kogs previous 5.0 atkspd buff would work well on a melee fist oriented champ

lolipopevelynn·May 26, 2017·2 votes·239 views

after watching the D3 monk in both D3 and in HoTs and looking at how his way of the hundred fists works, it would actually work if riot salvages old reworked kogs 5.0 atkspeed on a melee champion. being that the champion would be melee it shouldnt be nearly as problematic. the rest of the champs kit would have to be mobile or have some hard CC to take advantage of all that atkspeed tho(perhaps moving while atking like the monk in HoTS does).

well bork needs a rework anyway, if not outright replaced by something else. Lucian wouldnt be so strong atm if it wasnt for botrk

wouldn't matter anyways, if they reworked it... it would prob end up far more broken than now anyways

they would have to get rid of most on hit items if they didn't want another 5.0 kog massacre

isnt that MasterYi niche? Doesn't he already gain 80% attack speed? It will be overly redundant on other melee champion

He doesn't break the AS Cap when he gets 80% AS. He only gets 2.5 like everyone else.

maybe but doubling the cap point is to make someone that hit really fast. That is master Yi niche, is not exactly the same ability but is the same principle and functionality.

any melee adc champion "hits really fast", that is how they function as a melee adc. Aatrox Jax Warwick Tryndamere XinZhao . hitting really fast as a melee is not a master yi only niche. the point here is too make a melee adc that can break the normal cap of 2.5.

You are wrong thou..... Aatrox niche is a drain tank. That is his niche, and that is the theme they go with even if the gameplay had to be nerfed significantly. Warwick niche is that he always can chase you down and catch you. Tryndamere niche is that he doesn't die even if you kill him due to be voracious XinZhao niche is sigle target lockdown, he is probably one that has a more competitive niche since Vi does the same. Vi does it faster but xin is tankier. Jax niche is mixed melee single target dps. Shy is the equivalent but AoE.

master Yi niche is I'm going to go fast and I'm going to strike you fast. True there are a lot of champions that have as steroids and can attack similarly fast but none of them feels the same. And breaking an AS cap usually woudl go a speedster champion, steeping on his niche.

it doesnt matter what their niche is lol, they all stack attack speed... as a matter of fact, jax and ww have higher atk speed steroid than yi ult, and ww in particular can go much faster at the cost of being able to get slowed, which doesnt matter much since his ult is a huge gap closer anyway. xin is prob the only real exception as he doesnt need a ton of it, but he still has it in his kit.

It would never work unless they made it not apply on-hit effects. Which would be silly.

I think it was fine as it gave him a chance

No, because you would need to be stationary and melee, which is pretty garbage.

TrashballMay 27, 20171 votes

for a melee champion to make proper use out of 5.0 aspd, they would need to have a stationary target (rooted or stunned), or their kit would need enough mobility to reposition slightly 5 times per second (I guess they could potentially implement that as a weird sort of passive lunge-on-autoattack effect, which would probably make them way too sticky).

it's definitely an interesting idea though...
