I think the big problem with zekes is that it is not really a tank item, not really a support item, and not really a damage item. More health would help it be more of a tank item, but it would need to be 500ish i think. Getting rid of the health and giving it ad would be nice too. Ir giving it more utility for supports

The ridiculous 20% cdr would definitely be a good thing to go; I hate buying it most games because it puts me over the cdr cap, making me feel like I've wasted gold.

And how this would change anything? It would still not be an efficient item for anyone

Zeke need a bigger change, paired with Locket

Check this out and wrote in that thread what you think about

I like it. The combine cost on Zeke's (800) is far too high for what you get. And the 20% CDR is problematic: since it will probably be built by a support champion, the chances of going over the CDR cap is likely.

Zeke's is a decent item in ARAM if your team is >60% AD (or has 2 ADC), but the CDR inefficiency, coupled with the high combine cost, makes an already under-utilized item even less desirable.

I would really like to see zees turn into a more bruiser/support item than a straight support item, and this is a step in that direction. If it were a viable option for a top or jungler, along the lines of how locket and aegis are both supportive, but still viable on bruisers. If Zekes base stats where more slot efficient I would also like that more, because right now it just doesn't give much, aura or not.

How about: item 3050 new recipe item 3801 + item 3067 + item 1053 +650 gold, total cost 2900 gold. Stats: +400 hp +50% base hp regen +10% cdr. Unique aura (this really should have a name): nearby allies gain 15 AD and 10% lifesteal (1100 range). Gold efficiency if no nearby allies, 2655. Gold efficiency gained for each nearby ally: 1090.

Basically, this would be a supportive sustain item for a bruiser that is only worth buying once team fights start, since its stats (which are all great for solo laning) would be oppressive except for the relative inefficiency until near an ally.
