The "Zeal" is exactly 265 gold overpriced

alphakennyone66··2 votes·1,345 views

I would like to see the "Zeal's" price reduced. I did the math and for the cost of the actual buffs themselves that the item gives you. The price of compression and build is 265 gold. I'm throwing away 15 minion cs to compress the "dagger" the "brawler's gloves" and 1/5 "Boots of Speed"

k. shave 265 gold in stats off it then.

critical strike items have cubic scaling synergy with each other. this means buying the second critical strike item largely increases the worth of the first. thats why the items shouldnt be very strong individually.

otherwise these builds are ramping up in power too fast.

That's a very reasonable, fair and an objectively smart analysis of the situation. I like it. But I play adc and would not mind getting ridiculously overpowered in any and all games even if this wrecked the game balance for everybody else and just resulted in everybody building crit-ad and nothing else, ultimately resulting in masses of players quitting the game, ending LoL forever. How does that factor into the math? Maybe 20 gold off? :D

Season 6-7 was enough of that. No more we don't want to go back

You realize that I purposefully overstated the apocalyptic consequences of a selfish need for more power for comedic effect and things were never that bad? Like how I wrote the game would end and you know... it's still here? Lol.

you want more immediate strength from buying the item earlier, you get less lategame scaling.

The OP is suggesting the cost be reduced to attain full gold efficiency, so shaving stats off would defeat the purpose.

op is suggesting to break the shit out of them.

reducing the gold cost without shaving off stats defeats the purpose of the crit items nerfs a few patches ago.

no...

if item 3095 does get nerfed adcs will simply go back to zeal bf while being decent at teamfights for such little gold

Did somebody say...YASUO BUFFS? No. Nor should they ever.

While I would like zeal items to be as gold efficient as they used to be, and I especially want a way for the triple crit build to not waste 20% crit chance in stats, it should be done in stat increases and better optimization, as the current power curve for crit builds is fine.

Wouldn't want people to start whining too much again, and we don't need another 8.11.

Yeah i just want things to stay consistent for the rest of the season as far as adcs are concerned thanks
