Soulfire Cestus: Cost 3100 gp (1000gp) Recipe: Chain Vest item 1031 B.F. Sword item 1038

Stats: +50 Attack Damage +50 Armor

Unique Active: Salvation Become invulnerable and untargetable for 2 seconds. Reactivation within this period blinks you to nearby target location. Can only be activated while under 20% HP. (180s cooldown)

Discussion: While the need for a Zhonya's-like item for AD champs has been discussed for eternities, the upcoming Guardian Angel change is not the right move. GA provided utility for non-AD champions, including top-lane AP tanks and AP junglers. Removing MR and adding AD to GA removes a lot of utility. An item like Soulfire Cestus would a) provide a unique mechanic for AD champions as it allows for both damage mitigation AND repositioning and b) keep Guardian Angel as a versatile defensive item that many different types of champion can use.

Sounds cool, I feel like it's a little OP tho.... Maybe remove the blink? I mean people talk about Zhonya being op for an ADC, but now you're adding a blink to it. xD

A big part of the reason they changed GA was the buildpath felt reallllllly bad on ADs. The resistances combined with the extra life were also very attractive to tanks while also being a good buildpath, which gets obnoxious.
