Restorative Locket, despite being a diversely practical defensive item, still has a brutally low purchase rate.
(I believe it's the lowest usage item of any T1 or T2, currently. And it's in the top 5 of least purchased items globally, beat out only by three 6200 cost and a 3000 cost. All of...
Veil Walker is a very interesting item- it forces the user to think critically about their escape routes, memorizing the location of every cosmic veil on the map. When used correctly, it enables slower heroes like McGinnis to take more risky pushes by giving them a buffer to burn their shields...
There is always a use for debuff remover, but the use-case of debuff remover specifically only applies to fighting debuff kits and items. You would rarely ever rush debuff-remover against a low-debuff comp because even if they're buying debuff procs, they aren't going to be proccing for large...
Allegedly smurfing haze who is obviously at minimum ascendant in a low oracle match dropping nearly 100k damage, utterly bad matchmaking error whatever way you look at it.
RL value extends into the midgame, since it's relatively easy to build up 15 stacks and keep that in your pocket for emergencies. an instant 440 (or 600 with Healing Booster) is nothing to scoff at since even in lategame that's basically a free 20% health back. Fairly comparable to Divine...
I'm high oracle meaning I was already a low outlier on our phantom team, yet the matchmaker decided to put us against an ascendant team (with known cheater jonjon on it no less). Give me a break.
Now that I think about it, the item should also have a utility where the player does not have shields from any other item. So here's a passive:
Shieldsteal (1,250)
+12% Bullet Shieldsteal
+12% Spirit Shieldsteal
+100 Bonus Health
Passive (50s): Siphon up to 125 temp-shield by dealing...
Shieldsteal (1,250)
+12% Bullet Shieldsteal
+12% Spirit Shieldsteal
+100 Bonus Health
The Shieldsteal stat functions similar to Spirit / Bullet Lifesteal, but instead of converting enemy health into self-heal it converts target shields into personal-shields. It provides a niche no item...
Scavenger Rodents (3000)
+3 Ammo
+3 Health Regen
+3 Spirit Power
Active (30s): Summon a group of 3 spectral rodents that navigate towards the nearest (<20m) breakable objects and then return back to you with their contents. Duration lasts for 4 seconds, meaning some rats will be able to make...
Open a portal to space which slowly sucks all heroes, troopers and spirit projectiles upwards.
Moonshot | 3000
+15% ammo
+7 Spirit Power
Active (28s)
Open a rift to space above the target location. all heroes, troopers and spirit-based projectiles near the rift will be pulled upwards...
