Trinity Force is Gone

Ok sure but why··2 votes·674 views

Trinity Force used to be the Everything Item. It had everything except armour/magic resist, and it could be utilised by many champs for many different styles. But with each rework, or with each Irelia buff, they just thought to themselves, "Well, if we can't fix the champions, let's change the items to fit them!" First, they took the AP off of it, which snubbed any incentive to buy more AP on certain champions, like Jax or Irelia. And then, they removed the crit, which snubbed any incentive to buy more crit on certain champs, like Talon or Gangplank.

So what is this item, now? It's certainly not an Everything Item. It's been reworked solely to benefit AD bruisers, with more AD, less AP, more AS, less crit, more CDR, and less MS. Let's give it a new name.

item 3078 Brute Force.

If anything, some new item that can implement Crit with Sheen would be marvellous. That's something quite a few champs need, since not EVERY crit champ needs CDR and mana regen.

I have to agree that they have changed it too much from it's original identity. Not enough 3s or multiples of 3 for the stats

It was fine having a none of it's power in CDR and Sheen procs being less of what it has to offer but other stats making it still a top tier item.

I would rather it have no CDR and build from Recurve Bow instead of Stinger while Sheen provide 5% movement speed instead of 10% CDR 30% attack speed 30 on hit magic damage 9% movement speed Sheen proc 150% base AD on hit after using an ability 300 mana 30 AD 300 Health Rage Passive: Basic attacks (on-hit) grant +24 flat movement speed decaying over 3 seconds. Killing a Unit grants +72 flat movement speed instead. This movement speed is halfed for ranged champs.

Yes I am saying that too much of the power currently is in the CDR and Sheen procs and I would rather having it better opened to champs besides Irelia and a couple others then being what it is now.

While I am glad the Crit is gone from it part of me wants season 2 Trinity back more then anything.

Well usually you go Trinity on people like Jax that rely on auto attacks So in my opinion the crit wasn't needed because if the champs already have high attack speed they don't need critical

THe issue came when they made the attack speed 15% down from 30% in the name of trying to make it an ADC itme by giving it 20% crit chance up from 10%. It felt too slow for Irelia, Jax or most anyone else to like building which caused the rise of rageblade but before that stunt no one really had any issues with the crit chance being there outside of the fact that it is a form of RNG.

item 3078 + Shyvana = damage trinity force applies rage and a stronger version of spellblade.

I build triforce on alot of champs, it's really fun on Taric.

Ok sure but why1 votes

That's the point. It's no longer an item that works with everyone; it's an item that turns everyone into an AD bruiser.

Well some champs can play multiple roles, some better than others. Taric can be played top lane as a tank bruiser for example.

Crit and CDR should be treated as two sides of the same coin and should not be put together. It's just too much power.

I mean Trinity isn't hugely better as is, but they were sad that spellblade came with defense so they nerfed Iceborn I guess and had to make a decent 20% cdr spellblade option.

Or something, something Ekko builds, something.
