Riot nerfs Athenes

Done.

Honestly, in hindsight, Athene's should've stayed at 15% or even be reduced to 10% back then.

When it helped to alleviate both forms of restriction (mana and CD), Ziggs and co. dominated the midlane.

ModWulf Helhammer2 votes

Not anymore, mana regen is better than it was in preseason (had to buy both morrello's and athene's to even have enough mana to fight most of the time), but it's not close to what it was in Season 4, where buying Athene's was basically the same as becoming resourceless

Riot has to think about their Brand image

Wouldn't mind that. It needs just that little nudge, especially considering how few tank items have CDR.

I think it would be interesting to give trinity force 5% cooldown, its a small change, currently cdr is the only stat it doesn't give.

Give it to Rageblade because reasons.

I want a 5% cdr item. Just. Might sound crazy, but you have no idea how many times I've capped at 35% on non ap champs or whenever I take item 3158 and it makes me explode.

ok drop morello cdr to 15%

Terchio1 votes

Morello is likely next thing that loses Grievous Wounds. Hard to say where it will land after it does, but since it's almost always been a pure AP/Mana Regen/CDR item, I highly doubt it's going to lose such a core stat (maybe Athene's, since its focus is Mana Regen, and yet for some reason has MR lapped on top).

ShatoSummoner1 votes

Athene's has mr on it because its always had the exact same build path, and is often considered the defensive choice between morello's and itself (especially now after the mana regen nerfs).

it'd be nice if we could have 1 ad, 1 ap and 1 tanky 15%cdr item

Kaokentake1 votes

to fix this riot should just make all CDR per level quints / blues free

and also make new rune pages free . or allow you to do runes ON THE SPOT in game

its possible to get the perfect amount of CDR from your runes. but the rune system is so annoying

ModWulf Helhammer1 votes

Not to sound rude, but why? There are other items that give more CDR, many of which already synergize well with the champions that want to build them

It would allow people to reach 40% CDR without giving up on MR Glyphs or buying lucidity boots.

yeah, probably.

I can get 40 CDR on Riven by having 5% CDR from masteries, Lucidity boots, and then BC. I can get close or over (depending on how I build) on Naut with Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, and 5% CDR masteries (last item can be any number of tanky items that have CDR) It already is possible with no IP spent on CDR runes. Would it be easier with them? Yes, and that's exactly the point of runes

LordGeovanni12 votes

not every one wants lucidity boots why should it be the only 15% cdr in the game

ModWulf Helhammer1 votes

plenty of champs want Lucidity boots. Top lane AD casters that use their spells a lot (I.E. Riven and GP) like the CDR, and they don't typically build tanky until later in the game.

I am pretty sure that Riven would like to take item 3111 if possible due to allowing her to survive one of her biggest weakness (crowd control) better.

But she is forced to go item 3158 because she just can't give up the cooldown reduction.

Jingerbeardman2 votes

you are not forced to build lucidity boots... heck you dont have to build CDR on riven at all if you dont want to. It is just your opinion that you have to build them. So i would not go as far as to say she is forced.

In fact, you aren't forced to build CDR on Riven. Just like you aren't forced to build AD, or to build armor penetration on Riven.

However, CDR is a stat that is so good for Riven, that she can't pass it up at all. The only two stats that she needs more are AD and armor penetration. CDR just allows her to do so many things, such as escaping, combo-ing, and will be a lot more necessary now that her ult's cooldown has been nerfed. Also, since Riven has no resources to spend, CDR works more well on her than compared to many other champions.

But it's one of those items that applies for all. Regardless of your class, lucidity is a viable choice. If they move it to AP, AD and tanky champs would want an equivalent.

LordGeovanni1 votes

it can but in boots where people want to have flexibility many people are unhappy with the limited amount of boots already

The point isn't "I don't want to spend IP on CDR". The point is "I don't want to give up something else in my glyphs for CDR", just like they don't want to give up other boot stats. I often get Lucidity Boots on mages to hit 40% but the absence of magic pen from Sorcs is really felt, for example. And I wouldn't want to give up MR for CDR per level runes, particularly as I'd like to hit 40% CDR well before level 18 if possible.

Did you forget about blue buff?

Legends tell of a jungler who gives away blue buff.

But hey, Aatrox needs it more than Zilean I guess.

God forbid you will have to choose between max cdr or max ap/mpen...

Anu3isII1 votes

Maybe an Frost Queen's Claim or Essence Reaver with 15% CDR would work , but for the roles outside of bottom lane , I will build Lucidly boots when I need to rush CDR .

Ok, but it has to give flat ad. Gives ad casters a chance for cdr, enough ability power items with cdr already exist.

The only AP carry items with CDR are item 3165 item 3174 item 3152. 95% of the time, you can only buy one of those. AD casters can easily get both item 3071 and item 3142, and they don't miss out on anything essential like item 3020 by buying item 3158.

You forgot: item 3115 , item 3025 , item 3023 ,

also boots are a bad comparison, because there is no ad equivalent to item 3020 . If there was, I'm sure ad casters would prioritize the armor pen boots over item 3158 .

Nashor's and Iceborn aren't inherently AP Carry items, though. Nashor's is a niche item that synergizes well only with Teemo, Kayle and Azir (may be others but I can't remember atm). Iceborn is more of a bruiser item or something that Ez likes to build sometimes. Twin Shadows is underrated as an item, that's for sure, but you have to give up something else for it (Void, Zhonya's, Luden's, etc)

They are specific and situational carry items.

item 3115 can be core on : Diana , Azir , Kayle , Teemo , but viable on other champs as well.

The same applies for item 3071 and item 3142 . So the comparison is void in the aspect of comparing ap vs ad carry items that give cdr.

I think the problem alot of people fall into when playing ap champs fall into is the too many choices dilemma. Because ap itemization is so strong right now, they think they cant afford to sacrifice one of the meta items for something that offers cdr. The reality is that you can't have everything, you have to make decisions about what your build needs based on the situation. Ad champs have to make the same decisions, but have many less choices than ap champs.

For example a full mage build can look something like this: item 3174 item 3020 item 3285 item 3089 item 3157 item 3100

But there's so much more you can do. If you need more cc to chain spells: item 3116 , tankiness: item 3027 , scaling mana and ap :item 3040 , magic pen and dot: item 3151 , enemy has too much heath or just too tanky: item 3165, enemy vayne or rengar killing your team: item 3023 , need turret pushing power with a reliable slow: item 3025 , need spell vamp for extended fights: item 3152 or item 3146 , have a lot of magic damage on your team or the enemy team: item 3001, etc. Basically, you got plenty of choices but you can't have all of them, so choose which. Same applies to a new cdr item, even if it gives ap, it would still have to take the spot of one of these "core" meta items.

Axis the Dragon1 votes

I suppose. I don't disagree with having more non-AP and non-tank CDR items, though, that's a given.

I have wished many times for something 15 cdr besides the boots. BUT, plenty of good stuff has 10. What kind of crappy item would we be forced to pick up for the 15? I think most of the time, it would be better to find more in runes or pick up the boots instead of sacrificing a spot that can be a lot more kick butt than boots.

WolfBV1 votes

Like, a new CDR item that doesn't have mana region attached to the ap would be k.

FantasySniper1 votes

What about items that give 5% CDR?

Riot made that suggestion forever ago when talking about how stupidly abundant CDR is for the support role, and I wouldn't mind having something like item 3151 get 5% CDR, or having other items getting knocked down 5% just to fit this niche.
