RIP Banner of Command

RookPusher··1 votes·906 views

I've loved this item for so long, through all the people shitting on me for taking it. despite no teammate ever understanding they should not draw attention to it, and now this:

Enhanced minions are highly resistant to magic and physical damage rather than entirely immune to magic damage only.

> Banner of Command has emerged as an item that can effectively pin a mid laner at their wave. With how much gameplay revolves around wave control and roaming, Banner of Command does too much to shut that play down entirely.. > REMOVEDCOOLDOWN REDUCTION 10% > REMOVEDMAGIC IMMUNITY No longer grants the affected minion 100% immunity to magic damage > NEWDAMAGE REDUCTION Now grants the affected minion 70% damage reduction from champions > NEWHULK OUT Banner-enhanced minions now appear as slightly larger minions on the minimap > NEWHULK SMASH Allies can now see floating combat numbers for the damage dealt by banner minions > UPDATEDS-BRUCE-D UP Tooltip rewritten to more accurately reflect Banner's effects

I could cry. You're going to highlight it on the map? The massive wave didn't already draw attention? How exactly is this item going to matter anymore? Can you at least reduce the cost of the portal? I'm beside myself with anger.

I mean, if the giant wave forming didn't warn them then this wont make a difference. if they lost a tower because they didn't notice it, then they probably deserved it tbh.

I hope you're right, but it means the bar for map awareness countering BOC is lower. If you glance and think the team fight is more important then I might have pulled it off. Now you know it's not just a wave, it's a wave that will rip through a tower.

It's fucked imo

I mean its purpose as an item is to assist in a split push. the entire point of splitpushing is to pressure another objective elsewhere, because it forces someone to go farm out the wave, creating favorable odd numbered fights.

so it shouldn't be to much different even if they can see it or not.
