Hexdrinker does not need any AD to be good

All credit goes to FalconPawwwwnch but this really seems like a solid change to the item.

Hexdrinker is currently a commonly built item by AD champs and builds into maw.

BUt why does Hex Drinker need to have any AD at all?

It would be bough if it gave 40 MR and the passive shield it currently has for something like 900 gold total building out of only a Null-magic mantal.

It would be comparable to Warden's mail as an MR item.

Yes this means zed has to actually counter build to contend with an enemy mage for a little while early to mid game without getting some boosted AD for rushing hexdrinker.

It could then be used to build into Maw and Wit's end which might make Wit's end something for more champs to actually consider getting.

Yes the MR shred is the reason why some champs who like on hit and attack speed will not get wit's end and the lack of it ever showing up outside of a select small group of champs like shyvana, WW or udyr once in a while suggests this item is in a really bad place. Stop trying to save this item for a really small group of champs who have enough magic damage to justify the MR shred.

Sure but can we make seekers not give AP either? If we are gonna make the only good Ad mr item just an mr item we should make seekers just give a ton of armor.

Only if it gets a hourglass like active. Are you sure you are read for that?

That would be fine but are you ready for a large gold increase to go with that?

You mean around 1500 with a base 30 armor + 1 for every creep killed while having it maxing out at 45 total armor?

Yes

Yes

It would probably end up being about 1650 to 1700 since riot values that active at about 950 gold. But that would be fine if I could have zhonyas active for less than half the cost.

You're being dumb, hexdrinker without lifegrip is fine as an item, it's just lifegrip passive that's making it overbearing. If only they would remove it.

Or am I trying to bring life into an item that is basically dead with all of this?
