Zhonyha's nerf

amightyk··1 votes·1,114 views

I feel like almost every ap mage puts zhonya's into their build every game. I feel like zhonya's should get nerfed so its more of a situational item and less of a must have since stop watch is also an item. I feel like the dmg from zhonyas should be nerfed from 70 to 45 or 50, I also feel the cdr should be removed from the item so it isn't up every fight, since there are multiple mage items that give cdr ludens, cdr boots,. BUt keep everything else the same. I think this way zhonyas wont just be used by every mage and they will have to give up dmg for the utility of the item. I think zhonya's potential to turns team fights speaks for itself. But if the item is more defensive and less offensive people may prioritize dmg over the item. I also think this may help assassins a bit since most ap items are very strong.

Guess why mages build that more often in the first place? Because your beloved face roll assassins and their ridiculous cheese damage infested every possible lane and aspect of this game. And on top of them not receiving appropriate nerfs while being top soloque picks,you suggest to help them even more by nerfing one of the last possible ways for mages to deal with this shit? You can't be serious

That's not why, even AP assassins build it every game. The reason it's built every game is because this game is focused around teamfights, and you NEED the zhonya's passive to survive in almost every teamfight because everyone will gang up on one person at the same time and you'll be dead before you know it. Zhonya's allows you to make the enemy waste important cooldowns and gives you a reprieve from the fight long enough for your team to mess them up after they wasted their cooldowns trying to kill you. It's just too good of a disruption tool to ignore. That said it doesn't need to change imo, but I would love to not have to build Zhonya's every game. This is why I feel more defensive options are needed(or reverts. Riot please revert Banshee's, GA, Abyssal Mask and Athene's!)

I miss when everyone built at least ONE FULL DEFENSIVE ITEM.

It has been nerfed multiple times already. It used to gave a lot more AP but no CDR; the boards are still complaining about the face it was nerfed even though it was nerfed for exactly the reason you described. Every mage under the sun bought it, whether they needed it or not.

Actually the current version of Zhonyas is way better than the 120 AP Zhonyas that costed 3400 because it locked the the Stasis on a huge paywall and now you can not only buy the active faster since it's cheaper, you can even have a use of Stasis before even completing the already cheap item.

However, I disagree with OP and I dont think that Zhonyas needs any nerf.

No.

Zhonyas is a strong item but it should not change.

Neither should be buffed or more AP-Armor items should be released like others said on the Boards a time ago.

Alright ya know wut you guys make a fair argument how about at least nerf the active cdr then. Don't change the item at all but make the cdr on the active worst.
