AD increased from 25 to 45 Attack speed lowered from 40% to 25% Lifesteal increased from 10% to 15% Minimum damage on on hit increased from 10 to 15. Unique Active changed - damage/self heal portion has been removed. Still slows.

[removed] "Steals 10% of target champion's maximum Health (min. 100) as physical damage, heals for the same amount,"

Still costs 3400 gold.

As someone who plays Kog maw, this change puts him in a weird spot. It was good against high health targets and now without the active its just another life steal item. Maybe the on hit will be good for on-hit kog, but at 3400 gold it dose not seam like a good buy. Other champs will continue to buy item 3139 item 3072

Curious what everyone thinks about the changes.

i think this new bork is going to be the premiere 1st item purchase for adc's now. adc's have been weak this season, as im sure you know. this change is aimed at making bork more of a 1st purchase on-hit item for carries, rather than a fighting/skirmishing item for assassins and fighters. the lifesteal will be comparable to a bloodthirster now...since it'll have 15% instead of 10%, and the lifesteal applies to the %hp passive of bork. not to mention the active is still extremely useful for any adc who could use a little self-peel. 3 sec 25% slow? yes pls. thats a wet dream for kogmaw. the heal was never anything special to begin with, unless you used it on a high health target. the heal was only nice for champs like zed who abused it during a 1v1
