Lichbane Suggestion

La Bello··3 votes·511 views

What if item 3100 Lichbane Built out of item 3145 ?

Like Instead of dealing "75% BASE AD + 50% AP " Lichbane did like "100-200+50% AP?"?

And then make it build out of item 3108 Codex or something so Lichbane keeps the CDR potion?

What do you guys think? you would be losing the 250 mana portion but gain way more damage and a much more synergistic buildpath for AP champions imo (mages dont really like Sheen ).

why not?

Because of sheen, it is used in iceborn and trinity, also the fact that quite a few champions NEED the mana that lichbane gives. Ever played Diana?

La Bello1 votes

uhh yeah

quite a bit actually

the top build on Diana is RUSHING protobelt/hextech REvolver atm. Also Diana has innate mana recovery via Passive that scales with Raw AP. Combine this with Manaflow band and Dorans ring...

Why in the hell are you building Sheen on Diana? in nearly all cases RAW AP from blasting wand or the Aether Wisp is better so you can AOE down the wave faster with Q+W

I prefer the burst of lichbane and nashors, but i haven't played her in a long ass time, but you haven't explained about the other 2 items that require sheen, also plenty of champions build lichbane that still require the mana buff.

I dont think we are on the same page here.

how would changing Lich Banes build path Affect Iceborn or Trinitforce in ANY way whatsoever?

Also I dont think any mages build Sheen early to solve mana problems bro... Usually this is what item 3802 or item 3070 or item 3010 is for....

to Add I think t he only people who rush Sheen early are champs who can abuse it such as Ezreal Nasus Gangplank

Don't forget midlane Sona

I see what you mean by removing sheen but quite a lot of champions still need the early mana by building lichabane first along with the on hit

A lot of players rush lichbane for the AP the onhit after spell and the MANA

one item 1027 does not fix those champions mana problems.....

also might I recommend you NOT rush Lich Bane in future games? Due to Lich banes nature of Scaling in power with your AP rushing Lich Bane is very often sub-optimal the same as rushing a item 3089 would be.

at the LEAST you want at ONE AP item before you get a Lich Bane. Prehaps a Morello's or Rod of Ages?

I normally don't have to get another item first to snowball thanks to the new BROKEN AS FUCK RIOT IS DUMB AS FUCK RUNES. Before that depending on who I was playing I would buy another item first, but the mana of lichbane was usually still quite needed.

why not just stop at Mana crystal though?

you ARE aware that Lichbane gives the EXACT same amount of mana as Sapphire crystal right?

Might be interesting. Would not mind a different item that builds out of revolver however. More options are always better than not.

That is a lot of damage for a spammable effect, unless you up the cd it's a no go.

La Bello1 votes

numbers are always adjustable.

the main design is whats important.

in other words "Is Lichbane building out of revolver as opposed to Sheen something you would like?"

nm10101 votes

I wouldn't mind it, but champions who frequently went revolver sheen items would lose an item. I'm not sure how that would impact them as I'm not a big Fizz or Ekko player.

No, because all hextech items have a cooldown for add-on damage. being able to use the hextech damage after using ability is going around that 40 second cooldown.

La Bello1 votes

but then again all Hextech Items have those type of cooldowns because they offer utility

item 3152 -mobility+wave clear item 3030 -waveclear + CC(slow) item 3146 -CC (slow)

I'd argue that because Lich Bane offers none of the above and is purely single target damage it would be okay to keep its cool down very similar to what it is on live.
