Why Remove Zephyr???

It was the perfect 6th item to get after selling boots! Plus it gave a nice mix of stats that adc's could do well with!

Even if it wasn't bought as half as much as say, a game that Literally EVERY adc has to buy item 3031 item 3031 item 3031 item 3031 item 3031 It still had it's niche

some champions also liked the 10% ms item 3070 Udyr item 3070

Overall, bad move rito. Bad move

Aatrox Udyr XinZhao. Yes, let's forget about them because ADC's won't build the item. Stupid logic.

Give it back!!!! It's like Riot forgot that Aatrox players exist. I NEED THAT ITEM!!

Is it a coincidence that it provided Tenacity?

lolipopevelynn2/4/2016, 5:06:13 AM1 votes

it was removed because it made certain champs too strong. Irelia Udyr XinZhao Warwick Trundle Volibear just to name a few.

and with their anti tenacity campaign this season there choices were to get rid of the tenacity from the item entirely, making it useless, or remove the item itself entirely.

Sorry for the necro, but I just came back to this game today and I got zephyr as 3rd item on ashe after IE and I was GREAT with it with movement speed quints. Kite all day long. Damn :( Is there any replacement to this ?

yeah any day i dont have a 600 move speed Udyr running at my face ill take it...

same reason t3 boots were removed.. some champs are just stupid op with too much movespeed.

you want movespeed now? go get cloud drag... they probably wont contest it anyways..

No one ever used it except for Trick2G and his bandwagon of wannabes. Not saying Trick ain't good, he's a god amongst men that's for sure, but he was one person using one item that served no other purpose.

IT just wasn't all that great. It was bought not because it was a good item, but because it was a replacement for boots. When an item is only bought by one person in all of the League of Legends often and on the rest, it's just a boots replacer, that means it's just not all too useful.

It won't be missed. At all. lol.

I think it might because when Zephyr's good then there's no point in having boots a good amount of the time.

Zephyr shall be missed by this devout Udyr main item 3070

I used to build Aatrox first item item 3172 but when adc items got 80ad over several items spike with increased life steal and defensive items were nerfed several times this year. even with having a spare life i couldnt stay in lane and survive and when i rarely could i pooped as soon as i met a 2 item adc from bot lane when you go mid to help push

I agree. I don't even understand why there are items at all.

Why not have a "manual calibration" option, so that instead of buying items, you simply buy AP/AD/CD/MR/AR according to the base gold value that each skill is worth.

If the items themselves are mispriced (overvalued), then this is an advantage to buy an item, but there should still be an option to just increase the skill level per the amount that your current gold can buy.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Not sure if necro or not but... I really miss the zephyr, I could just pop on some movespeed quints and when i had the zephyr built i'd be uncatchable. The days of glory shall be missed.
