Ohmwrecker is fucking garbage.
Ohmwrecker has been changed so many times for so many seasons and it's still useless. Can we rework/remove it already or are people going to keep claiming it's a niche item and let it stay in its current state?

Bring back Zypher, it was used more than ohmwrecker ever has been.
Leave the stats alone - increase the final build cost. Trading functional utility for base stats, allowing this item to serve a role without merely driving tank meta.
- Unique Passive - Fortification: Allied Turrets in Range recieve 6/5 health regeneration and gain 50 Armor
(Giving benefit to support and tank classes, and ceases the idea you are merely ignored while the enemy kills the tower in mid game - overrides Hemerdinger passive.)
- Unique Active - Siege: Target Enemy Tower gains 100 damage, but loses 50% Armor and Magic Resist.
(Forces the towers to begin to fall much faster when the Ohmwrecker begins to hit the field. However ends the concept of both removing tower while tower diving in mid game. Late game this allows your tank to do what they already do - simply tank the tower while the team destroys it, but this will also punish said tank severely for doing so.)
why would i buy an item for stopping turrets when turrets are worthless anyways?
I'm pretty sure if it gave 50 MR instead of armor the item would become a lot more popular.
They should make Ohmwrecker a stupid item.
UNIQUE Active - Pisa Maker: Spawn a turret at the target location (with all the properties of a turret) that lasts for 10 seconds. (3 minute cooldown)
I'd build the shit out of it if it did this.
There was a thread not too long ago about an idea for a change to Ohmwrecker: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/EguRs7BA-what-if-ohmwrecker-interacted-with-various-structures-not-just-towers
The writer suggests allowing Ohmwrecker to open the base gates to both teams temporarily which I think could open up from very interesting plays...
Rito, please give us a reason to build
I forgot that item even existed.
I really hope that it gets removed or changed in the tank class update.
I just kind of feel for the item in general.
I've never built it, but I want it to be happy and to have a place.
Fucking ZZ'rot has the same point runner passive.
It'd be cool if it was an expensive item instead of a really cheap one. Once most of the towers are gone it's a pretty petty item.
No tank wants an item to fill up an item slot that doesn't even have big stats on it like the current Ohmwrecker.
The item defeats it's own purpose
The tank stats allow to tank turrets for long enough that you don't need the active, so you might just as well get one of the other tank items which give other benefits like being more tanky with randuins or having damage with sunfire etc
And then beyond that it gets progressively more useless as the game progresses
And with the current weak turrets it's even more useless
The stats are nice enough, but you would almost always want a different item first, and then after that the active is useless you why even buy it if you can get something more useful.
The active needs to be replaced
One idea is to make it a champion centered aoe effect much like randuins which deals a little bit of damage and grounds people or something like that it could still shut down towers for a short time or force them to attack the user
Ohmwrecker should double as fortify and be able to be cast on allied turrets. That allow it to keep its niche, but actually be worth something.
WHAT IF it could also affect dragons and baron? This would be quite useful for takings quick objectives
It has been named after a player, so it can't be removed.
Make it's CDR 20%
if we make its active global then it might be worth something, like setting up for your teammate to turret dive across the map.
or are people going to keep claiming it's a niche item and let it stay in its current state?
Yes.
ye
Pretty sure Riot already stated that they plan to remove it as they simply can't find a solution for it that feels satisfying. They however plan to reuse the name for another item they might create in the future in that case, as it sounds really cool.
You know something is garbage when even Junkyard Trundle doesn't want it
It's funny how Riot removed Athma because "no one buys it", but Omhwrecker is still there, and I have only seen it twice in four years of playing.
It's a good item on a team with voice communication. But for most solo que players, it's hard to use the item effectively.
i suggested making it take turret aggro (from someone else) and taking reduced damage from turrets for the duration as opposed to shutting them down.
Only time i see it built is when udyr is strong and trick uses it to solo turrets
I'm now tempted to run this on Bard to keep the enemy turrets out of the picture for ages.
-Ohmwrecker +Zephyr
but he is a funny youtuber.
It's an atrocious item.
Buff the stats a slight bit (10 more armor, 50 more health), lower the cost a slight bit (100 less gold than current) and it will be perfectly fine.
