Item Problem Series; Blade of the Ruined King
http://elohell.net/public/items/Blade_of_the_Ruined_King_item1.png #Blade of the Ruined King:
This item was nerfed overly in two ways, the two things that made it shine and that now turned it into a middle game item (except for Vayne and maybe Kog), and I must say I am ok with that, but for those of you who don't remember, here is the deal:
The on-hit: before the nerf this item used to deal 8% of the current life of the target as physical damage and healed the user for the bonus damage dealt, now it just heals you for the % life steal it grants and the damage was reduced to 6%... and to break it down to you, I am ok with that!
The Active: this one used to deal 15% of the target max life as physical damage and heal the user for the damage dealt (plus stealing movement speed), the only nerf it received was the reduction of the damage, as it was reduced to 10%, but they added a minimum to it, and I'm ok with this!
#The Problem:
This item was changed to a mid game item, and it depends not only in attack speed but also it depends upon Armor Penetration to do it's job properly (and I use armor penetration runes whenever I plan to used BortK), the problem mainly is one, since it builds from
the on-hit may get to a point where it has no power at all, and even during the early game against squishies some time it results to be better to not build the BortK completely in terms of damage output, so the way to fix it is to add a minimum damage per hit (15, the same of recurve bow), so that the item doesn't get to a point where it looses grip, specially considering that when you complete it it doesn't gain attack damage compared to
, it doesn't gain life steal compared to it either, and the attack speed increase is only about 15% compared to
, wich means little to a recipe that costs 750 gold (with 250 more you could just buy another
-if only their passives stacked-).
So to compense this power lost it should gain a minimum damage, damn, the maths would even be ok with 10 of minimum damage.
Tell me what you think, if you like this hit like, if you don't hit dislike. Also tell me if you have any item that troubles you, if it is needing an small buff or a nerf.
