Abyssal mask magic damage radius

Morgana Deus··2 votes·1,430 views

Can we get a buff to the radius on Abyssal mask? It's honestly an amazing item, but the size of the radius is so small that its uses are pretty limited. I'd love to be able to build it on more champions.

If I'm against a comp that has a lot of sustained magic damage I sometimes build it on Morgana. The Hp and higher magic resist than Banshees seems better to me. Plus, once your basic abilities do more than 600 damage it is a stronger overall damage item than a 100 AP item in the same slot. (Do the math to verify, this is based upon Morgana's 90% ap Q ratio.)

If the radius could be doubled then medium range ap champions could build this item more often. Right now the only mage that builds it fairly often is Veigar. The damage calculations for him with the item are fairly insane, and he's rather short range. I'd like to also see it be more practical on characters like Morgana (She has to be close for ult) and Ryze.

I really do think it's an undervalued item.

Its range was reduced to accomidate for mages building it and getting decent AP and tank stats.

They designed it with tanks in mind, not most mages.

There's a reason why its range is small. It's so mages that aren't battle mages or tanks don't abuse it.

Ryze was one of those champions that made riot nerf its range

Ryze currently has a 44% win rate. I don't think he's abusing anything.

Because of competitive. Riot gave up with balancing him for casual play years ago.

Ryze in pro play rushed Abyssal and tear against AP laners and still output respectable damage thanks to his low cool downs and the Abyssal passive.

Veigar doesn't build it, sometimes I get Abyssal Mask just to get some MR because of all of the other items are absolute crap or I just dislike them (Banshee's against assassins is useless, Spirit Visage can be an option but I don't really like it even though it has synergy with Ravenous Hunter and Taste of Blood, you can't use Adaptive Helm effectively because you have to be consistently damaged by somebody).
