QoL Suggestion: Avarice Blade
I've noticed recently that I'm actively avoiding upgrading to a Statikk Shiv while I'm dead. Why? Because GP10 from Avarice Blade is still active before I respawn, but a Shiv (or any other Avarice Blade upgrade, for that matter) has no such passive benefit. So rather than immediately reevaluating my items and planning my next move into the field, I sit there waiting for my death timer to hit 0 and then start that respawn process as I'm walking out of the fountain, all so I can maximize the amount of gold I get out of Avarice Blade. A big deal? Not really. But it is a bit of an inconvenience.
So, suggestion! When you upgrade Avarice Blade, you gain a buff that grants you the same GP10 passive. The duration of the buff is equal to your death timer at the time of upgrade. This would mean a 0 second buff while you're alive. This maintains all of the current benefits and balances of Avarice Blade and its upgrades, without requiring players to min/max these items through the shop interface.
I believe implementation would be mostly straightforward, and such a change would fall in line with Riot's "Fight other players, don't fight the game" philosophy. The only aspect I would expect to be any level of challenging would be making sure it functions properly with the Undo functionality in the shop.
Thoughts?
but granted extra gold on kill rather then health back :p
