Liandry's Torment Buff

Hi everybody! So everyone knows that it is currently the "Tank meta" (even though its dying down a little). One suggestion I had was to make Liandry's have more Ap with possibly more magic pen. I just thought of this idea because mages right now only have void staff to help when the game comes late, otherwise its only one or two targets mages and do some decent damage through if they can even get to the back lines. With the cinderhulk and lots of defensive items that have health in them it means that magic pen can not really help much if you don't have the amount of AP to get through their health. This is just a suggestion to help mages fight back! Thanks for reading and Good luck to you in all your games!

It could use a buff, but keep in mind magic pen stacking against adcs/squishies can kill carries just as much as it can tanks.

I think it needs a buff. Maybe instead of giving magic penetration as a stat the magic dot on the passive would penetrate some of the targets mr. So basically it would make the casters own spells less effective but the passive more effective efficiently making it a good item against tanks.

"Dealing spell damage applies a damage-over-time effect that deals bonus magic damage equal to 2% of the target's current health per second for 3 seconds. This bonus damage is doubled against movement-impaired units and capped at 100 damage per second vs. monsters."

Would also have an addition "The magic damage penetrates 50% of targets magic resistance" and the flat +15 magic penetration would be removed from the item.

Something else could be to make the burn effect last maybe five seconds and deals magic dmg based off health, dealing more dmg to tanks and not as much to squishes....making it an anti tank item

It needs a rework... It is used more to kill squishies than it is to kill tanks. It is like the old BC in that respect.

I think it might be better to have item 3151 go the way of item 3071 and lose its magic penetration completely in return for much better stats and an improved passive. Liandry's has always been a good item for poke and DPS champions, and its unique current-health burn makes it especially good against tanky enemies before the start of a fight (or should, in any case). Since item 3001 is getting turned into a tankbuster item for melee champions, it might be worth making Liandry's the ranged counterpart and tuning it fully towards that goal. item 3285 is already an excellent squishy-killing item due to the additional burst it provides, including for poke champions, so Liandry's could complement it by offering better sustained damage. Just giving the burn minimum damage would help enormously.
