Why does QSS only build into 1 thing?

Why is item 3137 not available in Summoner's Rift? Or at least another item that could make QSS actually useful?

The active is so good that you shouldn't always have an ideal end item to build it into. Otherwise you would see 5 qss's on every team every game.

Janna item 3139

pretty sure if it did build into a legitimate item for everybody we would even see supports take it due to it being a free cleanse, I think Mercurial should be the only item to have it due to it being a free Cleanse with a nice movement speed buff on it too.

It's better than cleanse, with the amount of bs it removes.

I wouldn't call it a "free" cleanse, though.

Not to mention that making an AP version would be a pretty heavy (if indirect) Malzahar nerf. Right now if a midlaner wants to screw over Malz they at least need to waste money and an item slot doing it, imagine what would happen to his winrate if the thing was actually slot efficient and gave desirable stats.

Not to mention QSS on top of Hourglass would be a little dumb.

At least make an AP version. Hell, even nerf it if it proves too much.

it's different, not strictly better, though it does the job in most situations.

You can't use zhonya if you're stunned.

You can't use zhonya if you're stunned.

u cant go untargetable and invulnerable but unable to take any action for 2.5 seconds with quick silver sash

You can't take damage if you're Zhonya'd.

Honestly, item 3140 should have a Tank Item added into the game, maybe add Tenacity as well (We need more Tenacity variety because only three items offer it, one being a Potion and another offering mostly damage) but make it hella expensive because QSS and Tenacity together'd be insane.

Because otherwise Riot would have to buff Cleanse. QSS is already better than Cleanse.

they should make QSS for AP users playing vs Malzahar

Why would Dervish blade be better than Merc?

Maybe you are a champ that doesn't use attack damage?

item 3001 item 3102 item 3065 Only one has something remotely close to QSS, but they generally get the job done.

Merc. scimitar is strong enough, qss didn't build into anything at all back in the day. Merc.s gives everything you need against mages.

item 3140 would be intressting for fighter tho.

Would be awesome if it would build into an ap version of it, pretty useful for casters.

Jalkan1 votes

item 3140 is already useful. Mages have Zhonya's, and bruisers and tanks don't need a QSS.

I think a full MR Tank item from it would be pretty cool.

Maybe item 3140 + item 1057

70 MR

Quicksilver Active as it is, without MS (Unlike the Scimitar) 25% Tenacity, not stacking with Mercs

Just as an MR option, opening up for Mobi boots, Tabi, Swiftness, or Lucidity

because it has the potential to be an amazing item, so they limit who it's viable on. just imagine a tank version of QSS. no one wants that
