Quick question: Triforce. Generalist fighter item or not?

Ralanr··2 votes·431 views

Because I'm under the assumption that based on what it offers, it is the generalist item in the game.

If that is the case, should this be made into a more niche item? Personal feelings aside (I really dislike the item) I've just been wondering if Triforce is ok to exist in a game where Riot (and feel free to correct me on this) is trying to make core items more niche.

it depends what type of fighter youre talking about.

item 3078 is the generalist item for auto attack focused fighters like Irelia Jax Yorick Nasus

item 3071 is the generalist item for spell based fighters like Darius Garen Renekton Riven

Triforce isn't as generalist as it seems. It's mostly good on people with decent autoattacks and a spammable spell, preferably an autoattack reset, who also need some mobility. It's kinda bad on people who don't correspond to those features. And those who happen to take it (Jax Nasus Irelia for instance ) kinda fit these conditions.

It's not necessarily a "fighter" item. Ezreal , Corki are very good users of it because they have spammable spells, decent autoattacks and like the mobility.

But isn't that basically most of the champions within the fighter class?

Riot wanted it to be more of a fighter item. Which is why they swapped out the zeal for stinger.

I'm not saying it wasn't a good stat for fighters to have. The extra attack speed + 20% cdr now is a good trade off that most fighters won't complain about. It made it less appealing to ADCs and people like Yasuo xD

Eh, the no crit triforce was core on his Frozen Force build so Yasuo probably doesn't give a shit.

Dif build.. I'm not saying trinity is bad on Yasuo either.. lol it's still not as common now that crit is removed.

Also he gets 100% crit on 2 items now so trinitiy isn't really needed to fill the space there anymore.

It is hilarious when Shyvana's Twin Bite critically strikes.

I would always try to build Phantom Dancer on her late-game (replacing Boots if necessary).

To be fair, with 140 champs or w.e we are at.. this really isnt a lot +1

I don't see Warwick building triforce honestly.

Its not bad if you're ahead.

I believe Warwick's standard build is along the lines of: item 1413 item 3748 item 3025 item 3065

Trinity Force isn't necessarily bad on him but Iceborn Gauntlet tends to be more useful since it provides armor and a slow.

Triforce is just an item you build if you can't stack Cleaver fast enough. Take Darius (maybe even Renek, Riven? since they're reliant on their spells) for example.
