Stinger and Nashor's Tooth

Mecha MaIphite··15 votes·1,251 views

I don't know why, but it's always bothered me that item 3101 and item 3115 have pretty much the exact same icon, with a slight recolour. I don't think there's another item in the game that does this except for Sightstone (and Sightstone is flipped horizontally so there appears to be more of a difference). I know the icons for Black Cleaver and Ravenous Hydra got updated, and I was hoping that Rito could update these two as well, or even just one of them, to make them different from one another.

If you look closely, The Sheen and Bloodthirster are the same as well. Only its flipped as well as re-textured, instead of just a color change.

Honestly, Stinger seems like a relic item at this point, and it probably should just be removed, and Nash have its recipe changed to Recurve + Blasting wand + Fiendish Codex, which would fit in better with what it does as an item as you progress it, while also getting rid of the rather large power spike Stinger currently is in gold efficiency (For 600 gold you turn 24% AS (2 Daggers) into 50% AS, on top of adding 10% CDR. Effectively, the CDR is free when combining the Daggers. CDR is worth roughly 30 gold per 1%, so 300 gold in value on Stinger, meaning Stinger, a component item, has 129% gold efficiency). For comparison, most other mid tier items gold efficiency stats are 105% tops usually. This plays further into Nash Tooth's base 141% gold effeciency that scales an additional 12% or so per 100 AP. Nash Tooth finish also adds, at minimum, 27 base magic damage to your AAs, not counting any other AP you have from any source.

I agree, Nashors should unique. Maybe they could rotate Stinger and shove it through a yordle's head or something.

I mean, it's supposed to be a tooth from Baron. Why does it look like a sword at all?

Inuyasha's Tessaiga also.

It was forged from a fang of his father, a massive wolf.

It looks like a sword.

The same is true with the Tooth of Nashor, ne?

I mean sure, at least we know the Tessaiga was forged /from/ a tooth.

Nashor's though, off the top of my head there are a few quotes when you buy it that say things like

Ekko: "aaaaand now I'm fighting with teeth"

Omega Squad Teemo: "You got teeth? You've got a weapon..." And "Next time I see Baron, I'll pull a couple more"

Implying that it is a literal tooth, rather than forged from one.

can we update item 3117 first?

This is probably extremely trivial, but item 2009 item 2052
