at this point this bad boy could have had a secret patch where it's new active destroys all the enemy turrets and we wouldn't even know...

Give it the item 3026 treatment:

Ohmwrecker makes more sense on squishy champs who need the effect to tower dive. Give it AP stats with the same passive and watch the Ekko Evelynn Diana Akali etc give it a try.

However i'm not sure we want offensive divers being able to turn off towers..so the item remains niche.

Hell yeah, another armor and AP item.

The reason it has the stats it has is because its for fighters and the diver subclass who unlike assasins when they dive they still take a while to do what they need to putting that on assassins would be super toxic. The only problem with ohm wrecker is its stats on the item are horrible when even top defensive stat builds feel super bad

all those already dive, so lets not give them more reason to while giving them less risk

also rito wanted the item to be niche, not a go to item you see every game

With how weak towers feel I don't think the item would be that useful really

i used to check this items win percentage pretty regularly, and it comes up in the highest winrate items A LOT. The only item ive ever seen higher than infinity edge. Havent checked in a lil while so im not sure, but there are people out there, hiding in the millions of players, abusing this thing with pretty good success.

Ive seen it been used as a "sell an item late when ahead, buy ohm and dive nexus towers" cheese also, but i dont know how often this happens.

There's your answer OP ^^^

LordGeovanniNov 30, 20172 votes

Id expect it to have a good winrate as its a weak item that isnt picked up in solo que but has a powerful active if you can get your allies to follow up which teams can do

PsybicilinNov 30, 20171 votes

I can answer this for you from personal experience. I built this item as alistar in ranked when we were way ahead and ran into the base and used it and ran out. Just to BM. People only build it as a meme if the game is beyond over.

Nanuk PihoqahiakDec 1, 20171 votes

It could have a high winrate due to people buying it when they are about to win though, no?

And if that weren't the case, it could be people buying it just because they're so fed, why not? The outcome of the game is in their favor.

Play it on Heimer, along with zz'rot and commando banner. Then proceed to push straight to enemy nexus with it.

Succubús GFDec 1, 20171 votes

Fun fact heim actually has a quote for it

ªTeemoNov 30, 20172 votes

Actually yes. I bought it once because I was already fed as fuck and the game was over anyway

PsybicilinNov 30, 20171 votes

For real. I'm laughing at all the theory crafting comments trying to figure out why it's win rate is high.

FOR JUSTICENov 29, 20171 votes

its great for towerdives I guess, but usually people don't build it because its not worth the potential stats you could get from another item. plus, if you had the 2.5k spare gold to buy it, you could just out-tank the turret shots

there are a couple exceptions like always, but most of the time its just not worth it. its like item 3020

LordGeovanniNov 30, 20172 votes

People dont usually build it because even if you didnt have ohm wrecker as a tank or fighter your adc/ mage will not follow up with you to dive 80% of the time when you have ohm wrecker even worse its feels horrible to waste a big cooldown because your mage/ adc aka the people riot piled all of your teams damage on for them to not follow up because they like to play safe (not drag their lead {nuts} all over the enemy's fucking face like is supposed to be used) and on top of that current full tank builds feel like shit but if i pick up a tank item with worse stats its gonna feel even worse

DemonBoneJanglesNov 30, 20171 votes

yes I have seen and used it, its very effective if you can mow through the enemy team and just blitz a tower, its best effect is at the nexus where it disables both towers at once ^_^

ParoeNov 30, 20171 votes

Ive used it... when playing ultimate bravery. The item doesnt really have a use. Would be nice if instead of tower disable, it had some active item CDR and a turret FORTIFICATION.

swaningtonNov 30, 20171 votes

I actually really like to run it on tower assasin teleport ziggs.

LunarEdge7Nov 30, 20171 votes

I'm thinking of using it for early dives as a tank jg tbh.

Edit: It's just my fear of being ?-spam-pinged and reported if it doesn't work out..

AZ FrostNov 30, 20171 votes

i bought it once, never needed to use it all game. Was sad...

ExaggeratedToastNov 30, 20171 votes

i've build it a few times, usually on tank supports late game. it's a good tool to get those pesky escape artist as well as to save your natural diving/all in champs.

side note it's always pretty good never exeptional, but lets all think about how you can have 65% cdr on active items with the right runes... maybe you are on to something?

KoggyStyleDec 1, 20171 votes

occassionly in low elo.

TrollmanshipDec 1, 20171 votes

I've built it a few times while jungling and duo queuing with somebody. It was pretty much entirely for trolling so we could just dive the enemy laner every single time he walked into lane until he ragequit. On the bright side it worked pretty well because we had like a 50% ragequit success rate.
