Titanic Hydra's active is too strong and many champions can abuse it

I'll explain quickly.

Titanic Hydra is a good item for AA based bruiser. The lack of lifesteal and raw AD on it makes it so this item is not interesting for melee carries like or which is a good thing. Overall, I like the item and I think that it is well thought.

Still, I have 2 problems with this item.

Right now, Titanic Hydra deals too much damages thanks to its active. There are many champions that are not AA based bruisers (and even AA based Bruisers) that can abuse this item because of its active and how powerful it is and use Titanic Hydra as a "burst item" similar to BORK when it was release or even old DFG (although not as powerful as these items were) for a deadly wombo-combo.

My main concern with this item is that its active RESETS the AA timer. Just like Renekton's W, Nasus' Q, Jax's W and so on.

I will take 2 (maybe 3) examples, they are maybe not the best, but I have seen them in ranked (plat 1 84 lp).

=> by combining many health items, even offensives one (for example BC + Titanic Hydra then full tank), he can abuse the combo AA + Titanic Hydra + AA + Q Active for a surprisingly SUPER HIGH burst attack in less than 0.5 seconds. Garen doesn't use his AA much even after his rework, but Titanic Hydra is right now, a core item for him for this only reason.

=> god Renekton ... This one is extremely stupid. Renekton has always been in a weird spot because of his W. He doesn't AA that much (although he still needs to do it to build Fury) but the long casting animation on his W has always made him a champion that loves everything that can "break" the animation and this is why is so great on him. Just like Garen, Renekton can easily do a combo AA + Titanic Hydra + AA + W with Fury in less than 0.5 seconds and the result is a HUGE HUGE amount of burst damages. On a squishy target, in lategame, I did this combo and I inflicted 1000+ damages on my target (it was a Support). This is absolutely stupid.

Same goes for . You could think that Titanic Hydra is garbage on him because of the lack of raw AD and lifesteal or AS, but it is not. Because the active resets the AA timer, you can use it to "speed up" the number of stacks required to proc Blood Thirst or Blood Price. It is a LOT more powerful than own active for this only reason. Do 2 AA then, right after the second AA, use the active to unleah right away the 3rd and modified AA of Aatrox. The result is ugly, trust me.

Yes it has a 20 seconds cooldown on it. But still, too many champions can abuse the active to unleash a stupidly overpowered combo in less than 0.5 seconds.

This is why I think Titanic Hydra deserves 2 nerfs :

1) the active now works like . No more AA timer reset to prevent abuse.

2) like , makes the active scales with champions level. Right now you can do super high damages with it in midgame and it only gets worse the longer the game is. Titanic Hydra's active starts at 6% max health and gains 1% scaling at lvl 6 / 11 / 16, ending at 9%. It will still be an excellent item for AA bruisers in midgame, but it will not be anymore a "use active to instagib a squishy in midgame".
