Warden itemisation, this needs to change

CoolKnightST··3 votes·554 views

Some time ago riot release this dev blog. Where Wardens are highlighted as defensive tanks. This looks promising but more than just a name is all we got. Why don't have to get a fancy rework all of a sudden but come on. Can't we even get some small item changes. Wardens are in a terrible spot right now. Armor itemisation is an nightmare and tank supports are in the worse state they where ever been.

I would like to suggest some changes:

#item 3082 Warden's Mail

  • UNIQUE Aura: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 10% (200 range).
  • UNIQUE Passive: If you are hit by a basic attack, the aura is aplied for 1 second.

#item 3110 Frozen Heart

  • UNIQUE Aura: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 15% (800 range).
  • UNIQUE Passive: If damage is aplied to you outside the aura range, the aura is aplied for 1 second.

#item 3143 Randuin's Omen

  • UNIQUE Aura: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 10% (200 range).
  • UNIQUE Passive: If you are hit by a basic attack, the aura is aplied for 1 second.

#New Item

  • Recipe: item 3024 + item 3801 + 750 (=2400)
  • Stats: 300 Health, 300 Mana, 30 Armor, 10% Cooldown Reduction
  • Unique Passive: Gain +5 Armor for every nearby ally champion.

Thoughts?

I like it, but we have so many armor items, how about an MR HP item.

We have banner and locket.

You mean support items? Those aren't MR HP tank items.

They technically are. But we also have visage and banshee.

Though I wish cowl was cheaper and banshee gave more health.

We actually have a decent amount of mr/hp item. All less situational than armor in that regard:

  • item 3190 item 3060 item 3102 item 3065

If we need one it will probally be something like item 3028 + item 3067

Half of those are support items, Try this: item 1011 + item 1057. 60 MR, 400 HP, passive: take 10% less damage from abilities.

This would prevent omen and heart from stacking slows.

And I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Randuin's identity was always be a little bit strange in that regard. This would also allow us to buff the attackspeed slow from frozen heart even further.
