Guinsoo's Rageblade Split Into Three Different Items, A What-If Scenario

What if Guinsoo's Rageblade was three different items?

Well, this means you can focus the power of the items which also means easier to balance the items as well with focused power and what I am thinking for the three items is:

  1. On-hit buffing item for ability power marksmen i.e. Teemo, Varus, Kog'Maw, Kayle (when ranged), Kai'Sa, etc. and mages that have on-hit effects i.e. Orianna, Twisted Fate, Diana, etc.

  2. Marksmen who attack a lot with minimal to no spell damage and melee champions who basic attack a lot.

  3. Hybrid item for super scaling, basically Rabadon's Deathcap for hybrid champions and is really expensive.


Example Ideas:

Nashor's Claw: Recipe: Stinger (1100g) + Needlessly Large Rod (1250g) + 650g = 3000g

Statistics: +80 Ability Power +35% Attack Speed +10% Cooldown Reduction +UNIQUE Passive - Phantom Hit: Every other basic attack applies on-hit effects an additional time.


Death's Razors: Recipe: B.F. Sword (1300g) + Recurve Bow (1000g) + 900g = 3200g

Statistics: +50 Attack Damage +30% Attack Speed +UNIQUE Passive - Death's Cut: Deal 15 (+1 per 10% bonus attack speed) bonus physical damage on hit. Gain an additional (+1 per 10% bonus attack speed) bonus true damage on hit for bonus attack speed that is exceeding your attack speed limit. +UNIQUE Passive - Endless Torture: Gain +2% total attack speed on hit for 4 seconds, this stacks additionally and infinitely.


Guinsoo's Rageblade: Recipe: Needlessly Large Rod (1250g) + B.F. Sword (1300g) + 1050g = 3600g

Statistics: +60 Ability Power +40 Attack Damage +UNIQUE Passive: Your attacks and spells on hit grant 5% increased bonus attack damage and 5% increased ability power for 6 seconds, stacking up to 8 times for a maximum of 40% increased bonus attack damage and 40% increased ability power. At maximum stacks gain Guinsoo's Rage.

Cannot Count Past Four: Jihn can only gain a maximum of 20% increased bonus attack damage and 20% increased ability power. Reaching this maximum grants Guinsoo's Rage.

+UNIQUE Passive - Guinsoo's Rage: Your next basic attack is converted to magic damage and deals (+100%AP) bonus magic damage, occurs once every 3 seconds. Your next damaging ability cast does (+100%bAD) bonus physical damage, occurs once every 3 seconds.

the first item has wayy too much ap. the only items that give that much are Spellbinder and Rabadons. make the ap maybe 70? and then the CD a unique passive.

Death's razor's 2nd passive is overpowered as fuck. what the...

The last item has no place for any champion.

overall bad idea bud.

2% attack speed is op? Rageblade has 6% attack speed, 6 stacks to cap it. To reach that same value you need 18 attacks.

Well, I like the idea. I’m not convinced on the items or if it should be done at all, but I liked thinking about it.

My biggest worry is that hybrid champs love the current item since it gives them the three stats they want. It was part of the ruckus that got made when they where working on changing it from the old one. Their solution was ingenious and I really hope a larger range of items get released to support hybrid builds.

Guinsoo's Rageblade being more like a deathcap probably opens up more champions buying it like Corki where he can use both the stats well and is more a mage than a marksman honestly, more of his damage is from spells. Jihn will like it more as well since he never used the on-hit portion.

Where as those that used the phantom hit will probably like it being ability power focused more since they did not really use the AD too heavily for the most part, opening it up to more champions.
