active: health steal - removed active: steals 25% movement speed for 3 seconds (90 seconds cooldown)

Excuse me Rito, but 90 seconds cooldown for 25% movement speed steal, considering Frozen Mallet has no cooldown and got 40% speed reduction

Furthermore why did you decided to reduce the **attack speed ** and increase the attack damage? It seems kinda random decision especially for Onhit effect item, which has no AD scaling

It's almost like frozen mallet is a different item

why is this item being made better for AD casters and not the auto attackers it was actually meant for? Aatrox Shyvana Udyr MasterYi

Yeah, I'm kind of confused at the direction. I've always been under the impression BotRK was the complement to Devourer/BloodRazor Junglers with the occasional abuse from Vayne. I can't think of any AD Casters off the top of my head that currently build this.

I think it balances out in the end. The only thing I don't agree with is a 90 second cooldown on possibly one of the worst slows in the game. All of these champions will benefit from increased AD and life steal.

I don't know man, I think you guys might be bonkers.

Do you play on-hit champions?

Let me tell you what this means for me as a Yi main. It means that now I can stack bloodrazor, blade of the ruined king, and guinsoo's rageblade without necessarily overcapping on attack speed when I ult late game. I might need to change my runes to have less attack speed.

The extra 5% lifesteal is AMAZING by the way, since most on-hit damage is physical damage, and on-hits do in fact benefit from lifesteal. This makes drain-tanking much better for on-hit champions.

And what on-hit/botrk champions do you guys play that don't benefit from AD? Yi loves AD, it makes his Q burst harder, it benefits from his 10% AD steroid, it increases the amount of true damage he deals, it obviously increases the damage of his autos, and it benefits from the lifesteal of the item. Warwick prefers the AD as well, since his Q and ult scale all right with it, and he frankly does not need much attack speed at all since that dude easily hits the cap without a single bought attack speed item when he gets a target low. Tryndamere of course likes AD because he's a crit monster, though I'll admit his lack of an AS steroid does make its benefits over AS a bit more iffy. Jax doesn't tend to build it these days, but the AD scales with several of his spells, including his ult, making him tankier. Yasuo (for those who sometimes build the top lane duelist build with botrk like me) loves the AD for his crits, and doesn't need any more attack speed than his PD. Xin Zhao likes the AD due to his low cooldown Q and his W scaling with it, and he gets a big attack speed steroid from his W already. The only champions who might prefer AS IMO are Vayne, Kog'maw, and perhaps Ezreal.

The only change I'm iffy on is the removal of the burst drain of the active.

"burst drain" - You serious telling my 10% target max health as phys damage is burst?

When I build crits on Yi my basic attacks has over 1k crit Damage.

BT got 75 AD while BT got 45 AD

It's enough to kill a low health squishy that might escape. That's enough.

I'm not sure what your point is here. All I will say is that crit Yi is a shitty cheese build.

BT got 75 AD while BT got 45 AD

Go on.

What the hell do you do when you play Yi? Scratching enemies butts?

Hmmm.... Vayne nerf?

SlashStriker1 votes

if this is a nerf then

  1. its nerf to all champion that build BORK
  2. Vayne could deal target Current health instead Max Health true damage

I would like to hear their goals here as these changes are a little strange to look at personally. I don't necessarily disagree with them, but I would like to know their direction.
