[Item concept] Glacial shield -> Winter's wall

GamerThink··2 votes·345 views

(Another reworked old concept, open to suggestions and balancing)

PURPOSE: Another item from the item 3070 line, this is the missing tank variant.

GLACIAL SHIELD item 3462 (I'll use this icon in the post for the item) Build: item 3070 + item 1011 + 1250 = 3000 +10% cooldown reduction +400 health Unique passive - Mana charge: gains + 4 mana for each mana expenditure and every time is hit by an autoattack or spell (occurs up to 2 times every 8 seconds) up to a bonus of +750. Unique passive - Awe: gains 15% of maximum mana as bonus health

And the final upgrade:

WINTER'S WALL item 3112 (I'll use this icon in the post for the item) Build: from item 3462 when max stacked Same stats as the original item [mana bonus is +1000 of course], plus: Unique active - Icy spikes: for 3 seconds gains armor and MR equal to 2% of maximum mana and inflict [100% armor] damage to whoever autoattacks him and [200% magic resistance] to whoever casts a spell on him. Cost: 10% of maximum mana.

CHAMPIONS: Mana users always like items like this: Singed and to a lesser extent Ryze, Kassadin, Urgot (the latter don't usually build tank items; I really like the tanky anti-mage option of building item 3112 item 3001 item 3100 on Kassadin). Galio or Rammus can make a great combo taunting + activating the Icy Spikes. Any tank which uses a lot of mana can also buy this item (For instance: Malphite/Nasus +item 3112item 3075 item 3110).

REMARKS: Item build and stats are much open to be balanced, but this way the item is built from appropriate blue items and gives the following desired stats: mana, CDR and tankiness.

You are right... just collected taunting tanks without checking XD

Any constructive comment?

Actually, the price is quite in line with item 3040. But I have made some changes using your suggestions. Seems more fair now?

I'd like to keep at least 10% CDR, but of course just my suggestion, that would be the bonus for ability spammers (also, as every tear-item, it is lategame, so you are supposed to buy another item to get in range).

I know about kindlegem, but it's red! XD

You are quite right about the fast stacking, although you will more probably stack by taking damage. Dunno, I like the CDR idea, but I'm still willing to change my mind if the item gets more attention. The HP bonus and Icy Spikes ability, though, seem a very nice idea to me.
