Change the MR on QSS to health.

Kowe The Ewok·Dec 8, 2014·11 votes·557 views

With the rise of AD asssins and mages the current QSS is outdated. There are many games where you don't want to spent 1250g on an item which grants you MR, even if it helps you against a certain champions.

It's simply not worth it if your opponent is free to build a Burtalizer at the same time and beat the living hell out of you.

QSS should not be limited in use against casters. That's why I would suggest to make it a more universal defensive items and grant it somethign which helps against AP as well as AD casters.

QSS is not really a normal build, only for when against heavy CC teams. It also completely counters Malzahar and id rather it not be on everyones build, he is already somewhat under-powered right now. The fact it doesn't give much useful stats is compensation for its great active i think.

But MR is exactly what you want vs Malzahar...

...yes but its not a good item on everybody as there is better MR items. If QSS offered better stats EVERYBODY would build it against a Malzahar making him useless... as it stands usually only assassins and ADC's will build QSS meaning you just dont ult those two while its up, it would be best if the other roles didnt build it too. See what im saying now?

This is a pretty decent idea I think. It wouldn't suddenly make Zed fine, but a decent idea anyways I think.

It shouldn't be a more general defensive item. The active is extremely strong. Paying a cost for that is necessary, and having it work against everyone on an enemy team makes it way too easy to pick up, particularly in lane. It should be limited to a more mid/late game role.

Dude. No. Just stop.

Noone forces you to buy QSS. This item is meant to protect you from CC (or Zeds R). It isn't yet another AD item on ADCs list. Don't build it frst if you have problems facing enemy ADCs.

Rofl. If you buy this item against a semi decent Zed you are dead meat. The money it take is basicaly it takes for Zed to get a Brutalizer. With that insane item´advantage he'll DESTROY you in lane, no ultimate required.

Zed was just an example (and sidejoke cuz all Zed mains say "buy QSS")...

QSS is situational item. It's job is to protect you from CC and lessen damage taken from magic. And after this MR->HP change ADCS would scream and yell "we don't have any way of protecting from magic! It's your fault Riot!!!111oneone"

Btw, who forces you to buy QSS early? You can always follow standard build "brutalizer/BT/Hydra". QSS is more of mid-late game making sure you won't evaporate while being stunned in teamfight.
