Put (melee only) in Dead Man's Plate name

Pengod·Sep 22, 2015·51 votes·4,097 views

One thing I noticed today was that Dead Man's plate only works on melee. Perhaps we could have it labeled like Ravenous and Titanic to say (melee only) in the name, as oppose to at the end of the 2nd passive

Realistically, the second passive is what's only available to melees. Not the whole effect. It Might be misleading to label the whole item as melee only.

That, and there are a few Hybrid champions like Elise, Jayce, and Gnar. Where Riot would want to preserve their more unique interactions with Dead Man's plate. So I doubt that functionality would change.

agreed this isnt a melee only item as the speed buff applies still.

Then the 2nd passive should say Melee Only.

UNIQUE – CRUSHING BLOW: Basic attacks discharge all Momentum, dealing +1 on-hit physical damage for every 2 Momentum discharged. If 100 stacks are discharged, damage is doubled to +100 and Slow icon slows its target by 75%, decaying over 1 second (Crushing Blow is melee only).

Don't ask Riot to make sense, it never did any good to anyone.

item 1026 + item 1058 + item 1052 = item 3089 fuck logic

Obviously the pickaxe forms the curve of the bow and you attach the sword to your arrows

but that implies I am not allowed to buy it on Vlad, even though it is like the greatest 6th item ever on him...(seriously its like perma ghost since you don't auto attack)

Captain AishiSep 22, 20153 votes

ranged champions autoattacking don't lose the movespeed as far as i know so it's also an amazing boots replacement for ADCs late game

LittleBlastSep 22, 20152 votes

They do loose the movespeed sadly

item 3031 item 3087 item 3046 Only a very few niche melee can use these items effectively. I would almost consider them Ranged Only.

I've literally never seen a crit xin zhao. All the others, yeah but I've never seen a xin build any crit besides Trinity Force/Youmuus

AnidanSep 22, 20151 votes

I've seen ADC Xin before. It's only a thing when he's really far ahead for the most part, but it's most certainly something I've seen before. Back in my day you'd see those kinds of shenanigans all the time.

Garen can build IE as well. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1950130249/217750770?tab=overview

Well anyone can use it for the movement speed. But why not read the last two words on item 3742 (melee only)

JoliSep 22, 20151 votes

We all know we need clear bold highlighted 200 font text to grab our attention.

MongooseSep 22, 20152 votes

but it does work for ranged

at least the scaling movespeed does

Gunslinger744Sep 22, 20152 votes

It's not melee only.

Snow TaradienSep 22, 20151 votes

The second passive still works on Ranged, it just doesn't have the full charge expended thing.

VekknaSep 22, 20151 votes

The only thing ranged don't get is the slow on AA. Everything else works.

Need Gold 4 TentSep 22, 20151 votes

Wait, ranged ADC don't lose the momentum on attack? I mean, I know it doesn't slow but the MS stays while they're autoing? That's actually a pretty good passive to have.

Edit: YOU GET MF PASSIVE, EVERYONE GETS MF PASSIVE!

I'm bot opposed to this, but the purpose of the item seems pretty obvuous i.e. Garen, Darius, Naut, Shyv, etc. It's not an item I'd build on Quinn or Teemo for example.
