And also people who use hextech win due to then having more items, effectively making them win because of item stacking. Hextech is simply too strong atm and has to be nerfed asap. 8 seconds is way too long.

"And also people who use hextech win due to then having more items, effectively making them win because of item stacking." ^ Hextech cannot make matches not about item advantage, because Hextech itself is about item advantage.

It's about positioning. If you know they have Hextech, just don't put two units with items right next to each other.

It's kinda silly that you're basically forced to run at least 2 Hextech, but I like what it's doing to the meta. How players position is more unique and varied this patch unlike previous patches of lining up or stacking in a corner.

There are some items that won't get affected by hextech that much.

It takes around 7 seconds or so for a champ to gain full mana, so if you are using morellos/Shojin/deathcap and (to some extent) seraphs you won't be affected as much.

Heck, I've gotten a good use out of double locket on a frontline whom were able to soak just enough dmg in 8 seconds for a giant shield to come back online.

Yeah but there are items that are more crucial like frozen heart, phantom dancer, rage blade, redemption etc etc that are made completely useless and all of your champions can die before that 8 seconds is over, especially in a late game scenario.

Make them disable items on both sides, problem solved, not mandatory anymore and high risk high reward comp.

At least that way it would actually be beneficial for the one with less items without being way too strong.

from my experience, it's the other way around. For people with many items it's easy to deal with hextech, just don't place them next to each other and it's fine. But if you don't have much items, chances are high that the hextech will target your main carry and shut you down.

you can just place one item somewere in the frontlines and stack the items backline since it will target the closest one it wont hit the important items

Is not the closest one, is at random, i had games where i had a 3 item champ in front of the 2 hextech of the other team, and they targeted my back line without touching my 3 item front liner.

well i guess i just got lucky like 3 times in a row

imortaloneAug 16, 20191 votes

yeah like it needs a bit more prioritizing... To make sure hextech gets the mage with 5 items sitting in the back row.. Without hitting the yas who doesn't have an item built...

Z3SIeeperAug 16, 20193 votes

Yeah it doesn't even prioritize hitting multiple targets or even hit two targets that are 2 hexes from each other. It just fires it directly on top of any random champ with items.
