Would the cap being at 60% be too much? I feel like even if you're Varus charging a full WQ on a blighted opponent, just 12% on QR (do blight procs count for QB ?) might not make up for the lost damage from IE (I mean, not that you'd ever go crit atm bc our magnificent lord and savior, AP Varus, and on-hit being just plain better than crit rn) Though I guess that's what pbe is for. Love that lost items are getting a touch-up !

I see. But does it have to be exclusive for it to be an alternative? I assume it has to be exclusive otherwise a majority of crit builders would build both, leaving really only 1 slot for different items apart from changing build order.

But even currently navori full crit has the highest dps out of any build on champions who’s kits flow with aa’s like xayah or lucian but is not built due to how expensive it is and the lack of utility/defence the build provides. So is it really necessary for it to be exclusive?

Sorry i just really like big damage numbers

How does it work with spells that can crit on their own while still counting as spells, like Zeri W, Samira ult etc? Do you get double benefit on those?

Any opinions on potentially making Energizer a more viable build archetype and not just a handful of different effects that just happen to share the same mechanic?

As it stands, Fleet kind of synergizes because the movespeed lets you stack it slightly faster but it's not really impactful enough to be worth taking on many of the champs who would like it for the Energizer portion, and instead is taken simply for the sustain. RFC helps a lot and is probably the most on-brand but because the other (only) two components are weak it's really only used as a general utility item. Stormrazor is very basic but very solid but is generally just too weak to be worth it atm.

Bringing back Statikk Shiv (for waveclear and teamfight damage) and/or another Energizer item, and making stacking Energy beneficial (maybe it increases how fast they charge?) would give a lot of champs like Caitlyn, Jhin, etc. a good alternate build path for their pokey and less DPS-oriented playsty...

ER Navori double crit cloak. Or Navori triple crit cloak.

Calling it now, something (either Lucian or quickblades) is going to get nerfed because of one of these 2 builds

In seasons 1-3 before anyone had the game optimized, jungle was more popular since the barrier to entry was lower.

how was this true? the list of champions who could even clear camps early was extremely limited whereas now its virtually every single champion on the roster. back then you needed to manage your spending around vision and your build, now you need to buy nothing but your build. and back then you needed to track timers without any in game tools whatsoever. but apparently more people played when the role was more difficult, and making it even easier now will make it better after 10 years of simplifying the role?

But why add specific timers for wards? I believe that change can be discussed. Better team communication? Well we have a ping, we don't need to know exact ward timers. It'll just slow down the game too much..

Reducing jungle leashing range (admittedly an obscure mechanic) and thus the difference between a practiced and unpracticed clear does make the role less skillful though. There are plenty of time when even pros dont execute the jungle clear correctly and you feel the difference between good and bad clears. Taking that away is taking away a means for players to differentiate themselves.

Characters that double camp will be likely tuned around single camping. While I 100% agree that skill will be removed by double camping being removed/nerfed, this optimization was one of the "very difficult to learn, especially within the game" mechanics that we were opting to remove for simplicity. If we find that Fiddle, Lillia, etc are significantly nerfed by this adjustment, they will be adjusted. The issue just comes down to these micro optimizations that are practically unlearnable for anyone not watching youtube videos in their spare time.

I believe the recommended pathing will be toggle-able in the settings so that it's not obstructive to those that don't need it.

These jungle changes imply 2 big worries for jungle mains that I don't see addressed anywhere in the post.

1. Decreased Leash Length: How will this impact champs who clear multiple camps at once such as Fiddle, or anyone trying to do Gromp and Blue Buff at the same time? I'm all for trying to make jungle more accessible, but if these changes make it impossible to take multiple camps at once, then that means these changes would be actively removing skill from the jungle.

2. Recommended Jungle Pathing: How "in your face" will the recommended pathing be in-game? While yes, experienced junglers will know when to deviate from the recommended path, if the recommended path is super obnoxious then it will make jungle incredibly annoying to play for people who previously loved the role. This could easily be fixed by allowing people to turn off Recommended Pathing somewhere in the client.

Any plan on potentially letting Senna buy this new Navori via her passive, or is she gonna also have to buy 60% crit with everyone else?

• Your abilities deal up to 20% (crit scaling) based on crit strike chance, likely something like 4%-8-12-16-20% (4% amp per 20% crit chance).

HI can you please explain this a bit? I'm so confused what this is supposed to mean. Thanks!

Do you actually think that this is enough for the ADC role? 0 new items in the two years since the item rework and only this 1 item change in the preseason for the role with some of the most static build paths in the game? How is that healthy for the role and what are you doing to try to keep players interested in playing if there's nothing new to be excited for.

Originally posted by dance-of-exile

Just curious as to why it's exclusive with IE. Is it because the combo would do too much damage? Or is there some spaghetti code holding you back from making it non-exclusive.

Does Trynd’s innate crit chance not work with this Navori, then?

Does this also mean Yas/Yone would also need 2 whole crit items first or does their crit interactions work differently?

Originally posted by LitCorn33

Wouldnt Lucian crit build be kind of op though, that buffs everything about his kit including the R ( amount of bullet and now actual dmge scales with crit too !)

I mean it's preseason afterall, it's the right time for that, its cool that this item gets changes because it's been pretty much unused since its very release.

This preseason looks pretty massive, lot of item changes I like it

I’m trying this with spellcaster Jhin 😒. Minefield in the botlane.

Does it work on Lucians R? This just sounds like something Lucian would love and a 20% dmg increase to his ult sounds bonkers.

Originally posted by shrubs311

are you guys concerned that people may not know the difference and buy it "improperly"? for example you stated mf above would be a good user - off the top of my head i don't know if q damage would benefit from this change.

Unreleated to this but why is the window for pinging enemy wards so long? 10 seconds is too much. Imo it should be that if a ward goes into stealth it is no longer pingable.
