With the pending dodge removal, some items are going to need to change. Namely, Ninja Tabi and Sword of the Divine. Here's what's currently up for testing on the PBE.
Summoners!
Two item changes are now available to test around with on Summoner's Rift:
Ionic Spark
Now purchasable on Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline
Chain lightning proc increased to 120 from 100.
Ninja Tabi
+30 Armor
UNIQUE Passive: Reduces incoming basic attack damage by 10%
UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2
It appears that Ionic Spark from Dominion is in line to replace SotD. I'm not sure how I feel about this. To compare the two items:
Sword of the Divine.
For 1970 gold, you get:
- 60% attack speed
- 100 damage proc on 4th attack.
- On active: 30 ArPen
Ionic Spark.
For 2300 gold, you get:
- 50% attack speed
- 250 HP
- 120 damage proc on 4th attack. (hits multiple targets)
So it comes down to
- 10% attack speed + save 330 gold vrs 250 hp
- 100 damage single target + 30 arp vrs 120 splash damage
Attack speed Volibear with Ionic Spark will be a ton of fun to play though. I'm going to try it regardless of how good it is or isn't.
The new Ninja Tabi look great though. They MAY be even a little too strong. They will continue to serve as a niche/counter item though. They should still be in a great place.
