An honest question, are you trying to fade brutalizer from existence?

First of all riot, thank you for not going through with the warrior changes on the PBE, that would be sucked. But why even consider removing ANOTHER one of brutalizer's build paths? brutalizer already only has 2 effectively useless paths...

Warrior : Useless if you are not a jungler and not worth giving up any utility from soothing like smite or tp

Ghostblade : Sub-par on any champion who isn't going to be auto-attacking frequently and worse if none of you're casted abilities can crit. Becomes almost 100% irrelevant late game. If this item had just a little more Ad it would be somewhat worth it imo.

I know it may be hard to balance, but could you please provide at least 1 item for brutalizer than laners can build and not be irrelevant late game or sacrifice a ton of AD to achieve? At the moment I love building brutizlier for the early power, but having to sell it late game really delays my build a ton, but at the same time not buying it means I'm sacrificing a lot of early power with the already limited AD choices we have.

Pls show some love to brutalizer rito

It's not like it gives +20 Armor penetration with damage, cooldown reduction, and crit on top of a 40% as and 20% movement speed boost active that's only on a 45 second cooldown.

Maybe if Brutalizer wasn't already such a strong/versatile item on its own, it would be easier for it to build into things.

I thought it would be fun if it could be combined with Chalice, though. Mostly to give mana-hungry ADs a little something if they're not too interested in Tear.


Etherspring Blade

The Brutalizer (1337) + Chalice of Harmony (900) + 563 = 2800

+40 Attack Damage +25 Magic Resist +10% Cooldown Reduction +100% Base Mana Regen

Unique Passive: +15 Armor Penetration Unique Passive - Mana Font: Restores 2% of your Missing Mana every 5 seconds.


Not useful for Riven or Rengar at all, but Brutalizer by itself is fairly strong on them as is.
