I really like their approach to lethality items. If you have good damage and lethality, you will not have haste or utility and the same way around.

[@yurinabesima]

Also, Lethality now gives full value when bought regardless of level, so finally the early game burst oriented class can burst in the early game

[@Darknorth4444]

hey Vars, not sure you'll see this but the reason why unending despair isn't as strong as it seems is that it heals based off mitigated damage, so magic resist actually counters this! its very useful to know.

[@VarsVerum]

Good point. I'm so used to pre mitigation healing because of stuff like Divine Sunderer. The item specifies that it heals off 2.5x the damage dealt, not the damage amount, which means it heals less vs tankier opponents.

[@qwormuli77]

That seven seconds is also massive. You don't only have to survive more than fourteen seconds WITHIN the enemy team mid teamfight, but the enemy team would also have to survive and stay grouped for the duration for you to get more than one good proc. Needless to say, those kinds of fights don't happen.

[@biggiecheese2004]

@@qwormuli77the item is broken but also trash. on someone like Sion this item is completely aids. He will spam dive your towers and the more people go towards him, the longer he lives. He lives for absurd amounts of time compared to other tanks with this since he can force value from it. In a normal team fight it’s really fucking bad. Item probably needs a full rework already

[@Blackoutdmc]

Just tried it out in an ARAM on Morde. Looked good on paper, but yea it's healing effect is kind of complete ass. Even when hitting multiple champs at once. If the healing was based on pre-midigated damage, I could see it being very nice.

[@Darknorth4444]

[@bmac4]

I think something Im enjoying with these items is it feels like effort was made to make them a bit more specialized. Malignance feels useless on most mages but big for champs that can proc it regularly like Anivia, Swain, or Corki, or Malz like you said who can hold em down the whole time.

[@qwormuli77]

Not good on swain at all. The stats are fine, but the passive is next to worthless.

[@the_last_ballad]

​@qwormuli77 the ability haste or the MR shred? Because the damage isn't meant to be useful, it's meant to signify when people are inside the circle.

[@freshlymemed5680]

Its pretty good on Fiddlesticks. More ult cd and if you get the fear off then that's a lot of damage.

[@lorenzomeulli750]

I agree, but at the same time it still feels lacking. The idea of an item buffing your R appeals to many mages as well, the problem is that the circle is too small and entirely static to it just doesn't work.

[@MizuLis]

I think people sleeping on actual 20 haste to ult. Passive is just okay. But spammable ult that what makes this item good. Orianna, malz, ahri, annie and all other mages that rely on ult burst are just too good with it. Ive been rocking with companion for a while, but this obe is so much better.

[@Guppy_Na]

When not speaking about the new items, but changed existing items, I really like Zekes Convergences new passive, especially on Rell.

[@johnathan5906]

I was disappointed he didn't mention Zekes. It's really good now. Zekes previously was so useless. It was an inferior Evenshroud in every way. It was so common to buy Zekes and probably do less than 2k damage. Maybe even 1k or less. New Zekes feels better

[@tighegilmore9202]

[@greenpotato4796]

Kaenic Rookern is kind of a neccessary evil right now. As a Neeko main I wish it would just go back to the hole it climbed out of, since the moment an enemy builds this I become useless. But removing it means that exactly those burst characters will run even more rampant than they already do. Stormsurge is such bullshit that I often oneshot adcs on the same level with even just one Q, let alone a whole combo. So what needs to happen? Nerf AP items, so that MR items can go down to a reasonable level, but then AD will completely dominate so those need to be toned down too. Final Verdict: Everything does too much damage. Nobody likes a meta where it's all about one shotting before you yourself get one shot, which is pretty much where we are right now

[@mikeesteves8427]

the only people building it are people you shouldnt be able to oneshot regardless so i think its fine.

[@inplane9970]

Agreed. Damage creep has become so bad that even Enchanters have to build offensively in order to make an impact. It's either you die quickly, or the enemy dies quickly.

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

Hexplate is probably my favorite AD item for Master Yi since the stats are great for him and the addition MS and AS on top of what he gets from his ult means I can always stay with my target and Malignance is my favorite AP since I like mage champs with big impactful ults like Xerath, Hwei and Asol

[@dimitarkolev7594]

14:00 Played as Evelyn against a Rengar with Voltaic Cyclosword once. Homie bought that item and oneshot me 100 to 0 at 10 min for 0.97 seconds. I am yet to mentally recover from that encounter.

[@dephtcore]

Kaaenic Rookern is pretty op against evelynn and such, its pretty hard to get throught

[@jonathanrussell8998]

Good video, though I feel like Hullbreaker got changed enough to warrant a mention. The change in effects plus the removal of the requirement to be alone basically makes it an entirely new item even if it is still good for taking towers.

[@Astonthepunk]

shadowflame too. its a whole new item compared to hullbreaker. even though it still has magic pen, its no longer an antishield item, the way it is an execute item. deadly combo with stormsurge. i imagine hullbreaker to still be good on skirmishers like yas yone fiora jax or yi.

[@qwormuli77]

​@@AstonthepunkTo be fair, it never was an anti-shield item, it just pretended to be.

[@the_last_ballad]

​@@Astonthepunk it was never an effective anti-shield item, as all it did was give pen. If a shen ulted a low health enemy, the item might as well not have the sheild passive as you would already get the full pen for them being low. Meanwhile Sepents fang would remove a % of the shield, actually doing something in that situation.

[@Astonthepunk]

i fucking love season 14's items. idk if its just the new items/including the changes to old items/removal of certain items, or inclusive of the map changes, but every game just feels so much more refreshing than it was in season 13. even if you spam the same champ and the same items, it doesnt feel as stale as it used to

[@0llar]

I'm really liking the new season. Love how they slightly shifted the support meta and made strong supports that aren't usually up there like Maokai or Bard.

[@nechocat1234]

You may not remember but before mythic items bard was a great support with tons of build diversity even could use omnistone rune, but mythics ruined his diversity since none of them were a priority item for any of his playstyles

[@yurinabesima]

Some of my thoughts: - Malignance sounds cool but it is lackluster most of the time. The damage zone is fixed on the ground and is only generated by one champion (if your ult its AOE it just selects the closer one), which means it is very rare for multiple targets to stay on the area for long and that kind of defeats the purpose of the item. I suggest changing it to be like a Singed cloud and be applied to all champions (of coursez this would require nerfs like removing the resistance shred) - Currently there are only three Lost Chapter items one of them being Archangel Staff. I think having both Tear and Lost Chapter in the same item is kinda redundant, so I would move Lost Chapter to Cryptobloom - Cryptobloom is a fun item to help AP assassins survive, but I can't imagine it seriously competing with Void Staff and Stormsurge, so instead I think they should change it to a sustained fight item by removing Blighted Jewel and replacing it with Lost Chapter - Blighted Jewel should be placed in Morello, this way Mages have similar options to Marksmen when choosing between Dominik and Mortal Reminder (one item is penetration + grievous the other is pure damage)

[@pheonixryu6167]

Make Cryptobloom Ap Black Cleaver and I think it would have a better niche.

[@the_last_ballad]

Removing the resistance shred removes the point of the item, as the damage was only added on for a token amount to indicate whether a champ is inside the zone. Also the zone can apply to multiple champs, it just doesn't spawn another one if it would overlap(also, it has a 3 second duration and a 3 second cooldown per target)

[@CitrusThirteen]

I feel like fighters are really suffering this season, there are basically no sustain items anymore

[@jimjimmy8900]

Sundered Sky

[@tyo30ful]

Malignance is also good on swain since its has a constant ult you kinda keep burning them even if they move

[@Gentleman_33]

I really like how Riot has balanced the majority of the items, what I do not like is that for the most part AP champs feel like they have gotten the better items, with a few exceptions I feel like AP items are stronger than their AD "counterparts" and everything also feels like it happens, very fast, like Riot added the tank item that heals every 7 seconds but once the game gets going you probably won't survive 7 seconds if the enemy team has like 2 anti tank items and they also focus you

[@george5387]

To be fair though it's very early in the season,they will balance things out. Also mr items are significantly buffed,while armor items are nerfed a bit. So I guess that's why

Smolder probably wouldn't buy Terminus, because he doesn't benefit from attack speed as other traditional ADCs. He's a caster one and the only on-hit ability is his Q, which only applies on-hit on the target, but not to everyone.

[@duk6120]

I feel like cryptbloom is secretly broken because it only has 10% less pen than void staff in exchange for 15 haste and a potentially teamwide heal, but maybe the 10% makes more of a difference than I think

[@soulsemblance3163]

Agreed

[@larfee5191]

​@@soulsemblance3163 teamwide heal is useless. 10% pen is a lot, mr stacking is way stronger than armour stacking, and magic pen has been weak for awhile.

[@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904]

Depends. Against a teamcomp of 2 or more frontlines with MR stacking, Void Staff is easily the best option. Other times though, 30% magic pen is enough, and the 15 AH and healing is quite nice.

[@pedrovilasgomes9144]

I have just 2 problems with new items, we didn't get a grievous wounds item that gives MR, so tanks still are the only class that can't apply grievous by themselves, and the Masterwork items, mages got 8 items, tanks (Ornn's class) got 4, 2 for armor, 1 for health and one for Armor and Mr, why was unending despair made a masterwork and not one just for Mr?

[@karolstopinski8350]

It does feel like with the new items mages are more bursty and tanks more tanky. At least on ARAM as i dont play anything else. But it might be subjective.

[@lakeyyYT]

Malignance is espacially strong on Champs with long lasting ults, like Fiddle, Swain or Teemo.

[@darksplash873]

[@chifffy]

Cryptbloom also important for being the magic pen item with ability haste, 15 is pretty good

[@coasterthekid8867]

I think this will do a lot. I think it will really help diversify builds and hopefully encourage off meta and hybrid builds, but I also think there are a lot of champions that will suffer from having certain items taken away.

Honestly, cryptbloom might just be good on any mage, its basically void staff but with more utility, you lose out AP and 10% less AP pen but you gain 15 cd and a really good passive for team fights. I can see it being a clutch item for late game team fights.

[@FranciscoJG]

I'm just confused about some of their "revert" choices. For example, I remember when they removed Brutalizer (and 'split' it into Caufield and Dirk) saying it offered too much for an intermediate item. Now they just decided to bring it back without any elaboration?

[@SESThreeND]

i like the general idea of the items, especially the bruiser and tank options (except jaksho imo but i was disgusted by that item before already). same goes for mage items, but only when it comes to the general idea since currently it just feels like its impossie to win against most mages now, as long as they get like a 2 kill lead, which is something that should normally be able to get outplayes through picking a better teamfight champ/scaling champ, but it just doesnt feel like thats possible anymore. the big problem i have tho, which is a pretty low profile one, is that lethality senna is now barely an option anymore. i played locket senna before that, when the enemy team had a lot of dive/burst champs, but up until then it was more of an off-meta/situational pick. with the changes to the lethality items it just feels like that will now become the basic approach to playing her, especially with the youmuus/eclipse changes, its just extremely inefficient for her to stack lethality to make her lategame even stronger. these changes obviously come with making most Assassins less strong in teamfights/multikill scenarios, which is more than a fair trade of in a utilitarian sense, it just took most of the fun out of playing the champ that i basically onetricked until now. im just hoping that riot will find a way to get ability haste + lethality back into the game without turning rengar into a pentakill champion again, altho, if were being honest, he already is that rn.

[@Langharig_Tuig]

Also to add to all this: the removal of mythic items makes it so much easier for Rito to actually balance items. Wether they actually do that, we'll have to see, but at least now they can.

[@jamesoverbuild9496]

Something really cool I found is that Sundered Sky's empowered attack actually counts as a Crit, it's not only flavour text. The AA Crit animation plays, and the best of all, since Camille's Qs are designed to not crit (and after testing it myself, just to be sure) which means that the Conversion to True Damage can't happen at all, and neither the item's damage increase of 50% extra damage. She may still be able to use the item and get the procs in between Qs, but we will no longer have a Giga Turbo damage proc on a basic ability every few seconds. Who would have guessed, seems that Riot acknowledged the issue with Sunderer+Camille and learned from their mistakes. That or they will then want Camille to abuse the Item and let her Qs to proc the Item fully to make her broken again. I guess other champions with similar interactions with Crit items will also be affected in a similar way to her, but it is still cool to see that the item is really cool, but not broken, at least for now.

[@mikeesteves8427]

most likely this is unintended and they will make her empowered Q be able to crit.

[@larfee5191]

There was no problem with divine+Camille, there was a problem with divine. I don't see how you can compare divine and sundered sky, since one is an antitank item and the other is in-flight sustain

[@hp2102.]

as a top main i really think the current meta is garbage lets be real, "who one shots who faster", "support role" is just second ap mid laner (hwei, xerath, lux, zyra) because the best defense is a good offense, why have to worry about peeling, engaging or saving your team when you can just one shot cc the enemy from off screen or never let them play the game to begin with. zero skill assassin junglers are running rampant (looking at you nocturne, press r without ever considering enemy vision or proper gank/roam positioning and timing), from what ive seen in majority of my games and watching others, red side bot lane is nigh unplayable and if you're not playing strong early game adc's with a mage you're just going to lose lane. top lane is now no longer about freezing the wave and denying xp as you're just griefing your positioning to get grubs and allowing your laner to roam, especially since this ridiculous idea of top lane being "ungankable" discourages ally jungler interaction despite it being more worth it to camp top lane than ever now. if you're not playing the meta (any 52%+ wr champion) you've lost from champ select. and even if you are, the first 5 minutes of the game basically determine the entire outcome. laning phase is basically over at 10 minutes now, and I've never had so many sub 20 minute games until this season. i truly believe top and bot lane should switch, as grubs are far more impactful currently than dragons are. mmr and matchmaking is totally fked, i dont play ranked but yes, I'm "low elo", as my games have got anywhere from irons to diamonds playing in the same match. also aram is complete trash now and arena is gone again so there's really no point in playing unless your main is benefitting from the meta. plus with vanguard coming soon? yea its time to find a new game. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Storm surge into Shadowflame. If you can not oneshot the tank with that, just build a bit of magic pen or a whole full item since you'll be taking so much gold deleting the rest of their team without having to fear any counter. Done. Small but only recipe to enjoy this season.

[@larfee5191]

Unless tank buys a single Mr item and you deal no damage, the fuck is your point ?

[@AllegedlyDani]

Hwei was borderline unplayable for me before the items and now I’m like dominating lanes with him I love it lmao

[@murpl1462]

Profane hydra enables pyke mid from what I’ve seen

[@Alone-SF]

Man Titanic just isn't the same after they turned the passive from straight up AD to on-hit damage... I want heartsteel titanic combo on Sett to gain infinite w damage!

[@PyroAquaVentusDragon]

Also I don't think I've seen anyone talk about inervating locket. Not sure if this is because its not for Rift or we just forgot about. I just wanna hear more about it because its such an odd item and I wanna know who builds this. Ad item with catalyst. Let me know what you guys think, probably not broken but definitely unique.

[@larfee5191]

What is there to talk about? It's mode specific item which isn't supposed to be balanced around summoners rift

[@sortilien2099]

Lets troll builds. Malignance, hex plate Kayle or Shaco, the 2 passive cumulate they have different names. Cyclo sword Irelia, perma 100 physical damage on Q. Hexplate Mundo. Full ap eternal dispear Vlad. Double supp item Nilah Taric. Galio,Malphite, k'Sante ad terminus jak'sho hydra.

I really like the new season 14 items but in so sad sundered sky is bugged on renekton if you aa someone with w you don't get the damage or heal and the item goes on cooldown

[@titaniumarrow8357]

nearly every single one of my champs just dont work this season

[@rybazzz]

funny thing with malignance and annie is that tibbers procs it on AAs and its fucking ridiculous also it's just stupid for champs that spam ult- corki, teemo, i.e.

[@DzinkyDzink]

Sundered Sky deals 175% crit damage instead of stated and item tip calculation displayed 150%. Riot hosts a PBE for a month. Riot releases a clear coding mistake on live server. Sundered Sky loses to Trinity Force as #1 item because it's simply overstated. Why even bother with PBE?

Did you use more clips voicing or did it all at once it kind of sounds weird, at a weird pace kind of.

[@Korhi]

Honestly I like cryptbloom more for the haste on top of pen, with so much haste gone every little bit you can get matters a lot more. Other than that, I think Malignance should have a slight cooldown on it's effect, sure it's useless on mages that can't use it, but man is it awful on the mages that can abuse it.

[@gmvircallerdododoom]

im waiting on the cryptobloom meta, the 10% of magic pen you lose is only useful vs tanks and yes you lose 10 ap, but 15 AH? new itemization has even less than the one with mythics or mages so unless the enemy has more than 1 tank, crypto is way more useful

As a velkoz support player, I agree that zakzak needs a nerf, it’s definitely too strong
