Rework Sword of the Divine
Sword of the Divine
So I fought hard a long time ago to have this item returned to the fields of justice after it's been remove and it was successful... Sorta, put simply, the item change blows.
For 2150, +45% attack speed. Passive: This item does not grant any attack speed while on cooldown. Champion kills reduce the current cooldown by 50%. Unique Active: Gain 100% Attack Speed and 100% Critical Strike Chance for 3 seconds or 3 critical strikes. (60 second cooldown)
What was it before?
For 1970, 60% attack speed, Unique passive: Every fourth attack deals 100 extra Magic Damage. Unique active: Your attacks cannot be dodged and you gain 30 Armor Penetration for 8 sec. (40 second cooldown)
Please keep in mind that in the past, I loved the item, it was my bread and butter item to fend off the tanky meta. I brought it for the 60% attack speed and 30 armor pen. For the price it was wonderful. The 100 magic damage on hit was a bonus.
Note: Dodge, minus Jax, has been removed from the game. 3 Critical Strikes is either a typo or bug, it only works for 3 hits period and the crits don't even apply to the turret your attacking.

Idea for Change I want to keep the item to remain affordable, cost effective, and be popular again. I actually want to be proud of the hard work, we summoners have done to fight for the item's return. So time to bring forth ideas.
IDEA 1
400G Dagger + 900G Recurve Bow + 700G = 2000 Gold
60% Attack Speed, Unique passive: Every fourth attack deals 10% extra true damage. Unique active: You gain double bonus attack speed, double critical strike chance. Also gain 25% Bonus True Damage every Fourth Hit for 5 sec. On Cooldown: Bonus Damage Lost, attack speed lost. Attack Speed and Bonus Damage Returns at 1% attack speed a second, and 1% true damage on the fourth auto attack every 6 seconds. (60 Second Cooldown)
IDEA 2
400G Dagger + 800G Avarice Blade + 900G Recurve Bow + 700G = 2800 Gold
70% Attack Speed, 10% Critical Strike Chance, Passive: Kills grant a stack, monsters and Large minions grants 2 stacks. Max 30 stacks. On death, half of stacks is lost. Active: Increase Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage by .5% for every stack for 6 seconds. On Cooldown, all stacks lost and recharges at 1 stack a second. (30 Second Cooldown)
IDEA 3
400G Dagger + 730G Agility Cloak + 900G Recurve Bow + 370G = 2400 Gold
50% attack speed, 20% Critical Strike Chance. Unique Passive: On hit effects critically strikes with basic attack as bonus magic damage. Unique Active: Increase On hit effects critical strike damage by 20%(+1% per 50 AP) for 8 seconds. (60 cooldown)
I've created these ideas to a riot standard of start Over Powered for PBE and nerf later. I really hope that the ideas are tested out. Or at least leave a path for new items to be made with Sword of the Divine as part of the build. If you like the idea or have some to offer, please post them here. Please post this on twitter and facebook so we can gather some attention to the topic! Together summoners, we can bring the glory back to the Sword of the Divine!
