Randuins Omen Rework

4/7 PBE Update

Unique active has been changed and now reads: "UNIQUE Active: Slows the movement speed of nearby enemy units by 35% and afflicts them with Cold Steel's debuff for 3 seconds. For each enemy champion slowed, gain 15% attack speed for 6 seconds (60 second cooldown)." Changed: Slow duration increased to 3 seconds from 2 seconds New Effect: "For Each Enemy champion slowed, gain 15% attack speed for 6 seconds" New Effect: "afflicts them with Cold steel's debuff for 3 seconds" Removed Effect: "+1 second per 200 armor and +1 second per 200 magic resist"

Seems very... different. I see al ot of uses. Certainly a good purchase on champions like XinZhao Nocturne and Vi who can utilize the attack speed, and even tanks like Nautilus and Malphite could see alot of use out of this. I see it being an amazing combo with the new Black Cleaver (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/8V3YcXOb-black-cleaver-reworked) on Darius and Gnar

I wonder what Riot's reasoning is behind this change. I certainly wasn't expecting it. Hopefully we can get some context. What do you guys think?

How so? I'm not seeing how this hits them in any special way.

Kalista and Jinx attack so fast right now that they chunk a good amount of people that get to them. Plus overwhelming adc kiting and bruisers that just can't really reach them.

Righteous Glory and this help with that.

I'm not still not seeing how this change affects them at all. Like, I get that Randuin's is a good anti-ADC item, but this change didn't really do anything to change that. It will give the attack speed slow on the active, but that slow was already on the passive and both Kalista (particularly hurricane Kalista) and Jinx could have already been hitting you to activate the attack speed slow (and Jinx is the ADC most likely to be outside of the Randuin's active range anyway). I'd almost venture a guess that they'll be hurt less by this Randuin's change than any other AD carries. The attack speed you get from the active now doesn't really do anything special against them either.

I still don't see how this change does anything special to either Kalista or Jinx.

Before those two, who are glass cannon adcs with good range (At least Jinx, i can't remember the OP one Kalista. I would have guessed Quinn. I heard some people bought omen's as Quinn and had good results. Now would be even better with her.

You get Righteous glory that basically combines a movement speed boost with the burst slow, that's basically stepping on Randuin's toes.

So their trying to make Randuins feel unique again by giving it an AS buff based on how many champs it hits. Sounds good for Bruiser Auto attackers, especially if they can get into combat easily. (hi Jax)
