what about items that give great stats and powerful effects, but also take away stats as a way to stay balanced? so you open the shop, and in your recommended tab as well as the all items tab, there is a section called "The Black Market" with such items, here are some concepts I came up with

Necromantic Rites

  • 80 AP +10% CDR
  • 400 Mana Active : summon 2 special Minions, 190s CD, active disabled while either of the two minions are alive Revanant Warrior Minion - Melee, attacks deal 60 Magic damage, deals 160 magic damage to the enemy that kills it Revenant Archer Minion - Ranged, grants a 15% MS and 25% AS buff Aura

Bulids out of item 1026 + item 3108 + 1100 G

Ignas' Golden Spear

  • 100 AP
  • 300 HP Active : silence all enemies in a straight line for 2s, after the silence ends they take magic damage equal to 40% of the damage you dealt to them during the Silence duration, 220s CD

builds out of item 1058 + item 1026 + 1100 G

Berserker's Mask

  • 55 AD
  • 40 Armor
  • 15% Life Steal
  • 20% MS Active : increase your AS by 30%, armor by 10 and Life Steal by 15% for 3s, but silence yourself for the duration, 170s CD

Bulids out of item 1053 + item 1031 + item 1038 + 500 G

Slayer of the Legions

  • 40 AD
  • 35% AS
  • 10% CDR
  • 10 Armor
  • 15 MR Passive - increase Crit Damage by 25%

Bulids out of item 1038 + item 3101 + 1100 G

these arent the final numbers, just to give you a rough idea of the item and its Pros and Cons

what do you all think?

I like the core concept but i worry about abuse from certain champs

id want to see an item with negative cdr, just so i can ping Shen having a cooldown of like 500 seconds

I like the concept, but it raises questions.

What if you don't have that stat at all? What if I get your Necromantic Rites on Katarina or Mordekaiser?

You also do have to worry about abuse cases, of course.

Berserkers mask is cool. But im not sure any champ can afford to give up movement speed, its so easy to get kited as is, I doubt anyone can afford giving that stats up.

I think the items you've presented would be massive snowball problems.

But I do love the concept. The stat lines are cool; it's the other effects on these items that would break them.

It would be horrible Op on certain champs. Like for example get Necromantic Rites on vlads. You lose mana? No problem.

Ignas's Golden would be so broken on any burst mage assassin

The ideas okay, but the items you presented are horrible. Large rod + blasting wand + 1100 gold for a silence and 100 Ap but you lose hp. Berserkers mask is literally spending 500 gold for 5 ad 5% life steal and -20% ms... Then sure you get a neat ability but wont really matter because that ALSO has a negative of a silence so you can't even use abilities to stick to your target.

Slayer of the legions is "okay" but the item gives horrible stats for a late game item. The first one gives -mana which doesn't matter on like 20 champs, so vlad would prolly abuse it.

Necromantic rites looks really cool! But the minions summoned should be weak defensively. The ranged one, especially will be ridiculous if left alone.

Ignas's Golden spear is a big nope. Although it IS a skillshot, bursts mages should have the burst in their kits, rather than in their items (wouldn't like another support situation where all the kits are nerfed for the items).

Love the idea of Berserker's mask, but maybe it shouldn't give armour...

3 of those are straight from DotA.

The one that isn't is just a weaker season 0-7 infinity edge

Necromatic Rites looks pretty strong, especially for champs who aren't affected by the negative aspect.

Mordekaiser I like it

Glaricion10/29/2018, 8:09:25 AM1 votes

Necromantic Rites should be able to be upgraded twice, and on the final upgrade the melee minion should have true-true sight.

Other games have tried items with negative stats, but it turns out that they feel really bad and people don't want them. For them to be worth buying they would have to have really skewed stats and they'd result in more abuse cases than use cases. Frankly, the game is enough of a mess as it is.

I smell Dota2 items

Curse items already exist, it called item 3041

Most of these are just straight up copies of DoTA items

How about an item that reduces AD and AP to grant armor and mr equal to lost stats?
