Idea to buff Berserker's Greaves

Crispy0Snake·Jun 30, 2018·6 votes·2,110 views

The item "Berserker's Greaves" isn't living up to it's name because if you go in with the current Berzerker Greaves, you get destroyed more often than not, for the gold value it would be better if they offered more survivability so an ADC can go in, take less damage, lifesteal in the fight and come out ahead if they are ahead, if they're behind, they should be killed if they try to do the same thing. So I propose:

Give 8 Armour and 8 MR or 8% lifesteal

and:

Reduce attack speed to 25%

A lot more ADC's would buy them

Idk man would 8% lifesteal really make any difference when you die in 1 second?

The armor/mr seems better.

It just needs a passive like the other boots have...

###Random Suggestion

UNIQUE - Passive: Attacking an enemy grants 3% Lifesteal and 3% Attack Speed, stacking up to 3 times. Switching to a different target resets this Passive.

Probably a really bad suggestion but that's the only thing that comes to mind.

This is good but yi probably is going to break it. Making ranged only will be perfect

Yeah, I can came to dispise Master Yi as a champion. Lately any kind of change buffs him indirectly. The fact that he has Rageblade Passive in his kit (Passive) and then buys Rageblade on top of that. Rediculous.

Making it ranged only would be quite unfair towards melee champions who use these boots (Yasuo, and etc...). I wouldn't personally mind it but I also see how this could be a bad choice.

Other melee are arledy building other option like merc for magic resist or tabis for duelling power.

that sounds broken af the item would be over 160% gold efficient

further more, if anything the item should be renamed not transformed into a semi bruiser item

It loses 250 gold with the attack speed change

8 armour is 160 Gold and 8 MR is 144 Gold so it gains 54 Gold in value with resist

8% lifesteal is worth 300 gold, and so the item gains 50 Gold in value with the lifesteal option

These changes result in a gain of ~4.7% gold efficiency

Edit: I doubt any bruiser would buy these over the tenacity and 25 MR that Merc treads give or the 12% damage reduction from autos and 20 armour from Ninja tabi, they'd be wasting gold on attack speed that they don't need

Also renaming the item won't make it a good choice to buy

Eh. Most boots give one stat and then some passive you can't buy off a basic item, making Berserkers the odd one out as it's just boots with some attack speed.

I'd be for giving it lifesteal (8% might be a bit a much, I'd rather lowball and start at like 5%) and changing the name to something more appropriate to a marksman. Berserker screams champions like Olaf and other melee folk. Maybe Hunter's Greaves or something?

Come on now...

How is 8 armor gonna help you ?

8 armor means nothing to a Zed, Talon, Yasuo, Yi.

Just like 8 MR means nothing to a Zoe, Leblanc etc.
