This starting item isn't healthy for this game, especially when it empowers certain champions like irelia, and some others....

Your thought?

PS: I'm prepared to be downvoted

Should be removed. Provides an uninteractive, unfun experience for the enemy lamer where a weak early is remedied far too easily.

It should be removed. Literally a free laning phase for the likes of kassadin and fizz who are meant to get shit on early but noep this item just sustains it through all.

So much comments :O.

Btw, even with time warp tonic nerf. Corrupting potion can maintain lane pressure for nearly 36 seconds. It's huge in a game, especially when you can recharge every time they come back to base.

Agreed While it doesn't give the best early but , it surely becomes cancerous after the first recall .

you do realize they nerfed it pretty damn hard this patch right?

https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-822-notes Potion and biscuit regen is front-loaded but no longer extended. No longer affects elixirs.

We like having a rune that alters the way you think about consumables, but Time Warp Tonic's added so much extra sustain to mid and top laners (via Corrupting Potion) that it's become near-mandatory for scaling champs. It also boosts the strength of Biscuit Delivery so much that the two runes are almost always picked together, effectively eliminating a choice in Inspiration rune setups. Front-loaded—rather than extended—regen moves Tonic out of lane attrition (keep yourself topped off for longer) into combat utility (pop a potion for a small heal).

PS: No one really caught onto this, but three minutes of +5% movement speed was kind of bonkers. We're removing Tonic's interaction with elixirs before it becomes a major abuse case.

NEW CHUGGING Consuming a potion or biscuit grants 50% of its health and/or mana restoration immediately but prevents that consumable from being used again until the effect ends. Health/mana per tick is then reduced by half for the effect's regular duration.

REMOVED SIPPING Potions, biscuits, and elixirs no longer last 20% longer

SUGAR RUSH You still gain 5% movement speed while under the effect of a potion or biscuit

REMOVED BOTTLE SERVICE Time Warp Tonic no longer affects elixirs

I think it's a fine item. Doesn't really do much but give some sustain and very little mana regen with 3 charges. It's like a slightly better refillable. If you wanna complain about corrupting then you gotta complain about refillable as well. I guess tbf I'm a little biased here, it makes one of my favourite mid lane champions playable TwistedFate and all it does is give him the sustain he needs against a burst heavy meta. I know why it's cancerous to go against an Irelia (though as it seems she's the only one who has a direct benefit from this for taking it mid-lane as opposed to top) who starts corrupting pot but it's certainly not a game breaking item. Especially with the recent time-warp tonic nerf.
