Elixir of Worth

Come late game everyone tries to delay fighting until they can spend the gold they are sitting on. this has the effect of stretching out games even more. On the other hand anytime you spend all your gold and have nearly 0 change left over you're eager to fight.

An Elixir of Worth could help with this. You could only buy it once per game maybe twice. If you have 1250 gold in your inventory and can't spend it you buy the elixir and it will hold you over long enough to complete the item on your next back.

this elixir would refund the gold you spent on it

I also want to talk about Cassiopeia new update with having no boots. Not needing boots will essentially give her 1 extra slot to work on her 5th item. having 1 additional slot to work with helps with building two items simultaneously or sitting on one item for a longer period of time (like a doran ring for example) I wouldn't be surprised in fact if Cassiopeia can play an entire 40 min game with a doran ring. Not to mention space to buy pink wards more often.

Example: item 3070 item 3191 item 3001 item 3113 item 1011 item 3158 If I want to complete these items. with boots i'm capped at 6 items the only way to complete an item is if I get a large sum of gold. Example if you want to buy item 3003 as your next item that is 2350 gold to wait for. Cass won't have nearly as much difficulty by being able to use the slot boots takes over to complete items.

while this is not that big of a deal on a carry since they are not particularly in need of a mix of equipment. Bruisers on the other hand usually want dual resistance hp and damage all at once. This is particularly hard to fit in simultaneously without having a full inventory and finding yourself wih over 1.3k gold left over to spend.

having an elixir like this could make these moment more manageable

I didn't do the math of 5% dmg increase + reduction. Just want something that would fit any champion and needs to be worth 1.3k gold flat at like the cost effecientcy of say item 1011. even if its 3%/3% its still better than nothing at all. Even a support may want to use this to buy a pink ward.

Sorry, but it's a bad idea, the game doesn't need more damage multipliers, and there is no reason not to get this item if it gives your money back.

Initially that's why I wrote that you could only buy it once so you would choose when you think its best while building.

the other idea would be to give it to everyone if they leave shop with gold in the bank prior to finishing 6th item. that way you wouldn't be troubled to buy it.

You earned the gold you should be able to spend it. 3% won't be what breaks the camels back. And its not like its in one direction like only offensive or defensive. If you insist maybe the % could only be on base values only. so it doesn't stack with IE rabadons etc.

It doesn't have to give % maybe other stats that are generic and suit everyone.

There is a lot of scaling in terms of damage but very little in the way of damage reduction.

your thingy says 5%, but you know bonuses stack, right ?

but i agree, the new dragons are retarded.

Also want to add that this elixir would be disabled if you completed your last item.

I have a better idea for this: what if, if you leave base with 1.4k gold sitting in the bank gain 4%bonus dmg and dmg reduction. this may or may not be excluded upon completing 6th item?

Passive near shop: if you exit the shop's range with 1.3k gold gain the bonus stats, except once you've completed 6 items.

maybe 1% at 400 gold, .2% at 800 gold 3% at 1.2k?

Passive could be called 'don't leave empty handed'. and would appear above the bottom UI next to all the other effects.
