Quick question on Ohmwrecker viability

LordDarkhan·Jan 12, 2016·3 votes·433 views

I'm sure there's a very good reason that I can't think of offhand for why this hasn't already been considered and promptly vetoed, but why isn't Ohmwrecker a tanky-jungler item upgrade--even with Stalker's Blade, Skirmisher's Saber, and Tracker's Knife? It could upgrade Smite to Ohmwrecking Smite (or whatever) that disables a turret for a few seconds. It would be good for junglers who want to dive and make a crazy play, or for lanes who intend to mindlessly push.

Now, I'm certain there are very good reasons this hasn't been done. But I'd like someone who's better at the game than me to tell me why.

honestly i get it sometimes only on nasus when i have a 10% cde gap to get to the cap. and want some armor and health but generally you'd want better items.

same thing goes for zz rot portal, they are good item but generally other items are better. Bu t I don use the rot portal somewhat often because it is a good way to kill towers.

I honestly feel that they should give it some more desirable tank stats, make it more cost effective and change the active

Active - Aggressive presence - Use on enemy turret, will instantly make the turret target you and gives 20% damage reduction from that tower for 6 seconds

Gets the same job done without being so jarring, and still allows the tower to be alive and working

It honestly would be a to powerfull active that can be optained with little cost early in the game. You could basicall get acces to it on your first back as jungler, and after that you could gank any lane you want as the tower won't help them... imagin your opponent just coming in from behind your tower and don't giving a fuck as early as lvl 4...

That's kind of the point. It would be an upgrade for when your lanes are all pushing, but kind of useless if they're pushed. And it's not like you get to ignore the tower, it only turns it off for a couple seconds.
