How about it gives you a flat amount of cc duration, but also takes away the AP/AD scale for spells? (spells only do flat amount, no bonus now) | ||

You'd get the same effect of "pay money on a support to improve/increase CC" out of having a CC active item without creating a balance nightmare. | ||

Why would you want an item like that anyway? If they want to do something like that, they'd just do what they were talking about before and make CC scale with AP on certain champs, which is still pretty fucking dumb. | ||

But it still begs the question of what advantage there is to an effect that's more complicated and harder to balance than a stun/slow/silence on a stick. Like, if we're talking accessibility to players seeing the item for the first time, which is more sensible--"this item stuns for x amount of time when you use it on someone", or "this item increases the length of all your CCs, but you lose all your AP/AD/armor/HP/etc. scaling on all your spells for damage and secondary effects and the increased CC duration is variable based on how many targets you hit." Not to mention that being punished for hitting multi-target stuns is a case of unclear optimization. That idea goes against like every established Riot design principle ever.

The problem with CC scaling on AP is that there is no way to make it have a meaningful effect at low amounts of AP for supports without creating super degenerate cases with farming AP champs unless you create an extremely opaque and convoluted diminishing returns formula which is an insane burden of knowledge. | ||

Sure the pebble grants you some of the gold you miss but its a first back item buy if anything. You'll need the x2 health regen that dorans grants over just a pebble and by the time pebble pays for itself you probably lost your tower because you were forced out of lane early. I'm really happy with what Riot has done with the vision and gold items. Now I won't have to play dominion when I want to bruiser Taric! As for the new gold and jungle items on laners there is nothing stopping them from buying one. Hell, almost every top laner will want Shurelyas now since once you group as 5 you are not farming waves anyway and that rewards you with bonus gold. Olaf will rise to power in S4 since he likes the speed burst and cdr. Also normal games should be less trolly now that when you have no jungler you can basically farm up a second support in the top lane. And games with 2 junglers should also be fine now with 4 camps and extra gold. The banking system on SotAG might even spill over into dual junglers in ranked play since you can farm your half of the jungle and each camp a lane for XP. Executioners emblem doesnt look as bad as some of you have said. 50 extra HP on a Leona is going to be very nice early. Although I do believe that the heal mechanic should heal both players (2% isn't much) and the Healthbomb doesn't synergize well with a tanky melee support who needs HP to survive. | ||

Why don't you just create an item called Thor's Hammer. Have it upgrade from Phage and give it an active that states "Next basic attack stuns the target for 1 second. (.5 seconds for ranged) (120 second cooldown)" So much easier to balance. | ||

Also: The healthbomb is a temporary shield which if you're not at 100%, is going to net you more mitigation than the health alone would have since it's current health --> max health shield. | ||

But they can't call it Thor's hammer. Instead they should name it Super Ultron Boogie Cannon and make the target dance for 1,5 seconds. | ||

It's just a matter of writing description. Just throw some out, if players don't understand, they're gonna whine, then we fix ezpz until nooone whines anymore. Trial and error stuff. something like UNIQUE passive suckforutobuyAPAD: Disable AP/AD scaling while casting spells/spells only do flat original amount of damage UNIQUE passive cccity: increase the stun/knockback duration of your spell buy a flat amount of 0.5sec. The duration depends on the number of champion hit by it. | ||

The duration depends on the number of champion hit by it. You're still just ignoring the question of how this is better design than a CC active. And again, its still unclear optimization. Riot would have a fit over the idea of your stun duration being less for hitting a 5 person stun than for hitting a 1 person stun with the same spell. | ||

Although I do believe that the heal mechanic should heal both players (2% isn't much) and the Healthbomb doesn't synergize well with a tanky melee support who needs HP to survive. Emblem has the highest GP/10 of all of the items out of the gate too, so its tough to discount it. Executioners gives you Melee+5 gold/wave. So call it 20 gold for you for last hitting it and 25 for your carry. Philo Pebble gives you 12 gold/wave, guaranteed so long as you're at the wave. Kage's Pick is in the middle 30 seconds/wave so 18-30 gold/wave so long as you can Auto attack both enemies every 10 seconds but of course is only 6/wave if you can't do that. On the other hand you also get 2 GP/10 when not at minions which is a nice boon. That being said the real advantage of Executioners is that an ADC can buy it to give gold to their support. And they can do this and still get a relatively strong sustain early start since its pretty cheap. The 2% healing bonus/wave is not insignificant and will really help supports who don't have as much sustain stay in lane against heavy pokers.

She lost some of her heal and power chord damage, and her ap ratios are even worse (q +passive ap ratio is the same, R is worse), oh well, maybe taric and soraka are viable again I wouldn't mind going back to playing those. (tarics passive seems meh though, worse than it was before with no real mana items and just autoing for -3 seconds on heal, but who knows) Well Sona with items would be true terror(I mean just look at Seraphs/Lichbane Sona in ARAM) so I am not surprised at it. Especially since the new gold changes reward winning lane so much more this makes bully supports like Sona much much stronger. | ||
