New anti-tank item for bruisers?
Hey! If you didn't already know, bruisers have been in a tough spot in the meta for quite some time, due to them often having a hard time against tanks (who stack armor and health) and against the harrassment of ranged champions in lane. As you may know, conqueror was added with the intention to do something about the tank problem, but the rune quickly created other problems and has later needed several reworks/nerfs.
One of the most obvious problems with conqueror, is that ANY CHAMPION with ANY BUILD could take it, just to deal an insane amount of damage in any matchup (Yes, I am looking at you
). My solution on the problem is creating a situational item that would be good for bruisers in most matchups and great (not op tho ofc) against tanks. Additionally, it would need to be in such a condition, that other classes can't just use it to deal tons of damage to anyone.
That was when I came with the idea of this item (also seen above)! https://imgur.com/RIxjA5G
An item that scales with health (which makes it unatractive to assassins
and adcs
) but also scales with damage and includes no resistances (which makes it unatractive to tanks). Additionally, it scales over TIME, which makes room for counterplay and makes it even more unatractive to bursty champions (yes, I am looking at you
).
Do you have a name suggestion, or other feedback? Feel free to tell me what you think! [slayer-jinx-wink]
but more expensive and less CDR. Even has the Phage passive. Plus, tanks already lose out to bruisers after a single item (if not earlier) anyway due to bruisers having much, much higher DPS.
