people going crazy over Athene's I just don't know. I don't see why you would get it on champs who don't already need heavy mana or mana regen items and even then on say Kog, or Kass, the fact that it has no baseline mana makes it still inferior to AA+RoA combo due to no actual mana increase on the item. Living Artilery spam for instance chews through mana so quickly I feel like base mana would be more useful in most situations.

idk I guess I'm surprised people are so exited for this item. When I heard they were making a new AP item I was really hoping to get a selfish upgrade for Revolver for bruiser top comps, and instead I get a wota nerf and this thing...

Kog nerfs are dumb, they need to nerf E harder at higher levels and increase range on Q or let it scale with level.

I agree with you 100%. If a hero already doesn't get chalice then I don't see why they would get this.

Kog nerf is dumb, esp because nerfing e slow makes solo lane kog even more risky than it already is, make his weakness weaker?

nerf base true damage on w and either (read: not both) hit the mana or the range a bit.

then with R

Increase the mana cap to 250

Edit: I also agree with the post below about ww, I was afraid to comment because I don't even own ww >.> but from observation it seems like the mana cost was already prohibitive the fact that they even hit the mana cost is baffling to me, it's like the recent ww buffs causing a lanewick resurgence was a complete surprise to them and they don't like/want him being used out of the jungle.

WW nerf is kinda huge, usually when they nerf spell damage it's something like 10-20 at max level, 2% max HP on a 1400 HP target is already 28, and it'll only become worse as they level up (tho this kind of scaling is through the roof on the remaining damage).
But his mana costs were already huge, and Q hard to use prior level 3, I'd only use it if really needed for sustain before level 5, now it'll heal less and cost more... I think it's a very significant nerf to his early game.

About MF, isn't it a nerf with the current AD marks trend, when you don't have any arpen aside from those 10% and your lane opponent is likely to run armor seals and thus have more armor than MR? At least in the early game. If it drags long enough for you to get LW it's not like you use your ult anyway.

Chalice will be good. Because it builds into something, which is the only limiting factor for chalice right now.
Triple Dring chalice will not only win you the lane, but also transition into lategame.

If they keep the current numbers, I promise that it will be retardedly OP on any mana-based AP mid (aka: not Kennen)

It'd be nice to have something else than Cap to build, tho.

why the fuck would you need a chalice if you have 3 drings?

excluding current chalice champions, which was never part of my argument

because you need mr/regen after already stacking 15mp5 and 240 health?

3drings along is already a pretty big commitment to lane dominance.

the FoN change is insane. I like all the item changes, the new one is basicly an indirect buff to galio and all the manahungry ap carries and maybe bruisers.

There is no FoN change. They just reworded the tooltip to be in terms of hp5. The numbers are the exact same.

Win lane


Not only does "win lane, win game" not always apply as many people think it does, but triple DRing does not necessarily win lane, especially in mid. Not only that, but 3 DRing into chalice is way overkill.

That said, I think this new chalice item will be very strong if the current numbers stay. I don't understand why they took the time to be like "We're nerfing blue buff to reduce the mana sustain in late game fights to make it harder for teams to push after a fight." And then and go make an item with a passive that restores obscene amounts of mana and will completely undo (even over correct) the changes made to blue buff.

I'm glad they're trying to do something with these mid-game dead end items, but I think they're going about it wrong.

think of it this way

old standard used to be RoA -> got shafted because games now increasingly decided within first 15~20 minutes
so people started going drings because drings are good and chalice didnt really build into anything
blue buff gets hit hard
they now give chalice a viable build path + drings have been nerfed for 20 hp each (small nerf but still !)

not much of a stretch to imagine that this new item will be really popular

The point is that you need to itemize, to commit gold, in order to have large amounts of mana regen, rather than simply grabbing blue. AUC competes with several high-end AP items (Deathcap in damage, WOTA in heal, Abyssal in tanky MR AP, etc.); the opprotunity cost huge.
