Hello guys, I'm here to talk about the new Heartseeker.
HR said they made it to help jgs with 2 things:
Keep them relevant late game
Avoid bruiser builds (build full power)
We already saw it at the end of season 5 and now through the entire season 6 that all ability based jgs (the giant part of jgs) falling late game, becoming impossible to kill 1 or more enemies late game without die in the process so people started to build more bruiser (a bit less damage but with more defenses) to at least survive the deadly late game of a mid or adc and maybe even try to beat them.
The new heartseeker comes to give these kind of jgs some extra power to still relevant late game and still able to do what they used to some patches ago, build full power AND STILL BE ABLE to do something late game.
But the question is: Do you believe HR will make it with Heartseeker? Or do you think Heartseeker will still away from most part of builds? Or even it will be functional just in some specific gods?
The new HS stats:
Cost: 2900 Gold
+ 75 Physical Power
+ 10 Physical Penetration
+ 200 Mana
+ 20 MP5
New Passive
Your abilities deal an additional 3% of the targets maximum Health as Physical Damage. If you have over 200 Physical Power, your ability bonus damage scales up. This effect reaches a maximum of 6% Maximum Health damage at 400 Physical Power.
NOTE: This passive works similarly to Soul Reaver. This effect can trigger one time per ability per god. It does not however have Soul Reaver's decreased damage on subsequent triggers.
as far as i understand it, it shall be the equivalent to soulreaver. A thing that so far only Ao Kuang or a Guardian-on-Steroids (aka Ymir-Jungle etc.) could use.
under this light, it seems kinda fair to give physical junglers a similar tool too.
don't know how much other Physicals (ADCs / Warriors) can profit from this, as Kriega mentions already. (King Arthur)
all in all, i am not sure if more-of-everything (more Damage, more CC etc.) is what we need but then again, it's just an impression from a Player who can't have much experience so that's just some thoughts here.
