a select few champions to not be nerfed itemization-wise by the ADC item changes. Maybe a little, but not enough to make them bad. And, to be fair, Ezreal abuses EVERYTHING to it's maximum.

Master Yi probably the only champion here that suddenly got a bump in power by this item being introduced and easily seen why. It gives CDR, a stat previously pretty hard to get in large quantity on him, fixes any mana issues he might have, and synergizes perfectly with his ultimate and kit. Master Yi has suddenly become a champion that a decent number of people fear, especially people who don't know how to handle him. However, if we look at Master Yi on any data site... his numbers are actually average at best. His play rate might have went up, but his win rate has only increased slightly. The biggest increase was near Bronze, where he got a 3% increase in win rate. The lowest was near Platinum, where his win rate went from 49% to 50%. What I'm saying is the only people who might suddenly think Yi is the best champion this patch are typically a lot lower in skill level, and that's not an insult. It's just stating what's shown by data. Yi is causing issues in lower ELOs and that might need to be addressed somehow, but it's certainly not a reason to nerf the item itself. If only ONE champion abuses an item, nerf the champion, not the item. (I'm looking at you too Ezreal!)

Actually essence reaver on renekton is very popular and has a decent(54%) winrate in plat.

One tricks have a 60% winrate with the item.(in plat)

wickd also regularly builds it on Renek, which is good enough proof for me.

Renekton procs it multiple times with W, allowing him to reduce his cooldowns including W by up to 60%, and that's only in the first 0.5 seconds of Essence Flare.

im pretty positive good yi and jax players don't build it.

It is broken though.

It either needs to be ranged only or nerfed heavily.

Essence Reaver was designed for ADC's yet MasterYi Renekton Jax are hard abusing it.

item 3053 was made melee only because ADC's "abused it"

Now Melee are abusing our items.

Is Yi, Jax, and Renekton strong because of Essence Reaver?

No, they aren't. Yi still stands at 46% winrate. Renekton is still irrelevant and ER is a win-more item. Jax, same thing, win-more item. It isn't actually that good and you can see by the stats.

did you get your ass kicked by a guy with an essence reaver or

MEXICOMAN2 votes

I think this may be about Yi.

sweetrules1 votes

To be fair, I don't think even the majority of the playerbase foresaw just how broken it was gonna be, let alone Riot. But now I'm hoping they nerf it quickly for next patch.

Akali is SO HOT1 votes

None of those champions listed in the post build Essence Reaver

Battalion2 votes

A lot of people including myself tried to bring attention to Essence Reaver when it was revealed, long before release. It's a cool concept, but there needs to be some balancing done to it.

sweetrules1 votes

To be honest, I rarely keep up with the pbe. I use to years ago, but not really anymore. So I admittedly didn't know how many or how few people were aware of how it was likely going to end up.

Meep Man1 votes

This guy just got stomped by a Yi haha! You can tell be the second statement.

Kurt Hyzan4 votes

No, Renekton actually. It's stupidly ridiculous to be stun locked for 6 seconds

Warlord Rhinark1 votes

I'd be fine with Essence Reaver just having the Essence Flare passive removed and it keeps the rest of the stats.

It's actually a really good item even without the Essence Flare passive.

Riot has no idea how to "fix" stuff for shit

It's annoying but survivable.

Davaken1 votes

I think the item is awesome. Very fun to use, and a very meaningful powerspike. Kinda sad that it isn't good on most of my champion pool, but whatever.

Mighty Mortein1 votes

Make it ranged only. There. It was designed for ADCs, keep it that way. Making it ranged means MasterYi Renekton and Jax can't abuse it. I think the fact that Essence Reaver made Lucian actually viable again is a good thing.

Noor Sakata1 votes

I really like it on Lucian , and I prefer a Lucian meta more than a Vayne or Cait or Kog meta , it's not like he is broken with it , but I can agree about Master Yi being broken with it.

I CANT BUILD IT ON MY TRYNDAMERE ANYMORE :(((

Have you guys seen a Fiora build it yet? 1 second cooldown on Q. Literally unkiteable.
