Against champs, the fact that it does magic damage with no actual Magic Pen is going to hurt the item's usefulness as a real combat item. And it still shares Spark's problem of not having enough bounce range to farm smoothly, while actually charging up SLOWER than Spark in farming situations (Wiki says 10 charges per autoattack plus 1 more per 20 units moved--meaning that in lane farming situations you're going to take 5-8 autos to get a proc, as opposed to the 4 for Spark). | ||

It bothers me that it now takes 10 hits to get the spark proc. It used to take only 5. It feels almost like a nerf to me, unless I missed something crucial here. | ||

SS+Twitch+SotD+IE. Oh gawd, All that AoE, I'm just waiting for some op'd item combo to show up in a tournament, just so Riot will completely nerf it to the ground. I think the most interesting new Item that's new in this s3 is zephyr. I feel it'll be underrated for a long time, until someone finds a good use for it. Oh shiet, WoDx gunna try out WW+manamura next game after he does manamura Ez. It's so fun to watch all these new items being tried out by pros. | ||

Interesting pokemon should be brought up, because pokemon used to have an extremely defensive metagame and each generation after gen 2 seemed to favor offense more than defense. Kind of like how armor and MR got more expensive and AD got cheaper lol | ||

When I'm done with trying the 100000 other builds I need to try right now T.T This item seems really, REALLY good on Mordekaiser, or perhaps any other AP that does not have gap closers. | ||

The item is most suited for ganks, because in teamfights you're very unlikely to actually get the spirits to target who you WANT to target--but in ganks other heroes will be far away//this can scout for counterganks. But Mordekaiser's ability as a ganking AP is quite poor. He's most powerful as a teamfighter/laner, and the item's usefulness in teamfights is limited for the targeting issue I mentioned. You're never practically going to be able to use it as a gap closer in teamfights because the 2 spirits will pretty much always hit 2 frontline heroes unless theres some egregious positioning error. | ||

The item effect is useful, but they picked the absolute worst buildup for it. | ||

It's actually more of a laning item. You use to slow your lane opponent so you can play aggressive. | ||
