Call for discusion - Executioner's calling - make a support item that builds out of it - worth ?
Today's meta has a lot of sustaining champions and heals coming in from supports.
because of that there is value for a support player to pick up a grievous wounds item.
right now the options are
and
.
picking up
is really nice on AA-focused or tank supports. for AA focused supports
has more synergy with their general play style than
. for tanks,
is a cheap item and is a minimal compromise for a mid game build compared to the expensive mage item
. Also tanks and supports have a tendency to blow skills early in fights as either an engage or a reaction to one, and
allows the application of grievous wounds early on rather than as a kill secure measure.
is a nice item for supports that allows for a different item path and a different set of supporting tools than the usual. The problem with
is that it does not develop into any high tier item that fits the support champions well.
for AAing supports, 50 AD is a big blessing that has synergy with
. However, since the damage output is still relatively weak, the armor penetration passive is somewhat of a waste; Although it can be good since you're expected to attack the person jumping your carry and that person can easily be a tank. for tank supports, an item with some defensive stats on it will fit much better, and allow them to compensate in the late game for their early game investment.
I think there is a room to make 2 more development items out of
, both aimed towards the support role. One, an AA focused item with AD on it and a flashy offensive active that replaces the armor pen from last whisper, and a second one with some tank stats and also a nice, flashy active.
Thoughts?
are fairly strong items and you would be missing out on some of them.
as an early buy and affect a snowball by the power of countering an opponent's basic mechanics. and can stay in your inventory right until it's time to go late game...
, if sustaining tanks really are an issue in the game.
