Increase Censer's AP to 50 so it lines up with Zeke's and Frost Queen's Claim

Caseo··90 votes·2,015 views

Adding just 10 AP would create a set of 3 items aimed at supports that all share a core of 50 AP and 10% CDR, and would likely make the item more attractive despite the potential price increase.

Censer on Lulu is a lot of fun, just like here ADC have some on hit.

Imagine supports like Janna, Karma, and Alistar that can buff all allies in teamfights.

Two champs I've used this item on :D

Just to point out Janna's ult should not be used for a quick buff, the knock back on it can, and in most cases, will mess with everyone's positioning in a team fight.

That depends on how you use it. If you focus on out-positioning your opponents, then ult such that they end up closer to your base while you also buff your team, it can work wonders.

Iirc, they changed ardent censor to not proc on Alistar's heal. EDIT: So eager to down vote over one erroneous fact. Get a life people.

I believe they changed it so it would no longer give the Censer buff to allied minions. Still afftects champs tho.

Birefringence1 votes

Hmm, you may be right.

ahferroin71 votes

That is correct, it still procs on allied champs from Alistair's heal.

Lol, I love running Censer on Janna, it lets you turn your ADC into even more of a seige engine, and it's already hilarious on Karma.

Lulu is an ADC in my book :^)

Great on support Karma as well. Being able to shield your entire team at once synergizes well with Ardent's passive effect.

Tbh i didn't know censer was an item for the longest time

Or they could make the passive more meaningful. "x% of your amount healed/shielded is added onto the magic damage and aspd increase."

In all honesty, Censer's passive is much stronger than Zeke's. If you play Sona/Soraka with censer, Windspeaker's Blessing, and good cooldown, you can constantly have all teammates with higher attack speed, magic damage on hit, and 15% extra resistances

I'd say to that: Why not both? Zeke's for the ADC (or sustained damage mage), Censer for everyone.

But yeah, getting Censer before Zeke's can be better, depending on the team composition in question.

well Zeke's is just terrible right now, with how easy it is to get high amounts of crit the need for a Zeke's is really low while Censer's on the other hand who is going to use the AS buff + on-hit damage other than ADCs and auto-attack reliant champions? and even then it doesn't scale well at all

You can usually get Zeke's while the ADC has only completed one item. Get the first sightstone and then get Zeke's before any other items it can be a pretty giant power swing at that point in the game. Even without the effect that stats are usually all ones you want early on in the game and with the effect the power of you and your ADC showing up to fight early goes up hugely.

Yeah but a lot of adcs are building infintiy edge into static + firecannon which means 30% of the crit will be wasted from zekes. Even if the adc goes essence reaver into ie into any 30% crit item that's still wasting 20% of the boost.

Sure it can give you a nice early power spike if you can afford it early (sometimes you need to invest in boots or upgrade your gp10 item first), but given how frequently adcs build more than 50% crit and how infrequently the bonus crit is up when you need it, ardent censor is just a more consistent item. The 20% ap boost is really minor most of the time and very few champions besides adcs can make good use of the crit.

Problem: The 30 ap damage on hit is weak, the attack speed bonus is weak, and the 40 ap is weak. Only thing this item offers of value is the huge movement boost.

On Soraka...it might be worth it because Soraka hardly does damage at all, so any contribution to damage from her is appreciated.

On Sona, steer clear. Get other things. Not worth it.

On Janna, it's a decent build because her shield is already an AA augment.

On Karma/Sona, it's powerful as a siege tool (the buff isn't all that great on just one person, bu tit's pretty strong when you're beating down a tower with your whole team and proc it on everyone)

You don't need it on Sona. Just get Lich + Banner of Command + FQC. FQC covers mana regen. Banner gives split pushing power and siege with Baron. Lich allows you to chunk towers by hitting a spell + her passive AA stacks with it and hits towers. Towers go down fast enough that Censor is a poor choice.

censer i pretty good on alistar here team why don't we all get an on hit and as buff and some healing and a def buff cos windspeaker

DJ S0NA1 votes

I would definitly buy all those 3 to get all the CDR and give the power to my team Sona

I love using it on support lux, her shield is on such a low cd that you can get your whole team multiple times during a teamfight.

Yes, please buff Censer. It's pretty underwhelming and has been for all of its existence.
