LMPN: Items - Final Vote

We're finished with the Let's Make Patch Notes - Items, and this is the final step of that. We're here to refine the suggestions we made.

Here's a list of the things that need to be refined:









Note: I will add more later, once we are done with these issues.

For Gem, I vote for options 1 and 2.

For Breastplate of Valor, I vote for both, 65 protections and 20% CDR.

For Valor I'd say 55 protection and keep the 25 cdr.

For the slows I don't get no.1: What if it's Guan's ***ualt, where it hits more than once? I think it may not be possible for that.

For multihits, the slow gets reduced. Its basically the opposite of option 4, instead of a slow that gets stronger with multiple hits, it gets weaker.

I did that so a Tornadoes won't lock down an entire team.

For Gem: 2 & 4
Breastplate: 55 protection. I just feel that with the recent buff the Chronos' Pendant, slightly reducing the protections is fine.

Damn, we really need more people voting on this, because our answers have been everywhere.

I don't vote for a nerf to the CDR on breastplate. Reducing it to 20%, with boots, gives you 35% CDR. Where are you going to logically get 5% from? Just leave it at 25%. It's protections is fine for me. Breastplate was never necessarily OP, Chronos pendant was just UP. Now they're fine.

Polynomicon, I'd like to see that base and scaling. I juts don't want it broken early game and worthless late game, and vice versa. And first attack, not first hit, is going to ruin the item.

The change to Telkhine's and Mystic Mark are pretty much null. You're talking 10 damage per hit or per second late game. That's really nothing. I mean it does need to scale, but that's meh.

For the slows, I vote option 3.

I'd rather see CDR as a whole to be nerfed. It's a bit too efficient of a stat for me. Why should a mage get Breastplate of Valor and pretty much the same defenses as Hide of the Nemean Lion?

It wrecks item balance. No one ever bothers with Midgardian Mail or Hide of the Nemean Lion or Mail of Renewal because CDR has become one of the strongest gold-per-unit stats in the game, and it does so much. It increases damage, it increases survivability, it reduces your downtime between bursts, on top of the stats you already get from the item.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it's the other items that need a buff.

But I'd rather see less survivability on mages over more. That's why I want to nerf Breastplate of Valor, and why I am fine with Chronos' Pendant. Because mages like Agni and Scylla and Ao Kuang do not need 75 protections on top of dealing stupidly high damage and strong CC.

Agree on breastplate, either reduce CDR to 15% or reduce protection to 50 or do both and reduce cost by 50 or 100 gold

Edit: i would like to mention reinforced boots too. They are too expensive to buy. They were my favorite with tanks but now hav hardly seen people buildin it.

Okay...moving on. I'm just going to put Gem of Isolation and Frostbound Hammer as "Inconclusive: No Majority Reached."

Gauntlet of Thebes Time!
