[Gameplay] Zhonya's Hourglass Item Active

StarFreq··1 votes·1,065 views

So With The Recent Nerfs To Zhonyas, It Took A Big Knock Back For People Getting The Item Just For The Item's Stats, Rather Than The Item's Active. However, Upon Trying To Use It For Roughly 100 Games In A Row, There Seems To Be A Huge Issue With The Item And It's Active... Since They Removed The Stats On It, You Should Be Allowed To Use Zhonya's Item Active Instantly For Some Crazy Clutch Plays... The Issue Is, While Being CC'd, You Can't Activate Your Zhonya's During The Most Crucial Times, When It Needs To Active. I Would Love To See A Small Rework With This Item, To Make It More Like Tryndamere's Ult, Where The Item Active Works Instantly, Rather Than Under Certain Conditions.

IMO, Zhonya's Is Pretty Much Useless In Its Current State, Just Because In The Time You Need The Item Active The Most, It Doesn't Work... Even If You Spam The Button's Item Active In That Big Team Fight When They Have CC, You'll Just Die While Still Having Your Unused Zhonya's Active. I'd Like To See Some Changes To It's Item Active, So That People Can Actually Do Some Clutch Plays, And Give This Item Some Actual Usability! Currently, I'd Say That I Can Only Active The Item About 40% Of The Time, If That, While Being In Team Fights, Especially When The Enemy Team Has Major CC, The Odds Are A Lot Lower For Using The Item Successfully. The Item Just Simply Isn't Reliable... Doesn't Matter If You Have 2.5 Seconds Of Invulnerability, If You Can Never Become Invulnerable In The First Place, All Due To CC! >.<

Why Do You Type Like This? Also, no. Zhonya's is fine. You should be using Zhonya's to block that CC to begin with. A literal invulnerability button needs to have some way to be placed around.

Symbolic Purposes...

If You're On The Front Line Soaking Up The Damage, It's A Bit Hard To Use The Item When Everyone Is Focusing You...

Was Looking At Those Exact Picks Actually... Lol They Both Have Potential For Top And Mid, Having Zhonyas Availability At All Times Would Come In For Some Major Game Changing Plays.

It already is very powerful on them more than most because of the type of champs they are, especially vlad who can use it while in POOL as is, so i don't see a reason why this validates doing so. Zhonyas is already gamechanging active as is.

Yeah I Agree That It's A Game Changing Active, If You Can Actually Activate It In The Time Of Need... Lol Once CC'd, It Doesn't Matter If You Have Zhonyas, You Can't Use It Whatsoever! After You Get Any Form Of CC Applied To You, It's Like You Don't Even Have The Item. Literally A Waste Of Gold IMO, If The Enemy Team Has A Lot Of CC Potential!

Then dont get CC'd. If you are getting CC'd and killed before you can you it, you are being outplayed.

Okay now if you are gonna say this kind of shit, at leats dont lie. The only CC that I am aware actually prevents you front doing so are Silences, Stuns, Fears, Disarms taunt and Displacements.

You are perfectly capable of using ti when you are Snared, Slowed or even nearsighted, etc.

If You Are Stunned The Item Active Is Also Disabled... Just Had It Happen To Me Again In A Game I Just Played. Was In The Middle Of A Team Fight, Spammed The Button While Slightly Above Half Health, With It Never Activating... Stunning Is What I'm Referring To For CC, It's The Only Hard CC That I'm Referring To, Since Most Meta Champs Have It. I'm Just Going To Buy Some Other Item, Because It's Absolutely Useless Whenever It's Really Needed. Buying Some Other Item That'll Keep Me Alive, Because Zhonyas Never Seems To Work Out When Those Huge Team Fights Break Out...

U don't fkin say.

I suggest you actually read the post next time , not "glance" at it if that can even be attributed to what you did. i never claimed that being stunned doesn't block the command for the active. I said just the opposite.

Rather have the active removed, but be buffed back to it's original stats before the mage 'update'.
