I think I have a pretty good idea for Deaths Dance.
So currently you get 75 AD, 10% cdr and this unique passive that gives you AD spell vamp, and you take delayed damage. I personally think this item is pretty cool, but i think its in a pretty bad spot for a number of reasons.
The AD is good, the CDR is good, put the passive doesn't really synergize with the other stats it gives. Making it pretty hard to utilize on most if any champions. Generally speaking, there are better options.
The high AD value with its 10% CDR is very appealing for caster ADs such as
and so on... The problem is not all the champions can effectively fit this 3500 gold item into their build without giving up something else they significantly need.
Example:
Could really love this item, however for 3500, they lack the HP the other items could give them instead for either the same price or cheaper.
Example2:
Like the AD and CDR, but they lose out on armor pen or crit, and furthermore, have a hard time utilizing half of the passive because they use all their spells up front to kill their target, so they can't easily utilize the "ad vamp"
Basically, the item to me tries to sound appealing to way too many champions thus being nearly useless on them all given better options for their gold.
My suggestion is to make it more fitting for the bruiser class since the passive seems to favor their play-style more than that of an assassin. To do this, I suggest changing the build path up to:
+
+
The total cost would remain at 3500 however the combined cost would be lowered to 300. It would be on par with
@ 300HP 55 AD 10% and the unique passive would stay the same.
I strongly feel this would make the item more viable in a lot of these champions builds than the way it sits now. Let me know if you agree or disagree and why. I'm quite curious to see how others feel about it.
is a situational def item for MARKSMEN
and even he tends to opt for other items.
