Thoughts on zeke's herald

Zeke is getting a full rework on pbe, and i think the changes is weird. But first let's talk about the changes.

Actually, zeke is an very ad focused item that buff's everybody in an area around the player with AD and Lifesteal buff, including the it's owner. So It's good when you have a lot of Ad on the team(specially those AA focused comps) . As most of the supports damage is magical they don't gain anything from zeke's passive. So they end up with only 20% CDR (Most of support item gives CDR) and 250 HP. As most team comps build up mixed damage to hamper the enemy frontline itemization, zeke currently is a bad item choice for most of games.

The new zeke attempts to bring that mixed damage idea to the table. A lot of temporary stats to Magic and Physical damage dealers in addition to a bunch of useful stats to the guy who builds it (MP, CDR ,AP and armor for 2300 gold). It's now a great item to build in a lot of different supports, definitely. But the new stats and passive/active don't bring any strategic value besides a huge damage boost like taric's ult. Looks like it was made to become the luden's eco of the supports. (Don't matter the champion if the item gives such good stats). this IMO, takes away zeke's identity.

It brings a strategic value, but only with great synnergy (so, duo queqes).

Say you are playing Draven and you haveitem 3031 item 3046 . If your support Annie has item 3050 , you get 100% crit chance when that thing is active, but you need to be both paying attention to it, so you both know the exact moment when you go super sayan. Its like timing your trades to hit the enemy with a Shiv proc, but MUCH more potent.
