New Zeke's Herald (Zeke's Harbinger) is a horrible failure

Dominick Destine··3 votes·1,200 views

Old Zeke's Herald had a 20% (YES 20%) lifesteal AURA alongside 30 AD in aura AND reduced armor by 20 (negative aura).

The negative aura was slashed. Then the lifesteal was slashed. Then the AD was slashed. Then the cost was upped.

Then it was "reworked" (aka permagutted) into Zeke's Harbinger.... basically what I'm saying is, if you're going to add a completely shit item like Zeke's Harbinger... at least make it a new item and let us build the classic Zeke's Herald again.

I will also say Spirit Shroud was a grossly underrated item. 10% CDR and 12 mana regen per 5 across 5 players was ridiculously good... and yet it was removed for being "too underpowered"? goddamnit Morello and Meddler, do you hate fun? do you also hate supports?

I'm pretty sure the new one is used much more seriously than the original.

Old one with the huge aura buffs and debuffs was extremely common. It was less common after the first wave of nerfs. It was practically never seen after it got gutted.

Even the old gutted version is better than the new version

That was called Stark's Fervor, and right now it can't be brought back because you can get way too damn much armor pen to let us get even more of it.

Also I believe someone is downvote botting you.

Oh yeah, good point.

Wow I can't believe I forgot.

No.

I have a hate-following on these boards. It's nice, I enjoy it.

@Riot; For real, what was the thought process behind the removal of Solo Queue?
