Zz'rot's portal needs... more.

The voidlings are extremely squishy.
The voidlings do little to no damage to minions.
The damage increase every 4 voidlings is too long inbetween.
No combat stats, which is fine.. if the item was gold efficient/actually excelled at its job.
In most "safe" locations, due to their uptime, the voidlings can only siege one tower.
Voidlings sometime ignore inhibitors.
Portal itself, while being immune to skillshots, die extremely fast to any AD champion.

As an item that's supposed to help tanks with little to no waveclear splitpush, it doesn't really excel at it. Most tanks in the game don't have reliable waveclear, so the first few rounds of voidlings die trying to battle minions. This makes the initial voidling and probably even the 4th voidling never reach the tower you're trying to siege. So then you have to wait another cycle to even get the returns from your tanky items.

i'd rather the voidlings have 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% in a sequence then to go a whole 3 before getting another good one and or spawn faster

what would be great is if it had enchantments that boosted its effect

50% faster spawnrate
25% more damage (so 50, 75, 100, 125)
50% faster movement
Stealth (enemy champions cannot see them unless they are right there, but still fights minions)
50% more damage vs minions (so 75, 100, 125, 150, but regular damage vs towers)

to counter the stealthyness of them, they make a boom when they hit, if your nearby you'll hear em go off

if you dislike the numbers i use, adjust em a lil, but yeah i agree with the whole " **BANG **...blank blank blank... **BANG ** ".. thing being annoying

That sequence sounds a lot better than the current setup, honestly the old pattern wasn't bad either. I'm not sure why they nerfed an already gold inefficient item.

I thought about grabbing it for Shen at some point in the game, but after this it doesn't really seem worth it. Guess there's a reason no one gets it.

In its current state I wouldn't bother. Release was decent for him.

The way it is right now is that it's more a late game item that should be built on an almost fully built tank. It's power comes when you have the defenses to make it worth it.

At this point it's a "don't buy at all item" that used to be situational at best on a very select few champions.

I find it to be a great item, but again you need a near fully built tank inorder to get the effectiveness out of it since it's power scales from armor/mr
