item 3512

While it received a hefty buff with anyone building alot of HP and the range the problem with this item still remains.

Who should build it? When should I build it? What item do I sacrifice to build it?

The question on who should build it falls mostly on supports, tanky utility toplaners or tanky utility junglers. Okay, but on specific champions? I cant honestly think about any other champions that would use this besides Singed when proxying and maybe Shen , but not building HP item early is kinda iffy even if it gives you alot of hybrid stats. It cant really replace item 3068 for Shen for example. The only time I can think this would be a good rush item against is Yorick because he deals deals alot of damage both trough autos and and ghouls base magic dmg. Its much better to builditem 3211 against mages early on. Supports generally have enough items to think about before even contemplating this item.

Okay, so its not an item that you rush, but why would you buy it later? I find it be to easy to find where it come from and just destroy the nest and when used in defensive position its not like a item 3060 minion that can tank alot for your team(this item 3060 also pushes the wave more slowly towards the enemy, but will push for as long as the minion is alive and will generate big waves). The damage is good on item 3512 on towers, but its a win more item in a sense that it is only good when you are zoning them from destroying it which helps you destroy turrets that are fairly weak/nerfed already compared to previous seasons, at which point people usually concede turrets or you could just build alot more armor and tank the turrets. However it can be placed down and then TP for neutral objectives to avoid Auto pushes against you so it can be good in that sense.

So what are your opinions?

it pushes the wave, but its useless in a siege because of how easily they're killed. so you use it to split push, however banner of command does it better.

so stat wise, its ok, but utility is near useless, it just doesn't do enough.

tanks wont build it because tanks build tank to team fight and reach the enemy back line, and the portal doesn't give HP so its not as effective as other tank items.

overall i give it a 3/10, and its use needs buffing.

It is as you say it just doesnt do enough in combat and its overshadowed by item 3060 which is the only non combat active item that see play.

ZZrot and Ohmwrecker cover weaknesses that you should not have because you can play a certain way so you dont need them.

Ohwrecker can impact a teamfight if its over a turret, but ZZrot I think needs more stats to make it even more cost effecient because of its low in combat utility.

because Portal is designed to give Tanks a means to split push, It's not the best Tank Item. (I.E. doesn't really help you tank) So it's situational at best.

I have tried using it on Supports, But Banner of Command almost always works out better.

Its a cheese item and was never ever going to be good.

I think it works pretty well on some Tank supports. item 3401 and item 2049 give you the health that item 3512 lacks. So it makes a pretty solid tank set.
