Do they not realize that mana return and skill spam synergize? Shojin will be useless with no mana. lol

No. Its not an items for adc. This item will be used on Riven & Renekton, they have no mana. Then as second to third item for item 3078 users. Even Wukong will be able to build it after item 3142 item 3147

That is NOT the Spear of Shojin....... Riot needs to just pull the band aid and revert the game to S5

Lucian does not build crit OR current ER, just black cleaver and botrk.

Oh hey, nothing is going to change with the current Essence Reaver users, they’ll just pick up Spear and everything will stay the same

The champions that actually buy current ER right now either use no mana or dont care about the mana part of it (Jax, Riven, Renekton)

Yi can build it but he doesnt really need to, he already shreds with botrk and rageblade.

That's not why he builds it. He builds it for untargetability/confusion/chasing slippery dashy dash Ezreal Lucian /1v5ing and getting lucky and dodging every cc cuz u pressed Q 5 times in 3 seconds.

Why are these changes necessary?

Holy hell this makes Essence Reaver even shittier than before...how is that POSSIBLE?

That update makes it a B A D item.

This just looks like shitter version of the previous essense reaver iteration, Cost 3400 STATS: +70 attack damage and +20% critical strike chance. UNIQUE PASSIVE: +10% cooldown reduction. UNIQUE PASSIVE: Gain 0% − 20% (based on critical strike chance) additional cooldown reduction. This bonus does not include the critical strike chance given by this item. UNIQUE PASSIVE: Critical strikes restore 3% of your maximum mana.

It is good to see it being reverted though I missed this item on ashe and xayah the few times I've played them since it was murdered changed. Edit: "Placeholder name" would be funny if they didn't change it before going live.

My ravenous hunter rune still says @PlayerChampF9@ for the enemy mid laner, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Ah so its the mid laner that gets that name, i've gotten it a few times on aram myself and could never find a pattern when it would show up. But riots a small indi company .

I have a question where's this new spear item i couldn't build it today and new essence reaver is trash

Deathrow141 votes

First of all essence reaver is great for adc....I use it on my xayah and sivir...got penta with xayah cuz of it...and im actually quite interested in shojin too....planning to use it on one of my adcs and I'll figure out which one...the problem with you guys is because you are stuck in meta only without thinking of other possibilities

I like how Riot has effectively killed the support role, and still hasn't even addressed the issue.
