Riven on paper would be great spell blade user, but since forever the only viable one was triforce, and that isn't viable at all for her. Sunderer looks like something that would fit her stat wise, but the 1.5 s cd is too high in light of her playstyle.. Since lichbane has now 2.5, and triforce scales base damage in combat, maybe lowering the spellblade cd on sunderer with haste/during longer combat is something worth looking at. I know it's doing alright, but it still feels kinda like it's only alternative for past triforce users, and nothing more (I think only gnar is sunderer user that didn't really build triforce before). This change could shift it more towards ability based fighters that rely on abilities and attacks weaved in between in quick succession.

Out of curiosity, how big is the disparity in Sterak's winrate between Goredrinker users and the rest of the champion base? I imagine getting 1-1.5 BF Swords from Spite during the passive is a huge spike to the item's winrate, especially when coupled with Last Stand for 11% extra damage

Hey are you guys gonna do something for us azie mains too or is it just gonna be like this untill worlds where it gets more nerfs and the. Gets a mini buff after worlds and so on. Or are you guys over there thinking of something. I mean, i dont know how many champs are like this T this point. But azir is the only champ to not have his ability tool tips updated so they shows how it scales. The whole azir mains subreddit is crying for attention cuz it feels like you guys forgot all about him and dont intend to do anything. Just want to know if its worth my time to play the game considering i love the champ.

To me it just seems way weaker than before because most champions who built it relied on the auto-attack reset. But if data says it's alright, then I guess I'll believe. I just don't see it too much outside of Warwick

How strong do you reckon Titanic Hydra is right now?

I think it would help if Sunderer was better for Ability Fughters. The Fighter mythics have a nice system to them where they fit a combination of niches, at least they did before they were changed to all be 20 AH.

Triforce - AS, Spellblade, Movement

Strikdebreaker - AS, Slash Active, Movement

Sunderer - AH, Spellblade, Sustain

Goredrinker - AH, Slash Active, Sustain

IMO Sunderer should fill both the role of Spellblade for fighters who don't need AS and for Ability Fighters as well. This could be done by modifying the Spellblade to better suite casters or adding a new passive that increases the damage of abilities for casters. Whatever could be done to give Ability Fighters another viable mythic that is on par with Goredrinker even though it gives AH for its Mythic Passive.

You mentioned pressure to build Goredrinker and that is definitely true because when playing Riven I really like Sunderer and whenever I want to build it or think ...

Man, I really gonna need to make you something for all your help, but here is one more thing, affecting her build.

Basically Guinsoo's Rageblade Seething strike does not work on her Q for two potentially core bruiser items (Ravenous hydra and Black Cleaver)

For reference, Tiamat and Titanic hydra work on it perfectly. (Image has Ravenous hydra and Black Cleaver to show the issue as well)

Have a nice day and a weekend!

For interest, which item should Ez then complete before Manamune? Only his Sheen upgrade, or something else as well?

Hey Phlox! If you are looking into Shyvana, can you address these two bugs, quoted from wikia:

• UNDOCUMENTED: No longer consumes an additional stack of 📷 Hail of Blades) while in human form.
  • Still consumes an additional stack when in dragon form.
• Despite being noted as fixed, still deals only 1 point of damage to 📷 Illaoi's tentacles and traps."

So basically dragon Q consumes more Hail of Blades stack than it shoud, and deals 1 point of damages to these things.

In the name of Renektons, thanks for your fix, it helped good old croc out <3

i don't mean to tell you how to do your job or anything so just take what im saying with a grain of salt.

the tying of the AH to the item did cause champions that traditionally were balanced around 40% CDR to heavily gravitate towards the item as the sole mythic (which i know is not your goal with respect to mythics).

champions like riven, aatrox, olaf, renekton who not only really benefited from the sustain the active + stats gave, but also really needed the AH, even if strictly speaking it was the worst option out of the others available.

for example if aatrox needed more mobility/catchup to especially squishy and fast targets, stridebreaker would be an option, right? but there's no need for aatrox to opt into that because a 25-40 AH item helps with both mobility and damage deficiencys - effectively creating the perfect item option for these classes.

I think maybe looking into buffing AH on other fighter items at the cost of goredrinker might be o...

any insight into why the armor and MR change was removed on the passive?

Originally posted by Quatro_Leches

can you please consider changing seryldas. back in the day you'd get LDR on assassins quickly to deal with armor, now you cant as the full item is too expensive. also possible increase it to the old value of 35% armor penetration?.

like. cost down 200g, armor pen 30%->35%. I mean the item gotta be looked at somehow its just too much. theres no reason to have AH on it either quite frank.

It happens to all of us. Programmers, Coders, Statisticians, Scientists...

At least this happened on a PBE deploy and not on Live.

Now, that Goredrinker change got to be a typo.

I mean, it already feels like it heals for 80% missing HP, but actually healing for 80%? Would wager that is meant to be 8%.

Our builds aren’t supposed to be that complicated but some people are still always taking bork second even though it’s not always optimal anymore. Bork was just so good for Jax.

Any thoughts on Jax?

Don’t mean to derail here but wondering if there’s been any talk around Zac? His self healing off blobs has been feeling rather down with the introduction of 60% grievous wounds and his clear speeds have been hit a bit with the changes to camps resistances this season.
