@Riot will Trinity Force be looked at in the pre season?
So.... I feel that, as an item
has lost its identity as the triple stat mega machine we used to know.
For those who weren't around for it,
was adjusted with the marksman rework to fit the needs of said class.
Its ap was removed, base ad and movespeed nerfed which were very valuable on hybrid champs like irelia, jax, kog maw and kha/hec to an extent.
In exchange, more appealing stats for marksman being mana and crit were buffed while cdr.... which was limited in option variety for marksman was added.
Sure most ap champs don't buy it. But that ap removal hurt so many semi-hybrids who either built ad with decent ap scaling (kog) or built full hybrid (kayle jax)
.
Then we saw another change that broke several champs. A substantial buff to cdr and atk speed smashed irelia, jax and hec back into the meta which cost the the same crit (in an effort to discourage yas from using it) they had buffed at the cost of ap
When it was a triple threat, it covered ap/mana, ad/as and hp/ms. Now it's duo force and is verging on monoforce. Ad, as, ms, hp, mana and cdr. It's just a bulk of AD caster centric stats with AS thrown in there.
Ezreal is probably the only champ who's remained relatively unscathed while synergising with it greater than anyone. Sure luc uses it, but he made good use of that crit and now uses crit or apen more often than
.
.
My solution? Allot of changes. Firstly stat adjustments; NERFS Attack speed reduced to 20% from 40%** CDR reduced to 10% from 20% Mana reduced to 200 from 250 ^^
BUFFS Added 10% crit** Added 25 AP ^^ Movement speed increased to 8%
. As you can tell, allot of these are reverts. I chose not to alter values too much to be safe. Why is it practically a revert? Because that's what it'll take to have this triple threat return And in order to achieve these values certain items will need changes and so will the item recipe.
will make its return, replacing
and return to its rightful place.
To explain how the stats from zeal change when
is made: the crit is reduced and attack speed increased in exchange. The movement speed increase is your reward for completing
.
and
: obviously with the addition of AP the cost of both items will increase but not by too much since mana was nerfed.
This sheen cost increase will allow flexibility in the final combined cost of
. Enabling its 333 cost to remain intact.
. I feel these changes will not only make it stronger on its original users; susan, kogy, jax, hec, irelia, udyr, nid, perhaps morde? Idk and gangplank. But will also widen its usability on champs with these low but abundant AP scalings that perhaps would never have built it before.
Just my two cents lads, all feedback is welcome
