Idea on Sterak's Gage
Hi to everyone. I am writing this this post to express my thoughts on Sterak's Gage
It would be a good idea to get buffed, since it got hit with the nerfhammer for the sake of classes that should not pick it. e.x. Kindred jungle, Graves jungle, Quinn jungle and so on because it boosted their survivability a lot and also their damage by a smaller margin, and in essence gave them survivability that they shouldn't have.
So.... Lets get to the hot topic after a brief explanation. The buff i am suggesting is to boost the baseline heal mechanics that are build in to champions so it gives them a boost to survivability once the shield procs. e.x. Yorick's baseline heal on q, Illaoi's tentacles, Darius' q. Also by increasing the gold cost would make more inaccessible to classes other than Juggernauts or Divers, by a smaller margin, and would solidify its identity as a high attack damage protection item in general when combined with some armor items like Randuin's Omen. This way it would bring it on parallelism with the updated Maw of Malmortius for patch 6.22. Also this would help in an another way to solve the problem of some Juggernauts abusing Death's Dance as a core healing item in conjunction with Spirit Visage, not that it wont be abused but it would reduce the abusing of the item and give a more clearer path to protect yourself from heavy attack damage.
Sterak's would look like this:
+ 400 Health + 25% Base Attack Damage
UNIQUE Passive - Lifeline: Upon taking at least 400 - 1800 damage (based on level) within five seconds, gain a rapidly decaying Shield for 30% of your maximum Health for 8 seconds (60 seconds cooldown).
Sterak's Fury: When Lifeline triggers, grow in size and strength, gaining +25% additional Base Attack Damage and amplification on baseline healing spells by 8% - 12%.
This would also help general and overall game health by encouraging Juggernauts, which are the most champions with build in heals, avoid stacking too many Resistances and add more gameplay and depth to the game.
Fell free to express your thought's and ideas on the topic. HF and GL.
