BF sword
Agility Cloak
Avarice Blade
+520 gold

TOTAL COST: 3600
Melee only
+50 AD
+25% Crit Chance
Unique Targeted Active-- Foe Fell: For the next 4 seconds, your auto attacks deal magic damage instead of physical damage to the targeted enemy champion. 40 second cooldown.

Role: A hyper steriod in the same vein as Sword of the Divine, specifically targeting armor stacking tanks.
Counterplay: Attack speed slows still reduce DPS during the period of the steriod. A 2 second stun will deny half of the entire steroid. The item isn't cost efficient when the active is on cooldown.
Other considerations: It is tagged as melee only because I fear making it usable by ranged champions might inflate the price. It would need testing, but I'm not against the idea of it being usable by both ranged and melee, I'm just against the idea of inflating the price far beyond 3600 gold. Ultimately testing would have the final say, but what is your opinion on allowing it to be usable by ranged champions?

3600 way too much to be worth buying. For that much not worth buying. Instead u can get like a trinity force or infinity edge for dps to melt the tanks

Well this is a niche item. Like sword of the divine. You don't build it every game, you only build it when the circumstance calls for it.

The circumstance in which you would want to build this item is for when you are up against a tank that refuses to build anything but armor and health, and is trying to push you out of fights by being impossible to kill. Like a 500 armor, 4000 health malphite who has only 110 magic resist. Typically, you would rely on your magic damage dealing allies to keep him off you, but this item allows you to pay a steep cost in order to take matters into your own hands.

The item isn't even gold efficient without its active, so this definitely isn't a "bread'n'butter" item like infinity edge.

Honestly I think Cleaver and Whisper are enough to deal with armor stacking tanks. They are tanks after all.

For the next 4 seconds I would change that to about 3.5 :D, i really like this idea though maybe 3300 gold?

you might wanna add a bit more ad if you want it too cost THAT much like rabadons deathcap gives 120 ap im not saying to do 120 but still, also the active woulda be better for a mage cause if the ad person uses it they will do exactly 0 damage because most likely they wont have ap also i think a good thing for the ad is to make it 60 because even though it it 25% crit it still needs a bit more ad if its going to cost 3600 also if it does magic damage does it turn yourad into ap and then do your abilities act as if you are going all ap?

sorry if this is too much i love the idea and i just want to help it a bit, thanks!

Some times (not all the time) a tank will neglect to build any magic resist. He will just build armor and health, and nothing else. Malphite for example, may end up with around 500 armor and little magic resist.

Even after you use the penetration from last whisper and potentially black cleaver, he will still be left with around 250 armor, which is more than his magic resist, and will still take ages in order to kill him.

For those hyper-armor tanks, this item will allow you to pay a steep cost in order to burn them down and punish them for not building a balanced mix of defenses. Usually you rely on your magic damage dealing allies to do that for you, but this item allows you to take matters into your own hands, albeit at a high cost.

The build path doesn't make sense. You go from two crit items to crit + ad. Either make it crit only and add a secondary effect, or add some ad item (Pickaxe, long sword, something).

BF sword is part of the recipe.

RIP Counterbuilding. This item would be so troll if you had a fed yi. You buy a ton of armor, when you have a lot, he just switches to its active, if you decide to get mr instead, he doesn't activate it and still does damage. You're only looking at this from a losing perspective imo.

There are other ways to deal with a fed YI aside from facetanking him.

You can kill him without tanking him by building enough damage and simply bursting him down.

YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT A FED YI WITH THIS HELLISH ITEM? WHAT ABOUT A FED YASUO? Cries softly

TheKingDodo1 votes

Yasuo has %bonus armor pen. why so glum? chum?

TheKingDodo1 votes

why would a fed yi need this item? he has true damage :/

Overall, this item is not worth making since all of the other damage items are much much more efficient than this. e.g. LW + brutalizer. It'll be in the atmas tier (rip) if it does ever get made.
