is it just me or will this become the "Must have" item for all hunters and AAing Assassins? 40% speed and minion/ camp killing capabilities? if this can stack with golden bow it will be a beast in teamfights too
It sounds like it's a great item, but realistically, it might only serve a decent purpose for a few. Again, like he said, it might be good for Xbalanque, and in my opinion, Rama so he could save his Astral Arrows.
Though, I'd still like to test it on some of the other hunters. Who knows? It might be a great item for all hunters.
It gives nothing but attack speed, already turning it into a niche item, it gives zero crit chance, making it nearly unusable on the already restricted ADC build (Warrior Tabi, Deathbringer, Devo Gloves/Bloodforge/Asi, The Executioner/Titan's Bane, Rage are five items that are all completely necessary.)
To get it on the ADC build, you are sacrificing Sais, double lifesteal, cooldown reduction, magi's blessing, or even Frostbound Hammer. There are basically zero situations where you would take extremely minor AoE damage in exchange for any of the above.
Getting it in the laning phase means sacrificing lifesteal, making your in-lane experience that much worse, and it only delays getting the items you really want.
This item is essentially a copy of Dawngate's Resonance, only way, way worse. It is just teh bads. Even if they do switch to making it 50% of autoattack damage instead of a % of your physical power, it is still garbage.
They are either going to buff it until it becomes horrifically overpowered, and then / or remove it from the game.
I can see it being used on AS based assassins like Kali or Merc or such as a very *last* item. But because it gives no power it doesn't synergize with itself, meaning you need to stack damage, THEN go into it.
Baka stacks attack speed and one of his main sources of damage is an on-hit effect. It's terrible on him.
It's just a horrible item in general. 30 + 50% of Physical Power...at absolute best, with 30 from Tabi, 30 from a pen item of your choice, 30 from Rage, 50 from Deathbringer, and 75 from Heartseeker, you get a total of 215 physical power. With max stacks and a full build.
Which means your procs are going to be dealing 137.5 damage with each proc. Statistically speaking, with a 25% chance, that is an average of 34.375 physical damage per autoattack, BEFORE mitigation. Whoop de ****ing do. (With mitigation, that is around 22 extra damage, AT BEST.)
You can't get Sais, you can't get Golden Bow, you NEED to build as much power as possible to maximize the use of this item. And even with that, the returns are awful.
This item is just terrible and works on NO ONE. Do not ever use it.
XBal can use it, since his passive gives him +PPow.
Baka would probably use it just for the cheaper cost and high attack speed, to scale with his 3.
I tried it with Xbal and the proc was doing 100 ish damage, but yeah I would rather iron out crit chance or basic hit damage instead of grabbing this item.
It opens up for the possibility to skip Fatalis on Baka, so IMO it's not terrible on him. Ofc that means you have to go Sprint.
Fatalis got a better passive and is cheaper, but gives less AS.
I do not think anyone is saying that it is a good item x)
Give it the same price tag as Asi or even cheaper and it might be something you can use for the early-mid game. Or give it more than just AS :P
