Stormrazor should be buffed and made ranged only! It is a noob trap for melees anyway.

Also: what's the point of an item like Stormrazor if it's this mediocre despite its whopping 3100 price tag?

Why not make it more worthwhile but also ranged only? No one will ever use it aside from marksmen and annoying ranged solo laners, and right now they have no reason to buy it first or even second, maybe third if they feel like it. It's got a real Ionic Spark feel to it right now, you know what I mean?

If melee champions want a slow they buy Frozen Mallet, Randuin's, Righteous Glory and DMP. They really don't need another source, and DMP and Randuin's are hard to beat in terms of sheer value. Even if Stormrazor was decent on melees, they would much rather buy a real damage item like BC or Shojin, or just buy their melee-only items instead. There is no point for leaving it as a melee item - melees have plenty of items to choose from already that absolutely trump this iteration of Stormrazor.

Melee champions already have two melee-only items (technically four, considering Tiamat's upgrades) in item 3077 and item 3053. Let ranged champions finally have a second one as well in item 3095. Make it actually worth buying to boot!

Maybe don't buff the slow though lol. Just buff its other stats a little and make it Ranged Only. Please and thank you!

Sincerely, A melee main that would like to try out botlane marksmen sometime without picking the same three over and over; you know the ones

its an interesting concept of an item but over all it makes no sense now. plus its too expensive for its mediocre effects. recent pbe changes to energize also make me question what riots intentions are? seems like they don't know what they are doing with the energized effect? do they want it in the game? or not? why buff it then nerf it even harder next upcoming patch?

They made Infinity Edge be a real item, and no longer a noob trap. Now they make Stormrazor a noob trap, and no longer a real item. Like I get the idea behind it, but when they make items that are dependent on outside mechanics to be worth their weight in gold, it blows ass.

Unless it affects that specific interaction or remove attack speed from it I don't see him not buying it, especially for the inbuilt slow on energized attacks.

Edit: Also that's a wind empowered katana... it would be strange not have him equipped with it xD

The new Stormrazor is meant to be bought third or fourth, after Rapid Firecannon and Statikk Shiv. It has a hefty price tag, but it empowers the combination of items to be greater than the sum of its parts. Add Fleet Footwork to get even more synergy. It doesn't need to be made ranged-only in order to be buffed. If you get the set, that energized attack will be so overloaded, you'll make Yasuo look like he has a shallow kit.

An extra chunk of damage + extreme range + chain lightning + a slow + movement speed + healing, all increased by 30% thanks to Stormrazor.

If you're looking for a botlane marksman with a non-traditional build, try Ezreal or Kai'Sa.

Oh, I thought you meant picking the same three items, not champions.

Lucian is still dominating, but I'm sure he's the third of the ones you're talking about.

Jhin is amazing, but I'm biased, since he's my favorite.

Sivir, Twitch, Jinx, Vayne, Draven. Lots of marksman are doing well this patch. Not sure why you think there's only three marksman in the game.

its point is to be a late game item now for people like cait and trist that go RFC and shiv, though the base stats on the item need to be reverted to how they were
