There's nothing wrong with WotA, just it being capable of being stacked.

Because when you have 2 APs have them, and they both have 50% spellvamp, neither of them ever fucking die.

That's just stating the obvious of why it's OP *now* and doesn't answer the question of how it actually got OP.

It didn't "get" so OP. It has always been a great item (since the last change to it). Just that people are like "damn I don't want to waste money on stats for my team".
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Is it really surprising that the metagame moves slowly and even players near the top level are fairly resistant to change? This has been a recurring theme for a while now--how it takes an inordinately long time for people to realize how good certain things are.

Aura items are under-appreciated because most of the cost is put into team based stats. This makes them less desirable from a solo perspective. When you buy a Rabbadoodle Hat you see exactly what you're getting. But when you get a WoTA, you don't see the full effect on your own. In order to incentivise and justify the cost of team based items, they must be powerful as a result or else you'd rather just get a solo item for the same cost. It's the same thing with Aegis. It's a powerful item, but underappreciated.

The thing with WoTA though is that spellvamp is pretty powerful. On dual AP comps, it synergises so well. And if you have a AD Caster like Graves, it just becomes ridonkulous. Starks is much less useful to stack because not everyone autoattacks (hi AP burst casters without Lichbane core) but everyone likes pressing buttons for spells.

What above said, and also because spell vamp was the most unappreciated stat in the entire game for god knows how long. People finally realized how powerful it can be.

When I play Panth I really hope our caster or support will get WotA.
Btw, RogerX, it doesn't simply stack: it's just that the game makes a difference between an aura coming from yourself, and from somebody else. So the two people carrying it get double auras, rest of the team gets single.

Oh i see. Still very powerful.

Another thing is it seems the tryndamere QQ has died down quite a bit, what the hell happened? Lol.

He got an irrelevant nerf, so people stopped playing him as much? That's my best guess.

trynd is just a very specific pick that works only against certain lineups. and he fits best into pusher lineups which almost noone plays.

Re Trynd: Current philosophy of balance team is that Forum QQ sometimes raises legitimate issues but the extent of the QQ is unwarranted. So small tiny nerf tweaks make people feel like something has been done, make OP champs into slightly OP and everyone goes back to being happy.

In b4 Starks OP.

You're WAY too late on calling that. Not only did I claim that it is amazing for months now, I've even recently seen it in a CLG scrim (I think), rushed on Sona. People are already in the process of realizing that those aura items are crazy efficient.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
