I've been saying that gunblade is a problem since since so much times, but no one wants to listen

Gunblade is a hybrid, draintanking, burst item, that helps to kite/chase with slow it's so overloaded and nothing is being done because of.. BECAUSE OF WHAT?

it was built on Ahri before glacial augment + GLP combo appeared and she isn't even a hybrid champion this item is an aberration, can you please do something about gunblade?

its a 3400 gold item which provides half benefits to anyone with who doesn't have both AP and AD scalings.

it gives 15% damage drain, reduced to 5% on ALL AOE abilities. ezreal has his Q,W and auto's to fully benefit from it.

This item suffers balancing issues due to it being far weaker on non-hybrid champs and too strong on hybrid champs. Ezreal is an hybrid champ so he takes full advantage from it.

despite that it will only provide healing IF you can provide damage, if you are say... CC'ed this item isn't doing jack shit. it doenst provide HP, or armor or MR and leaves whoever's rushing it open to Flat armor / MR pen.

its just ezreal's nature of long-range poke why it might seem to be out-draining an aatrox, or prehaps someone forgot to bring his summoner 14 to cut his healing in half.

Ahri got benefit from this item due to it boosting her sustain: after the glacial + GLP combo this item became too inefficient to build and was left in the dust for those reasons. even new Morde avoids it, due to having no AD scaling on his abilities (and no longer having HP costs)

That's all.

first off, no you haven't.

secondly it should just be deleted for the exact same reason wota was removed, the champ that builds most Akali already has sustain within her kit.

Which since has been removed, and now only has ToB, Ravenous, and Gunblade for sustain (unless she goes Fleet, then she has that too).

Akali doesn't have sustain

Katarina builds it as much as Akali

Ezreal builds it all 3 of them are cancer with gunblade

Yeah, Kat is pretty aids if she runs Conq and gets Gunblade. One small opening and she'll rip everyone open a new asshole.

Yes Gunblade is overloaded, but usually not as a rush item, so most people tend to sleep on it. Remember, it doesn’t have CDR, which is the one stat that makes a champion currently, and it doesn’t have HP to survive burst, especially while CC’d.

I do love building Gunblade alongside Spirit Visage and sometimes Nashor’s Tooth on any champion who can get away with it, though.
