Sunfire and Thornmail.

#Hey Boards

You know how there's ... item 3082 ...this thing? It slows attackers Attack Speed when they attack you, regardless of how far they are away.

It builds into two items:

  • item 3143 Randuin's Omen, which is simply a better version with the same basic passive, and ...
  • item 3110 Frozen Heart, which was probably designed to overcome the stubborn, skilled players that refuse to focus a tank :D

So what other items do we have with similar effects? One that affects attackers and one that affects people too stubborn to attack you? Maybe through damage? Stares at you like Dora

Exactly!

  • item 3068 Sunfire Cape, and ...
  • item 3075 Thornmail !

So why not make them build out of one item as well?

Here's my suggestion:

(NEW) Cinder Gown

  • Recipe: Cloth Armor + Cloth Armor + 350 Gold = 950 Gold
    • 35 Armor
  • UNIQUE Passive: Upon being hit by a basic attack, deals 24 magic damage over 2 seconds to the attacker.

This builds into Sunfire Cape and Thornmail. Thornmail's passive would still remain the same, since you're buying it to counter fed Marksmen.

If I could suggest a picture: A small shoulder cape made of Autumn leaves.
An alternative name would be Cinder Plates. It would look like Thornmail's shoulder plates, but I don't like that idea as much as the cape made of leaves.

This isn't really needed IMO. They both need chainmail as it is.

Agreed. This just isn't really that necessary. Wit's End/Essence Reaver on the other hand...

Sunfire and Thornmail have different effects...one damages the enemies that are close, the other give back damage upon basic attacks , why they should both build from the same item?

Uh ... but I explained it D:

Maybe is not clear. Randuin and FH have EXACTLY the same effect on AS (the difference is the way they triggers it), that's why they build out from the same item Sunfire and Thornmail DOES NOT have the same effect. That's why they aren't supposed to come out from an item that has a third different effect from both Sunfire and Thornmail

Aka let's make Cinder another S4 Chalice? Buy it then sell it late game cause upgrade isn't that good compared to other items you could be buying?

The only problem with thornmail (and sunfire aura) is that it is mitigated by lifesteal and magic resistance.

Sunfire is what you buy for a tank to deal some damage. Thornmail is just a ball of stats that isn't really effective until you have 3k HP for it to be nearly effective.

Your item would affect ranged champions attacking the wielder. Sunfire doesn't, it only works in a close range.
