The Return of Deathfire Grasp.

Yes, you heard it correctly. While sitting and thinking, I came across a wild idea. With the removal of Deathfire Grasp, Riot gave us something new for AP players. This item, as we all know, was Luden's Echo item 3285 . Now Luden's echo was a AP copy of the long item favorite Statikk Shiv item 3087 , with some AP changes. As the Meta looks favorably on tanks, at this moment in time, more peoples are looking for sustain, CC, and overall damage output. Now, I don't know about you, but I for one love to take Blade of the Ruined King item 3153 on most of my AD Marksmans. Simply for the great attack speed bonus, the amazing lifesteal and, let's not forget, that helpful slow it adds. It's probably obvious where I am going here. Why not bring back the one true AP toy, the one and only, Deathfire Grasp as an AP Blade of the Ruined King. With a name that has "Grasp" in it I expected Rito to atleast have some kind of CC added in. Sadly they only made it a huge burst item.

So you maybe asking, why try and bring back something Rito has already claimed dead? For that I will say to you, why not? The idea I put around DFG's revival was simple, Make DFG an AP Botrk. I have put some thought behind this idea and I would love to share this with you all. I would also love some feedback, of course, on the base stats of what it does and more/less things it should have. The general idea was to return DFG as an AP Botrk, as did Rito with Luden's Echo to Statikk Shiv.

So let's start off with the Basics here -

Cost: 3000 (800)

Builds off: item 3108 Fiendish Codex - item 3145 Hextech Revolver

Base Stats: 100 Ability power 15% Spell vamp 10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE PASSIVE - Spells deal an additional 5% of the targets health as Magic Damage (max 60 vs. Minions and Monsters) on hit UNIQUE ACTIVE - Deals 10% of the champions maximum health as Magic damage and Reduces their Magic resist by 15 while slowing their movement speed by 15% for 3 seconds Cooldown on ACTIVE - 120 seconds (Due to the Slow and Damage output it's best to make it a "wise choice" item)

summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3summoner 3

Now that all of that is covered I would, again, like to welcome all you summoner's to get your idea's put into this and maybe, just MAYBE Rito will look into bringing back the DFG. Maybe even give a new name.

(:

DFG was removed due to it being OP. Some champs could 1 shot pretty much anyone with it. So what do they do, they give us Luden's which is almost as bad.

Swain and Cassio one-shotting everybody. Suspected winrate: over 100%.

Exception: Swain vs Cassio. Suspected outcome: match ends in a draw.
