Lethal tempo kinda.... redundant and subpar

Hammermancer·Apr 6, 2018·2 votes·520 views

Can't think of a single champion where lethal tempo is actually better than press the attack, simply because if you get those autos off then it's better to get the damage quicker than get more autos quicker

Lethal tempo needs to be further distinguished

There might be an argument for.... kogmaw, but still it's more useful for him to just got PTA these days, actually every single champion that lethal tempo is good is vastly outscaled by press the attack

hell even the troll picks like vayne, lulu, teemo, orianna

Even on-hit varus

Only thing i can think of it being viable is with a five man attack speed buff comp on coms willing to just put their entire team into buffing one on-hit champion with lots of range

maybe the attack speed can proc instantly, or maybe the cap breaker can just basically be passive, maybe add an on-hit element based on attack speed?

LT is picked over PTA on multiple champs even in pro games. It's better on Varus, Kog'maw and Kalista. Ideally you want to use some sort of long-ranged poke before you start attacking.

on-hit Yi likes it, because he readily caps his attack speed, so being able to destroy the cap gives him more value than the 12% damage amp.

Better than conqueror?

Given that I've managed to hit 3.5ish AS, I'd say so. Breaking the AS cap gets roughly 40% DPS increase, far more than conqueror offers, especially because part of his damage is already true.

That said, if you're not going hardcore AS on-hit build ( item 1419 item 3153 item 3091 item 3124 ), conqueror's probably better. Potentially even PTA because you don't want to wait the 4 seconds and don't think you can prep it before a fight.

I think it should just give double your current ATK speed once procced but the thing is the delay on it. You attack once, enemy backs off and wastes your keystone. Yeah they should just bring back Fervor of Battle.

What about an attack speed ramp? So for instance: "Gain 10% attack speed upon auto attacking a champion. Over the next x second(s) this attack speed ramps up to x and persists for x seconds" (Ex: Over the next 1.5 seconds this attack speed ramps up to 80% and persists for 6 seconds.)
