For those of us who are not long term veterans, you may not have known about Leagues referral program. It has since been discontinued, but there were some very sizable rewards for getting a certain number of referrals. For instance one of the rewards for 1000 referrals ( those were different times where this was a lot) you could get an item in the game named after you (Or something to this effect, I cant quite remember exactly what it had said). These items are still in the game. Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation, then changed to Total Biscuit of Everlasting Will, is named after the late TotalBiscuit (John Bain). These items represent an old community, the foundation for the player base league has. Ohmwrecker is one of these items and should not be removed. Ohmwrecker (aka the Masked Gamer), as a reward for gaining over 1000 referrals. The item needs to stay, it just needs to be changed.

They said they're finding another place to put the name for this exact reason.

it needs to not have shit stats. in an already shitty meta where top defensive items are considered shit who can spare a slot for ohm wrecker? I still go it last items when im going my item 3512 ingenious hunter build but no one ever follows up on it because damage carries take forever to follow up on front line engages and position themselves wholly too far to get to doing damage when the engage comes out.

Just rename the Demolish rune into Ohmwrecker. Done.

Honestly Riot has never even attempted to make this item viable

They changed the pathing once and tweaked things like 50-100 HP, 10 AP, 100 Gold off the cost. Instead of addressing fundamental issues that make the item hard to buy and not fit in even as a situational item, they just took the "Lets give it insignificant tweaks and hope it works" route. Ohmwrecker has needed a rework for a while.

Ohmwrecker = item 2053 +item 2420 + 800 gold

50 armor 150% hp regen 5% movement speed

unique passive: makes the user untargetable for 3 seconds upon entering the range of a turret. While under a turret Fatal Blow activates making your next ability or auto attack empowered and deals 100-250 (based on level)+(.01%AP+.1%AD)+ (10% missing enemy HP) additional damage to target enemy champion. cooldown 120 seconds.

900+600=1500 gold+ 800 gold = 2300 gold

basically a diver's version of duskblade.

sort of dumb that they can't rework it.

Should have it’s active moved to a cheaper item like a 1000-1500g so it can be used earlier when it actually matters. Has potential but right now it’s not something people have a reason to pick up early because of its cost and how far that puts them behind in gold. And later on they have no reason to pick it up because of the shitty stats and turrets being less effective as the game goes on. Otherwise it has great potential on some champs early on but the cost is just too high and rules it out of the entire game. Why get that instead of zhonyas? Why get that instead of ga? Etc

I actually built Ohmwrecker on Morgana the other day. So good for when your ADC won't stop pushing and you have to somehow get the kill under the turret.

ive been playing 2 years and i have no idea what its activation even looks like

Yeah it should stay, not many named items are used tbh (apart from Sterak's gage)

It's pretty obvious they don't care, sadly. And maybe it's better this way, this deathmatch game is totally different from the old League.

how about an mr version of iceborn gauntlet, with mana so mundo has to think about it before abusing

If they changed ohmwrecker to a damage item instead of tank item people would actually buy it. the problem with it now is that tanks cant make much out of a towerdive. now assassins, mages, adcs, and everyone else can. so just change it into a damage item so people will buy it.

riot never made an effort to make the item balanced or interesting, so it makes sense why they removed it. The name Ohmwrecker should be added as a different item though

I'd suggest

Ohmwrecker

UNIQUE Active: Resonance: Bind yourself to a target ally (120 second cooldown)

UNIQUE Passive: Discord: When either you or your bound ally take damage from a turret, you and your bound ally discharge an effect that disables near enemy towers for 2 seconds, resetting those towers damage ramp up and aggression. (120 second cooldown)

And as a little added perk, have it also affect fountain turret as well. If you wanna waste it on tower dives for style points, then do it. NBD.

Basically put it in the same category as Knight's Vow and Zeke's Convergence. Then have it build off Aegis of the Legion and Raptor Cloak.

I doubt Ohmwrecker/Masked Gamer cares he's been done with the game for so long.

Ohmwrecker and Zzrot will be used elsewhere in the game, as both of them were reward names (zz just came much later as one of the last few they hadn't done at the time)
