@Riot: Since Wriggles is so bad that I won't upgrade to it until stacked, can Madreds get a counter?

Madred's should have had a stack counter when Feral Flare was released. It didn't.

Now Feral Flare and Wriggles are almost nerfed out of viablility. What does this mean?

This means I'm going to hold on to my Madred's Razor (which is still decent) as long as possible, and buy other combat items before I upgrade to Wriggles (eg: Triforce, Bork).

So now Madred's not having a stack counter is a problem.

Can you guys add this small QoL change that should have been made on Feral's release?

(Optional: give machete a counter too - but that might confuse people, so don't do that; just start with Madreds)

So regardless of whether or not it's necessary, is there a reason it SHOULDN'T be there? I can't think of any.

Wriggles hasn't been that bad in my experience. It's often the power spike I need to solo dragon. A madred's counter would be nice though.

Saw the topic on GD and decided to show up here.

Bump and upvoted, for you.

As I wrote in the other thread: I would give a counter to machete as well.

Con:

Confusing, because the stacks would vanish when you build a spirit stone.

Pro:

Consistency. The moment you start getting stacks you see the counter.
Enables you to make the conscious decision of goign for a spirit item instead, in case you're not farming well enough for FF to be worth it.

I'd like it, but honestly I can keep track somewhat of my stacks in my head long enough until getting Wrig's is more for the ward than for the combat stats. Plus if it's 15-16 mins and you haven't been counterjungled too hard, you're probably around 20-25 stacks so it would be a good idea to find the rest of that money soon.

I think there is an issue with the OP play pattern. The lack of additional vision you could be providing your team but making the lantern.

It's a good idea to add it on Madred. Again as you said, no reason not too especially since it transforms to a single item afterward anyway!
