BotRK - is there a good enough reason for this item to exist?
Champions that rely on this item:
- Vayne
- Zed
- Twitch
- Master Yi/Evelynn??
A situational item for:
- ADC's
- a few Top laner's (Shyvana/Trundle)
- AD or AS orientated champions in the lategame wanting some health shredding or peel from active
An early core item for Zed, a HP shredding item that you could say is a situational pickup for the mid late - late game on a champion in the early-mid game...ok. The synergy with the BotRk active is great, the attack speed helps in killing and clear and the vamp sustains him and ensures he stays on the map for as long as he wants...ok!
Vayne and Twitch, I like the fact that BotRK gives them peel potential in a tough situation but there killing potential is greatly enhanced with the item's active in the early-mid game. Do these champions require this advantage to be relevant in the game? Vayne and Twitch have a weaker than average laning phase, does this item alleviate the pressure they can potentially receive?
For a long time now regardless of nerfs/buffs to BotRK i think this item in certain situations has always worked better than intended, I feel it's only balanced use is in pressuring tanky top's who just rely on health and armor stacking to survive the laning phase or split pushing.
I think if you take this item away and create a new one that doesn't greatly benefit Vayne/Zed/Twitch i think this would be a healthy approach to fixing the map pressure that is Zed. I think if this were to pan out ofc i think small buffs to Vayne, Twitch and possibly even Zed's base attack speed should be brought back.
