Item Concept: Active Item, Every 60s Cooldown, Allows You To Grant Yourself A Golden Statue Buff Of Your Choosing

Lowkey good

Why is it an active? There is no reason to ever not use it off cooldown.

I feel like if you wanted to buy an item to give yourself statue buffs, you'd just buy an actual item with stats instead, especially since this would take an active slot.

If i wanted, say, the max ammo buff, it would take me 60 seconds to get +4% fire rate at a time. If I wanted to match the same ammo as Titanic Mag, which is +90%, I would have to use this item for 22 minutes. That's assuming I'm not dead, where I wouldn't be able to use actives.

Extra Health gives me 185 health. To match a tier 1 item, I'd have to use this active for 9 minutes.
Improved Spirit gives me 18 spirit power. I'd have to use this active for another 9 minutes, etc. Compared to just taking statues normally, it feels very unsubstantial and a bit tedious to stay on top of the timer / select your buff.

That being said, I do like the idea of being able to level your stats passively without having to spend any extra slots. Maybe a different take could be making it so the existing gold statues generate better stats when broken? This way, you're getting getting much better buffs when farming (something you'll already be doing, depending on the hero) and only lose an item slot rather than both an item slot and an active slot? Could even pair it with a stat/upgrade that makes the boxes better, too

(I like that you did the maths)

but you buy it for the ++1 spirit and also buy improved spirit.

but yea it should definitely be an item slot like trophy collector.
