Title, too lazy to argue. Don't start with "it's to counter poke comps", no, engaging, fucking up, leaving for 15seconds and being full hp when the enemy lost 3/4 of his hp isn't "countering"

Reminder that Morello is also still allowed in ARAM. Reminder that ARAM accounts are still allowed in ARAM. Reminder that Sona, Veigar, and Zoe are still allowed in ARAM.

Youre mad that you cant poke the living shit out of the melee champs and win that way amIright? Yeah I'm sure a team with mostly melee champs is going to "fuck" their engage up considering they HAVE to in order to get some of the cc abilities wasted on them so their team can follow up safely, ESPECIALLY when theres more than 1-2 poke champs including ADCs.

"Don't start with the its a counter to poke comps." because that IS what it is, it is literally one of two ONLY counters to poke comps (the other being snowball).

Reminder that ARAM is inherently not balanced well, and front line champs would have to play in the back line without their passive sustain.

It's just as broken in regular games on a few champs as well. Zac Sejuani

Considering you can press B and heal up in regular games I wouldn't say it's as strong in a normal game as it is on ARAM.

That said "broken" carries a different weight, and Warmog's is anything but broken.

Being able to dash in for a trade, screw up massively, and then dash back out to be full health in a manner of ten seconds isn't exactly healthy game design.

Though honestly THIS is the most infuriating thing in the game Soraka item 3083

Marksmen heal faster than anyone using a Warmog's, so unless that is also not healthy game design I don't really see why Warmog's is broken.

Soraka should break Warmog's passive with her heal though, so I'll give you that one in particular.

Lifesteal at the moment is actually pretty broken in general, yes. Sustain is the current meta and it's very frustrating to play against.

Completely agree. People are whining about adcs and ad based assassins in the JG and I think that lifesteal is the root of the problem. Those bursters are supposed to be squishy, not more sustain than a tank. AP and tanks are struggling to keep up with it.

By the time you can get warmogs and have the hp to empower the passive (without completely skipping other stats/items you need) the item isn't nearly as powerful as you might expect...

i always get it second item on tanks

they even gave it CDR to make it a better mid-game option

Okay and?

15 seconds LUL. 8 seconds to get the passive effect rolling. another 3 to get max HP. I build this item constantly because its so good lol.

ARAM has so many problems. This is not high on the list.

And thank you Riot that it is. Warmog is a necessary part of ARAM so that it isn't just "who got the strongest poke wins" gamemode.

RatpieJan 18, 20181 votes

It is very good, but I think a needed balance in the insanity that is ARAM. If not for the sustain, tanks cannot keep up with the damage. Right now, tanks are still getting mowed down in ARAM before warmog even has a chance to get back anything. I might be more with you in previous seasons where I could go Maokai or Mundo tank and be unkillable (for a while there in S6 and S7 they really were that strong). And no, I do not think it is a counter to poke champs, cause the real threats are just adcs with massive sustain, not the long range pokers.
