Dark seal and the Energized changes
Can we buff the Dark Seal
and revert the changes to Energized items?
For those of you who don't know Dark Seal eventually builds into the current Mejai's
. I really want to love this item as a frequent player of caster types (Swain and Vel'koz in particular), but it's high risk for such low stats. Doran's keeps you in lane and with better income (the mana regen on minion kills rewards you for farming) and is far safer. Essentially the item wants you to snowball, but doesn't give you adequate ways of doing so vs the Doran's Ring counterpart.
The "Energized"
item changes came about when Statik Shiv was extra strong at beginning of the preseason. Basically, they changed it so that if you had two items with the energized type ability (say Statik Shiv
+ Rapidfire cannon
) that both abilities go off, but it only takes the damage from the highest source.
I actually really dislike this change because it takes away a whole build path. Before this change it was possible to opt into a charge up build that allowed you to energize then run into a lane and burst someone (including assassins and any other form of ad burster). So, for example on Rengar you could ultimate, run to your opponent, make the leap and on contact your two items would go off adding an extra 300ish magic damage.
I thought the point was to help diversify our choices. I thought this was a really cool build path, and a great alternative to Infinity Edge.
Are there any plans on looking at these items?
