Why can't I buy ammo from the shop?

LaughingStapler··38 votes·2,431 views

The shop has many weapons and I don't see why they wouldn't stock some extra ammunition. As Jhin, I want to stock up on bullets and maybe buy a better gun with a larger ammo capacity. I don't need a pickaxe! Personally, I think this shop owner should go out of business. Graves, Cait, and I will be taking our business elsewhere.

Hmmmmm....Although this is supposed to be funny...what if Jhin and Graves could spend like 300g or something to have a 60 second ammo boost? That could be kinda cool...or extremely stupid. Not really sure haha.

Someone at riot needs to see this.

Absolutely not. 60 seconds is all you need in a late game teamfight to win the game. Imagine graves spewing out autos without reloading =_=

Honestly, I don't really get why ADC items in general haven't been changed to guns, ammo boxes/quivers, things like bandoleers as defensive purchases pointed to what an ADC might want.

It's just strange that almost all ADC offensive items are SWORDS. IE, BT, ER, Anything Zeal except RFC, all of them are swords. They get Daggers and Longswords, Cloaks and Gloves, all as offensive purchase items. What, are they loading up that Rifle with em? An art/stylistic change for a lot of ADC items would go a long way to making them more reasonable. And before you complain about how melees would look using things like BT and Zeals, think about how few use them compared to how many ADCs do. You don't even have to modify it much, you could even just have Ranged/Melee artworks for a lot of items that adapt based on if you are classified as ranged or melee. It would cause confusion for all of 5-10 games, then it would be back to normal.

Things like swords could be changed to guns, dagger into ammo piles, Brawler's Gloves and Cloak of Agility into laser pointers/scopes. B.F. Sword into B.F. Gun. Dynamic artwork that changes based on a simple stat check (Ranged or no) means things just make more sense in the context of the champion.

The items aren't literally items, they are mementos of power distilled from the original item in case of legendaries and mythics, or just granted symbolically in case of the basic items.

You aren't really buying the Blade of the Ruined King, you're essentially buying an enchantment to whatever you're wearing that grants you a small porton of the Blade's Power. Same with all the other items

A true Arteest does not 'buy' a better gun. A true Arteest builds one.

I assume Jinx just naturally doesn't give a shit about shooting swords since she doesn't care about the ammunition thing.

i think it would be interesting to be able to buy one extra ammo slot. so graves' shotgun could hold 3 bullets instead of 2 or something? that's really the only thing stopping me from playing graves, i hate the ammo system right now and ammo champs are frustrating to play.

Puts a limit on already limited champions. Losing all of your ammo and not being able to fight an enemy would feel like a horrible game mechanic.

Technically he does. If you die and return to base as Corki, you load up on rockets.

You already shot with item 3031 what else you want?

What if champs with guns had their gun as an item, like Viktor, and they could buy upgrades for it? Like, Cait could buy range(lol), Graves can buy another shot, and Jhin can buy.... idk I haven't played him yet

Varus' bow as an item... Hmm, that would go a long way to putting him back into meta as long as it would give him ad instead of ALL THE FUCKING CRIT CHANCE ITEMS THAT HE DOESNT SCALE WITH! Seriously riot, don't base a role around the majority, make more items that allow more champs to be played , and in more than one or two build paths that actually work

Would be a good kit for an adc. like an adc version of Viktor . shop has a few items for sale, a minigun (AS), rifle (range), rocket launcher (dmg). maybe a good rework for jinx?
