Riot, thank you for reworking Morellonomicon
This is not irony. I am being serious.
New
is a wet dream for a bunch of champions.
For example,
. With old Morello, you would have the wasted mana - even though the other stats were amazing on Vladimir. Also, with old Morello only inflicting Grievous Wounds when under 35% health, purchasing it just for the GW wasn't worth at all. So Vladimir's closest viable option for a GW item was literally
which, as you know, is actually useless against certain sustain champions like
or opposing Vlad.
But with new Morello, he actually has a viable GW option to use against opposing sustain champions. People say that new Morello is a nerf to Vlad, because now APs have a consistent GW option to use against him. But it is also a buff for Vlad himself, because he can now actually combat sustain abusers, like enemy ADCs or Yasuo that stack lifesteal and would outheal Vlad because of this and because they can build
. Also, Vladimir deals a bunch of AoE damage, allowing him to easily apply GW to multiple enemies.
As a enchanter support like
new Morello is a wet dream too. Now they actually have a non-troll option to inflict GW on enemies. Yes, Morellonomicon isn't an ideal item for supports, and is expensive when you consider their low gold income. But, in situations where your allies refuse to buy GW items, you now, as an enchanter support, no longer have to resort to purchasing
which is useless for them in every way. You now have an item that actually gives useful stats (AP enhances shields and most of their other skills, and the health is good to have a little bit of extra tankyness) and this item doesn't need to be sold late game.
Against Soraka, most mages love the new Morello. Especially the AoE ones. The AoE ones (like Brand) can inflict GW to multiple enemies, significantly decreasing Soraka's healing no matter who she tries to heal, which is good, because she is otherwise a pain in the ass to deal with for a mage. It is bad for Soraka herself, though. She needs a rework because as long as she is just a healing bot, she will either be too powerful, or a liability for her team.
The only complaint I have about new
is: Why this change has not been made before?
)
is garbage and I am yet to know a champion that can make good use of this. This item needs a rework.
should not be buffed, it should be removed entirely because encouraging snowball is not good (not in this way). There is a reason why Sword of Occult was removed.
is still inferior to the other two main mana + CDR item options. It isn't really a bad item, it is just that
and
This item should have been touched in the AP item rework. This item has the same issue as Liandry before its update. Its identity conflicts between being an AP assassin item or an hybrid sustain item.
should have less AP, but significantly more HP and a stronger slow. This item is for AP bruisers, not full burst mages.
and against them. Even without passive, it provide alot AP (120 since last buff).
are about the only mages you might first item it on, because Vlad needs CDR, Heal bonus.
rework too. He's so anti mage now that a
cannot kill him with his ult when he runs away with less than 5% HP. DoT doesn't work vs him, because of Second Wind, and his Regen / damage reducing E makes him about the only champ that is almost completely immune to a damage type, especially if he gets a 
would be a 35% win champ.
