Zephyr Rework.

Boomerangbro·Nov 3, 2015·5 votes·1,686 views

I have taken it upon myself to rework Zephyr so that Riot can keep it in the game. First I had to ask myself why it isn't viable to most Attack Speed reliant fighters. I figured it's because it's mostly used in the top lane. This led me to ask the question of what item in the top lane is lacking. I figured that a CC item was needed in order to keep the sticky laners in check (Renekton,Irelia,Riven). So I combined the existing Zephyr with Puppeteer to get this concept. Hope you like!

Buildpath: + Caufiled's Warhammer + 500 gold =

Stats: +25 Attack damage, +20% CDR, +10% movement speed, +40% attack speed.

Unique Passive (active): Wind Fury: Sends a flurry of wind away from your champion in a small aoe. Enemies that are trapped in the wind are knocked back by 150 units. (50 second CD).

So there you have it. Zephyr is back in the meta and I get to keep my sweet item!

Unique Passive (active): Wind Fury: Yet another Yasuo buff (50 second CD).

Actualy I like it, it might be dangerous to implement hard cc into an item tho. Whe should be talking about a knockback that is only one Teemo long. Like graves his new passive on monsters. Or just don't let it count as hard cc so it only pushes him back but it wouldn't cancel any of the enemy champion actions.

Literally 0 crit, and only a token amount of AD. Yasuo would never sacrifice so much of his power for this item.

Only reason anyone ever built it was for the Tenacity. Even building it late-game in place of boots was bad. It just had nothing to distinguish it over anything else except Tenacity.

With literally every item in preseason getting crit, I think people would be glad to see Zephyr back.

Increase cost and give a extra 10+ AD

Its not built because its simply way out of the way of a Legendary item I guess. 5 AD less then FM, no defensive stat, and people simply take less on atk spd either with combo ability set or innate atk spd. Like I always get it if I need tenacity and not being passive role.

Stats: +25 Attack damage, +20% CDR, +10% movement speed, +40% attack speed. In a single item? Way too strong.

Way Too Strong.

This in certain kits like top lane Alistar Riven Zac Singed would be WAY too op. Think along the lines of the infamous Janna Flash + Ult combo. Now replace that idea with an item bought in the store, with a cooldown of less than 1 minute, and not having to use a long cooldown to accomplish it.

God help us all if Riven gets it. item 3151

It loses 10% attack speed and gains 10% CDR in exchange for low attack damage. Also, the knockback is 1 teemo long.

I think this is a great idea which should be considered and worked on by Riot to make it a balanced item. I personally feel like its stupid that there is one AD atk spd item without crit and i would love for zephyr to return.
