  • Having made the Forgotten Runes video a couple weeks back I decided to make a followup video talking about forgotten items! More specifically I'll be spending a lot of time talking about Ohmwrecker, the item everyone knew existed, but no one ever bought... like ever.

      I started to play LoL in the same season when Riot removed it. As a toplaner i absolutely loved this item. No matter what top laner i played, i always bought ZZrot. It was ALWAYS present in my games and it was satisfying to see my enemies strugling to decide whether they should fight me or my bugs.
      I know why it is removed, but it will be forever missed and forever preserved in my heart as the most interesting item in a whole game.

      Why does Riot feel the need to remove every way to interact with minions other than last hitting them? You used to be able to heal them -removed, could buff them with ardent, (and Janna could do that to turrets as well) -removed, could buff them with banner -removed, could fuck with minion waves and turrets with Zz'rot -removed.
      I'm pretty sure the only reason they haven't removed Sivir buff and Janna heal on minions is because they're tied to ultimates and they forgot those spells can do that.
      I just want to do wack shit with minions, damn it. At least give us a proper puppet master champ with other units you can control, but no. Gotta release more champs with cancer untargettable bullshit.

      The real problem IMO is not that there's 2 of them, but that their burn effects stack and aren't mutually exclusive. Tbh if they turned demonic embrace into a mythical item it would solve the problem of it and liandry being bought together, as well as maybe introducing a mythic option for bulkier AP champions like Gragas that don't wanna go neither full AP damage nor pure tank. Their AD counterparts have plenty of options such as goredrinker or even shieldbow, but AP champs not so much.

    Used to buy Zz'rot portal on him too, with Banner. Big ol' wave enhancement on one side of the map strat, while running back over with chimes to get back speedily to the teamfights...with Ohm still, lol

  • @Aequorin628
    @Aequorin628 3 роки тому +1

    The issue with sanguine is actually the lethality. Lethality provides much more damage to squishy targets than to tanks (which is why assassins love lethality). However, if you are split pushing the person they send to defend is usually not the squishies, it's the tank or the bruiser. Sanguine blade feels like a hybrid between an assassin and a split pushing item, and riot needs to decide which it is.
    I think it would be interesting if it gave move speed instead of lethality, so you can escape from people collapsing on your split push, but idk

  • @mozzy2968
    @mozzy2968 3 роки тому +1

    For Abyssal Mask, I've always thought it would be a cool idea if, Instead of just making enemies take more damage, it would lower their armor and magic resist scaling with your own. So the more armor you have, the more armor you remove from the enemy and the same for magic resistance. That would keep it a tank item, while also letting it scale better so it's a stronger item later in the game. Maybe make it steal the resistances instead of simply reduce them but that sounds a bit too overpowered so I don't think so.

    The rain man had an interesting strategy of building raptors cloak and spectres cowl, reason being that both items had a very high hp regen stat, but also that spectres cowl basically gave you a free second wind, letting him take very aggressive trades, back off and out sustain almost any opponent while having item components he would finish later.

    Hi, Vars! I play Wild rift, and i like LoL history. I was very surprised to learn, that Wild rift items differ from their PC counterparts. For example Abyssal mask: in WR it gives health, magic resistance, some ability haste, and 2 passives - 1 making enemies around you take more magic damage, and one giving you hp regen based on mana used, and mana regen based on damage taken. All this is perfect for tanks, especially ones that deal magic damage, and ones that have high mana consumption. It can't judge it's popularity, but i think it's a bit better than the PC equivalent.
    P. S. I really like your videos, and your soothing voice. Keep up the good work, bro!

    To make Sanguine Blade more popular they could give it an active that gives the user its 1v1 passive even if they're not alone for X amount of seconds, but lose the 1v1 passive if the active is on cooldown.
    That way it still retains its splitpush niche, but it can be used in teamfights if you need to group, or if 2 people answer your splitpush.
    Alternatively, the passive could be changed that it only sees if you are isolated from your team and ignores enemies. That way if people answer your splitpush, or a laneswap happens you retain the Sanguine Blade passive because you are alone vs 2+ people.

It was super broken in my opinion because you could dive, slow, and extend his ult with ohm wrecker and that final Q then back to full with Warmogs.

S11 have so much crazy items (Kraken slayer, Chemtank, Navori quickblades etc.) that these old items would fit perfectly.

  • @smugron1101

    Abyssal Mask should have an unique passive called "Nulled by the Void", it gives you a shield that allows you to ignore 1 hard crowd control effect with a cooldown that resets if you take damage, similar to the other 2 items that give some form of shield that effects abilities. And for Sanguine Blade, an unique passive called "Revel in Bloodshed" where when there are enemies that got recently hurt nearby you, you get extra attack damage and lethality. It would make it actually usable in team fights.

    I think it would be cool to have abysal mask have an active that duplicates the "mask" and you either can give it to a teammate or opponent. If given to a teammate it's a shield and stats if given to an opponent it is a grevious wounds and Stat debuff.

    although, more as a main item, i liked zz´rot a ton, i used it as the last item for tryndamere, as it gave good enough resistances while giving movement speed on turrets and more split pushing power, it was not the best for fighting, but the moment they stop paying attention to you, their tower started to fell apart

    What i'd do for adaptive helm is make it a bruiser/tank item that only gives tenacity HP and a little bit of mana, about 150 or 200, with the exchange that every time you take dmamge from all sources it'll get lowered for up to 40% magic damage and 25% for physical, either that or do a readjustment to transform adaptive into a MR thorn mail that applies grievous wounds to mages. For abyssal it's easy: just revert it to what it used to be, crysis averted.

  • @jimmyjinx01
    @jimmyjinx01 3 роки тому

    if they change sanguine blade so the passive works then there is only 1 enemy, OR no other allies, i think it would be alot better. The main issue i have with the item is if two enemies go to counter your splitpush you cant do anything because the item is deactivated. This would also require a change on the stats to make it lower so it isnt mega busted when you walk into 5 by yourself but it might work

  • @whoknows7415
    @whoknows7415 3 роки тому

    My idea for Sanguine Blade is as follows:
    New Passive: Damaging an enemy champion grants you 4 lethality and 10-40% bonus attack speed based on level for 3 seconds. Damaging isolated targets doubles this passive bonus and grants 3% bonus omnivamp in addition.
    The idea behind this change is to make the item more useful in all situations while still encouraging solo fights like this item was designed for.

  • @MikeB32280
    @MikeB32280 3 роки тому

    For Sanguine I'd add a clause to help it out a bit and see if it's alright.
    'While near two visible enemy champions instead gain 4 lethality and 10% − 40% (based on level) bonus attack speed'
    You can now sorta use it outside 1v1's, it's still not going to help in a team fight, has some counter and might not be weak as shit if you buy it and the enemy jungler takes that as an invite to live in top lane. It still wouldn't be made for everyone but it's still a strong early item and might help enable split pusher from a macro prospective as you can draw that much more pressure if you're pulling it off.
    It still might not be enough but could make it more niche, likely more of a solo q pug stomp item and I'm not sure how fun that'd be to play against.

For abyssal, maybe making it like gargoyles and giving it dual resistances or making3% of the damage after you immobilize them true damage or something like that. For sanguine, you could just bunker down on the 1v1 or 1v2 idea and make it give no stats unless you are around 0-2 players and then make it for splitters through atk speed and vamp.

  • @gabrieldoyen692
    @gabrieldoyen692 3 роки тому

    Sanguine Blade's passive could be changed into making it so the bonus is lost when close to 2+ allied champions instead of 2+ enemy champions. It stays true to its identity as a duel tool, since the bonus stats aren't that relevant when you are Xv1 you are almost certain to kill your opponent or at least make him flee, and become a much better tool for assassins and flankers since it allows them to kill better an ennemy trying to stay hidden inside their team while your own team is not present.

  • @RprShadow
    @RprShadow 3 роки тому

    I think a really simple fix for sanguine blade could be to change its passive stat boost from triggering with a single enemy nearby, to making it trigger when you have no teammates nearby.
    If gives you more control and peace of mind when the passive will or wont be active and reliable. Yet still fits into this playstyle of split pushing or looking for dangerous solo plays. And still has clear counter play in that the person using it MUST be alone and therefore must be leaving their team vulnerable to 5v4 situations.
    The split pusher gets their special item, and everyone would have a clear idea of what that item does and what it means.
    It would be much better than people trying to use it to split push now, then 2 enemies show up and suddenly youve lost your items power. Currently Sanguine blade almost punishes you for split pushing and rewards deathballing with a pick playstyle. Using a blitzcrank or whatever to isolate a single enemy.

    Abyssal Mask is key on Mordkiser since it increases magic damage taken, aka Mords passive. Couple that with Crystal Septor to slow enemies so they can't run away from you, and now they are taking more damage, all % HP damage, and its increased by Abyssal. However, if there are no AP/magic damage on the enemy team, its a little less useful vs more armor since its a full AD team. Mord is one juggernought where you can go full on hard tank (getting only Crystal for damage) and just 1v9 everyone.

    I think the main issue with adaptive helmet was that riot made it way too specific.

For example fighting cassiopea as a tank. The longer you fight the less magic damage you take.
