The opportunity cost on hurricane needs to be lowered
As it is,
isn't a bad item in itself, it just has too high of an opportunity cost for most people to use it. It's ranged only and AS only, so the amount of champions who can make any use of it before the passive is limited.
Aside from Teemo and maybe Kayle (long shot of Orianna), I can't think of any AP champs who'd want it. So you are limited to getting it on a few ADCs who build AD and on hit effect items. But on hit builds are pretty weak. And most ADCs want critical hits which the bolts don't apply. And if you are getting an AS item, something in the zeal line or Bork takes precedence.
Don't get me wrong, I like the basic concept of the item, it's just not good enough on its own for most. People don't want a lot of AS from one item that does nothing else. The item has a big problem in that it also isn't rush worthy. If you just rush a hurricane, you are setting yourself back because it don't do enough on its own. It only works when you have a few items. Which often means you are ahead.
I can think of a few things for fixing it:
- Swap the daggers in the build for long swords and give it AD damage (or make it a bow and a pickaxe).
- Give the hurricane some movespeed boost so people will feel like they can take it instead of a zeal item.
- Let the bolts crit... for 10% bonus damage instead of 100% bonus damage.
I think it's an option for late game wave clear, but usually the ADC isn't the one doing that and if you look at the cost and the items you get for it, it's not like you can build it instead of something else it shares a common item with (the bow just doesn't build into enough good things).
does the same job better with a much smoother build curve. The same could be said of
.
personally because it work well with her Switcheroo. Fishbones fires 3 AEO Rockets which makes it an awesome late game team fight item for her.
also makes good use of it because of his poinson along with
and
. Truth be told though your right it really only serves a purpose on a few champions and it might need some slight adjustments but all in all its a viable decent item for at least a few people.
