Allow ranged champions to buy Sterak’s Gage but...

only if they have over 2000 HP. This will allow champions like Gnar and Urgot to build Sterak’s because they naturally build health items and can be more tanky.

ADC champions won’t be able to buy it because their HP is too low to buy it unless they buy other defensive items.

Few few season back adc's went thru a mad bad time, Riot had a item mandreds blood razor. if you built it on a adc "it was a bruiser item" bruisers could not touch your adc late game, those days patches took weeks, months, 2 weeks later the item was removed.

:edit those were fun days, after that match with ashe played by a utter noob on 280 ping every adc was buying Boots>mandreds>ie GG

No, let it stay melee only, these 2 shitheads already destroyed enough bruiser items

Can you imagine Jhin with it tho? His base attack damage is pretty nasty. 50% of that becomes bonus AD, which then gets multiplied by Whisper and scales up all of his abilities. Jhin could hit 2000 HP at level 14 with just a Ruby Crystal, or earlier depending on his runes. As a late-game buy, it could get pretty spicy.

Yeah it would be a mess up but i'm sure riot has code for items per champ balancing to fix smaller hickups that need attention. However adc's are not meant to be like beta where they could be anything they wanted, just like any other champion.

It would make them way too tanky, and riot would never allow this.

No.

To easily abused. Ranged champions need to be able to be shutdown and there are items in the game to keep them alive already [ guardian angel, edge of night]

Your request would be overkill.

It gives you a chance to prevent shutdowns; therefore I disagree.

  • That is potentially alot of gold you are not giving to the enemy team to attempt to catch back up with.

does not work when you are surrounded and trust me they will surround you.

it completely lacks damage and you are mocked by your own for building it early.

You would have to bump the restriction up to 3000 health, if not more, as many ADCs either get 2000 health just through base health, or through buying a Black Cleaver.

Alternatively, just make Urgot count as a melee champion. Black Cleaver and Frozen Mallet sucks on him anyway as he only gets half the MS and half the slow.

Also, you are able to buy Sterak's on Gnar. It just only triggers when he's in Mega Form.

ADCs get to 2000 HP no problem.
