@Meddler/Scruffy - Built-in Grievous Wounds for Champion kits

darkdill··2 votes·416 views

Presently, only two Champions get Grievous Wounds built into their kits: Katarina and Varus, and neither one is really picked for such a mechanic (compared to what else they offer). Besides them, you can only inflict GW if you have summoner 14 , item 3165 , item 3123 , or item 3033 .

We used to have the mechanic on Fizz and MissFortune , but they lost it in favor of power shifts or new mechanics, presumably also because Riot felt they gave toxic types of power to them. That all said, I can't help but wonder if you ever plan to give built-in GW to any future Champions.

Is it possible, or is the very mechanic something that should be item-only/Ignite-only?

just played Varus Blitzcrank into Twitch Soraka

Soraka didn't seem to care about GW. lol She still healed a metric ton

Soraka is besides the point; I'm asking whether or not GW is classified as "invisible power", and if it can be put into any future Champions' kits.

You've answered your own question. If Riot feel it's not appropriate for kits (Fizz and MF), then yes it should only be on items/ignite

It wasn't appropriate for THEM, not for EVERYONE. If Riot thought it was toxic on EVERY Champion, Varus and Katarina wouldn't have it.

Varus and Kat have no had extended periods of being out of line as both MF and Fizz did. The only reason it's still on them is removing are balance related. Eventually it will be removed on them too.
