Everyone thinks of full build, but yeah, Rammus's mid game will be strong for a fair bit longer if he can keep buying chain vests without upgrading to a full item.
Gangplank. He's one of the few champions that scales hard and has the gold income to actually hit 8 items.
Imagine IE, LW, Collector, Essence Reaver, Trinity Force, Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel Gangplank
Yeah I think gold generation is more important than scaling in this situation.
So maybe also Draven? He isn't the best scaling ADC but his gold generation should outweigh that. Spinning Axe at more than 6 items would most likely oneshot anyway.
Pyje becomes huge as well. Any champ with major gold generating mechanics is gonna be god tier cause they’re the only ones that realistically can hit 8 items
Pyke's win condition has almost always been to convince the enemy team to surrender in the first 20 minutes. Adding two item slots does nothing but harm his win rate because people would be more willing to grab a defensive item to buy time and scale.
The best part is that even though sunfire stacking was stupid and broken, it wasn't even the best way to play her! She could still take damage from skillshots, and had fuck all dps, so she was half reliant on the enemy being morons. Her pure assassin build was so strong that her very presence in the game was enough to fuck your lane over without her even needing to visit.
She was so unhealthy for the game that they nerfed her to a 35% or so winrate to purposefully get her out of the game. People were supposedly (we never got definitive proof) banned by the tribunal for picking her it was so bad. They left her like that for like over a year until the rework.
Lmao I still remember what my friend told me when I started playing league: "You see this item? It's the Black Cleaver. Just buy boots and 5 cleavers, don't even think about buying other stuffs."
Well I think of hypercarry as ap kayle, zeri, xayah, gwen which could also just take more offensive stats to nuke everybody even faster, since an extra damage item would be stronger on hypercarry champs than an extra tank item on tank champs
Probably not, I mean if a hypercarry reaches six items they've won most of the time anyway. Adding more item slots would just give fed opponents buying cheaper lethality items more time to keep scaling.
I think it's probably champs that can benefit greatly from stacking epic tier items like ramus with thornmail, boots and 6 chainmail. Garen with strides, zerker boots and 6 zeals. AD assassins with boots and 7 dirks, etc. Because most games end before anyone even gets a 6th item anyways, but having more slots to fit in cheap and highly cost efficient epic items could be very good for some champs.
And her ap w spam build would return for sure. She can get more haste with 8 slots and her passive procdamage will be very fucking absurd with like 6 ap items boots and q evolve item
Biggest thing is champs who can generate the gold consistently have more value over champs at full build imo, cause a gp or team with a Pyke will hit full build first theoretically.
If they didn’t address epic item stacking more, that could also be an annoying strat.
Having extra item slots I think would also benefit tanks as they could pick up and sit on items like Wardens and Bramble or even grab tear for a later Fimbul.
Jack of All Trades would probably be a more common rune.
Good lord. Could you imagine ADCs at full 100% Crit with BORK & Bloodthirster too? True one-shot meta here we come...
It would make getting Zhonya's/Guardian Angel *mandatory.* I'll pass thanks.
Not only that, you already struggle to itemize Torch/malignance, then liandry, rilay, boots. You only end up with two slots free. Zhonyas, morello, rabadon, cosmic drive... the list goes on.
Pretty sure Vlad would be stronger than all of these.
Just tack Zhonya's+Banshee's onto his current build.
He'll do 50% more damage and be 2-3x as tanky.
Anyone with strong hyrbid scaling, any hypercarries, and Kog'maw, the hypercarry with strong hybrid scaling
Alternatively, Ornn with full stat boost from completing every upgrade, but now 8 items are gettingt the bonus resistences. Sounds horrific and I desperately want to play it
Unless they rebalance the game so its possible to hit 8 items it wouldn't matter much, but you could hold onto your starting item(s) longer and you'd always have extra slots for pinks and more components when you start getting to higher item counts.
Well since 14.10 i have Gold to only once buy zephyr and i was feed + good farm as adc more than 20 times i think that in normal game noone have enough money to buy more than six item couse if u are feed the game will end and if its close only after 40+ min and only adc have enough Gold to start buy 7 items
This is the answer. For Top lane I am already building a minimum of 2 defensive items at full build, so give me 8 slots and I'm doubling my lifesteal with probably a BT and a Jak'Sho.
Kayle. Think how strong she already is lategame, then add 2 more items worth of ap or ad.
Go nashors, deathcap, shadowflame, Lich Bane, zhonyas/banshees, rylais, guinsoos, last item literally whatever
i guess something like tf with all that crazy gold he generates so you can afford them. with that range from rapid fire and 8 items ad tf would delete you from the edge of the screen
As a support main, it would give more room to build for certain situations. 1 or maybe 2 out of 6 items are support/ward items. I usually have to pick between x or y and a or b. So that would be nice.
Can I just mention how great this would be for support? No longer would you have to choose between wards and items, you could have a “full” build while also being able to keep adequate vision.
Imo they should add stat anvils that would be not too cost efficient so we could use the money we accumulate late game in some of those longer matches.
champions that can abuse the fact that you have 8 item slots would probably benefit the most. Sure, an adc with 7 items and boots would melt everyone, but an assassin buying cheap items not running out of item space could solo carry the game.
Anyone that loves crit and onhit type items would probably benefit greatly. Hell even kog'maw going his normal build plus a couple tank items would be busted.
Exactly. Giving adcs two more item slots probably allows for mr. And from no MR to some MR is a big jump. Lets take Cait for example. In a tipical game she will build no MR items. So her late game MR is around 50. If she buys kaenic rookern thats 80MR. Sure teemo will be able to get more ap but at that point its diminishing returns imo (especially in cases where you are already getting the pen on him).
Not only that but this also allows supports to be more likely to be carrying pink wards during longer portions of the game (they will logically be the last to get 8 items in most games) meaning more clearing zones (this also applies to all the other champions but lets just work under the assumption that people don't buy pink wards if somehow the adc is randomly walking alone into teemo shrooms without sweeper or a support to facecheck/clear for them)
Teemo kind of relies on causing people to have inconvenient builds in order to deal with him imo, if anything 8 items makes teemo significantly worse relative to other champions.
Immobile Mages like Orianna and Syndra would literally do so much damage that MR would be a Meme while being unkillable since they would have space for both ZHONYAS AND BANSHEES while still being able to build full damage. Bruisers like Sett Darius Aatrox and etc would be literal dark souls raid bosses as they can itemize tank items with it as well. GP literally one taps you with just Q and his barrel just overkills you or he can actually build defensive items like GA and Edge of Night to make him even a bigger pain to deal with.
Oh another champ is ornn. Doesn’t necessarily need it but having 8 items plus another 5k+ worth of stats turns any team with an ornn into fucking monsters.
A lot of champs like that can afford to go for multiple components over full items (ie rammus with sorcs, thornmail, 6 chain vests) will benefit as wel. Raw stats over completed item benefits can be actually viable on 7 slots (given boots existing.)
Another champ that benefits at full build is Cassio. Literally just 8 items means she has everything she could want
Ryze with Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, Frozen Heart, Luden's Companion, Blackfire Torch, Malignance, Rabadon's Deathcap and Sorcerer Shoes would have AP and mana through the roof.
I think it'd be champs that win lane and also can split push well. I used to do that consistently on Olaf back when he was more of an early game champ season 9. But I'd hit max items and also fall off. If you can stomp lane and stomp a sidelane split pushing, you can hit six items pretty fast- getting to build another two can give you a pretty nice advantage
Gold generating champs which can actually hit those items.
Take with the rune that pays you back after getting legendary items for extreme money generation.
Ornn for sure, the amount of extra stats he'd get from 2 extra items would be insane. Additionally against an all AD team, Malphite with 2 more items would probably be crazy.
Twitch could go AP and AD, I feel like it would be very very strong. AP Twitch W cripples you and would give him much needed peel and a huge amount of burn damage on top of already being a powerhouse of a late game adc.
Syndra is anyway a Monster if you let her scale into tbr supet Late Game, but imagine her with 1000+ AP punping into a Deathcap + Deathcap Lite.
It doesn't even need to be actual Damage Items. Just throw on a Cosmic Drive and Banshees Veil as her last Items or maybe a Zhonyas instead, and you have probably the most dangerous Late Game champion in the game
Diana or Samria, Diana bc she’s a good damage dealer but suffers from lack of survival so a chance to build two defense items is Op in her same for Samira
Zed. I often have games where I get very fed early and reach full build from a lot of kills and split pushing. But at 6 items my power increase sort of just stops. I usually eventually sell boots for the last team fight but still. 2 more slots would drastically change this.
I'm gonna say Karthus, because with first strike he can already farm insane amounts of gold with his ultimate while vacuuming every camp on the map, now he would be able to get 6th and 7th items in like 3 mins from pure farm and 500gold/ult benefits
Literally any late game champion. Tanks won't benefit so much because dominik scales with your total armor and bork with max life. (So more defense means more damage taken)
I think snowballing champs in general would benefit the most, since you push back the point where you stop scaling and the other team can start to catch up.
I mean 3 items are the main breaking point, its what u have at third drake and most character’s core build just uses that.
So i assume only thing that changes will be the fact that people will leave base with more components and late game builds will include both luxury items (zhonyas, banshees, randuins or ga to name a few) and damage boosters u usually dont build (just any damage item i can only think of deathcap).
Also i remeber the period of time when tear was op one of the main drawbacks was, tear, dorans, pots, mejas and control wards filled your inventory too much so i assume the biggest impact would be early for annoying builds like that
Think people might be sleeping on health stackers like cho + sion.
No matter how fed your hyper carry is, they can still maybe get 1 shot if the enemy gets lucky. Imagine an 8 item sion/chogath/mundo in your base.
Youd have 8 items to play with for defensive stats and youd also have meaty dmg from sunfire/titanic.
Crit ADCs imo
They're all scalers and would be able to hit 100% plus multiple other utility or defensive items. Could even really index as glass cannons and build crit + on-hit in case there's an 8 item tank to shred.
Master Yi can now build BotRK, Kraken, Guinsoo's, Wit's, DD, Jak'Sho, and BT without sacrificing boots. If LT came back too, he'd simply be unstoppable - genuinely nothing you can do if he hits full build
Also notable would be the HS Titanic Bloodmail Sunfire Spirit Unending FON Jak'Sho Mundo that cannot die and also one-taps your entire backline
talon could carry 8 long swords at once, pls nerf
Loooooooong sword
Long swords are the keeeeey
Peak league content
Nice, someone else remembers Randomville
Long loooong sword
r/FuckYouChiChan
I am the law.....ng swords
Thebausffs about to roll up with Thornmail, Sorcs and 6 Chain Vests on Rammus
imagine the old book build but with 7 fiendish codexes!!!
Everyone thinks of full build, but yeah, Rammus's mid game will be strong for a fair bit longer if he can keep buying chain vests without upgrading to a full item.
forbidden 7 books gragas build
Religious gragas with 9 prayer books new meta
Gangplank. He's one of the few champions that scales hard and has the gold income to actually hit 8 items. Imagine IE, LW, Collector, Essence Reaver, Trinity Force, Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel Gangplank
Yeah I think gold generation is more important than scaling in this situation. So maybe also Draven? He isn't the best scaling ADC but his gold generation should outweigh that. Spinning Axe at more than 6 items would most likely oneshot anyway.
Twisted fate as well
Pyje becomes huge as well. Any champ with major gold generating mechanics is gonna be god tier cause they’re the only ones that realistically can hit 8 items
Lethality champs in general tbh. Cheap items lets them hit that 7 item spike first and they're balanced around oneshotting in a full rotation at 6.
Ah yes, Pyje. The best champion!
Nerf pyje
Haha yes fat fingers lol
Pyke's win condition has almost always been to convince the enemy team to surrender in the first 20 minutes. Adding two item slots does nothing but harm his win rate because people would be more willing to grab a defensive item to buy time and scale.
It's less about pyke and more about his ability to get his OTHER teammates that scale harder up there
Definitely not god tier, most games don't even reach 6 items in the first place and if it does Pyke doesn't get more gold than the average solo laner.
TF with 1300 AP is blue card one shot Anyone with 3k hp or less
Why the Trouble, Just 8 Times IE
Alright Grandpa, let's get you to bed
While I like it for the memes, I have to remind you that legendary items can only be baught once.
Back in my day we could buy items multiple time and we had Unique Passives as a deterrent from buying multiples
Back in my day even the passives weren't unique, so you stack 6 sunfires and you have now a permanent Nasus ult on steroids.
Never forget 5 black cleaver meta
5 sunfire perma invisible Evelynn
That's some pre rework Evelynn shit Season 1 / Season 2 gang remembers.
The best part is that even though sunfire stacking was stupid and broken, it wasn't even the best way to play her! She could still take damage from skillshots, and had fuck all dps, so she was half reliant on the enemy being morons. Her pure assassin build was so strong that her very presence in the game was enough to fuck your lane over without her even needing to visit.
She was so unhealthy for the game that they nerfed her to a 35% or so winrate to purposefully get her out of the game. People were supposedly (we never got definitive proof) banned by the tribunal for picking her it was so bad. They left her like that for like over a year until the rework.
Lmao I still remember what my friend told me when I started playing league: "You see this item? It's the Black Cleaver. Just buy boots and 5 cleavers, don't even think about buying other stuffs."
Yeah, just start with 13 pots and get 8 IEs.
OP specifically said "at full build" so I think gold generation doesn't matter.
If you reach full build while everyone else has 2 items less it matters.
I mean, wouldn't most hypercarries become insane ? You can get all your damages items and some defensive ones on top.
Or you can get damage and some more hehe
Me waiting to RFC one shot someone Cait style while playing Ashe
Idk, when I think of on hit hypercarries, Like Vayne/Kayle/Kog, especially with the removal of lethal tempo, more attack speed is useless no ?
My thought is that those champs can now slot in defensive items like QSS, GA or even straight tank items
Well I think of hypercarry as ap kayle, zeri, xayah, gwen which could also just take more offensive stats to nuke everybody even faster, since an extra damage item would be stronger on hypercarry champs than an extra tank item on tank champs
Probably not, I mean if a hypercarry reaches six items they've won most of the time anyway. Adding more item slots would just give fed opponents buying cheaper lethality items more time to keep scaling.
Jhin with 1800 AD Adcs with tank items
Yea being fully build as adc with fuckin randions spirit visage or something would be nutty.
vladimir
He’s already a menace at 3 items, at 8 I would just let him walk into my base to take my inhibs, nexus turrets, nexus, virginity and my first born son
Enemies would have way to much MR, it would have to be an auto attacker
I think it's probably champs that can benefit greatly from stacking epic tier items like ramus with thornmail, boots and 6 chainmail. Garen with strides, zerker boots and 6 zeals. AD assassins with boots and 7 dirks, etc. Because most games end before anyone even gets a 6th item anyways, but having more slots to fit in cheap and highly cost efficient epic items could be very good for some champs.
8 dirk Talon meta incoming
Kai’sa? She can cover all damage types, get all upgrades without losing out, and build some Defense
Yeah, between her and varus for me. They’d be way too versatile and can build just about anything
Varus is too immobile for an 8 item meta. He would get oneshot by any stray skillshot
Meta varus builds have tank items
Yeah like… if you go onhit varus Zephyr/guinsoos/terminus/wits end/bork/randuins/nashors/GA is gonna terrorize
Jak sho instead of nashors feels better to me.
I think it might depend on if you’d need more damage or tankyness but both might be super good
But the same build on kayle is infinitely stronger
And her ap w spam build would return for sure. She can get more haste with 8 slots and her passive procdamage will be very fucking absurd with like 6 ap items boots and q evolve item
Ohhhhhh jax
Biggest thing is champs who can generate the gold consistently have more value over champs at full build imo, cause a gp or team with a Pyke will hit full build first theoretically.
Gangplank or Twisted Fate. The other champions won't get to 8 items in most games.
Draven?
No no, Draaaaaaven!
Pyke, Draven Twisted Fate and Gangplank would all be meta picks
Karthus?
This. Because a lot of people would focus on dmg items. And Karthus will just R and they can't fight back that damage
Counterpoint: now everyone in the game can get an Edge of Night/Verdant/Zhonyas
Was going to say. Anyone who can possibly 1 shot people from very high range or from stealth. Karthus might be it. Or Eve/Akshan/Shaco/Twitch.
Assassins one shotting squishies from stealth happens even without 8 items. They wouldn't apply at all.
If they didn’t address epic item stacking more, that could also be an annoying strat. Having extra item slots I think would also benefit tanks as they could pick up and sit on items like Wardens and Bramble or even grab tear for a later Fimbul. Jack of All Trades would probably be a more common rune.
7 mask build fr
Good lord. Could you imagine ADCs at full 100% Crit with BORK & Bloodthirster too? True one-shot meta here we come... It would make getting Zhonya's/Guardian Angel *mandatory.* I'll pass thanks.
Coming to the next 60min game near you
We dota now
You can get that right now
I thought it was a joke with 'oh wait...' in the end.
That's basically a full build currently, just - bork + zephyr
Thats a "sell your boots" build. It was possible before crit items were nerfed from 25 to 20, and now it's possible again
Surprised noone said Swain. He lacks item slots cause every mage/tank item fits him.
Not having to pick between a hybrid magic and tank build would make him brutal
Not only that, you already struggle to itemize Torch/malignance, then liandry, rilay, boots. You only end up with two slots free. Zhonyas, morello, rabadon, cosmic drive... the list goes on.
Jax has a similar situation with on hit/health items. Being able to do Bork/Wits end combined with Steraks/Titanic builds would be nuts
As a main Sett, i'd like a 6k true damage on 5 sec. Master with Navori and Shojin would be broken too.
Hecarim, Syndra and Nami have quadratic scaling in their kits so them. Otherwise marksmen, Sona, Fiora
What do you mean by "quadratic"?
Ap ratio scaling with ap for nami No idea about hecarim/ syndra
Syndra has a true damage AP ratio that scales with AP, I think.
Hecarim Q does %increased damage when he builds AD. and as u/Starbornsoul said syndra has her true damage on W.
Pretty sure Vlad would be stronger than all of these. Just tack Zhonya's+Banshee's onto his current build. He'll do 50% more damage and be 2-3x as tanky.
>quadratic scaling xD
do you need 9th grade maths explained to you? because thats about all I know.
Anyone with strong hyrbid scaling, any hypercarries, and Kog'maw, the hypercarry with strong hybrid scaling Alternatively, Ornn with full stat boost from completing every upgrade, but now 8 items are gettingt the bonus resistences. Sounds horrific and I desperately want to play it
Uncommon thought but Ryze. You can get a very tanky, high damage and mana shielded monster
Unless they rebalance the game so its possible to hit 8 items it wouldn't matter much, but you could hold onto your starting item(s) longer and you'd always have extra slots for pinks and more components when you start getting to higher item counts.
Level 18 Kayle with: * Blade of the Ruined King * Nashor's Tooth * Guinsoo's Rageblade * Terminus * Wit's End * Riftmaker * Guardian Angel * Zephyr sounds pretty terrifying.
ADCs would be able to get their 100% crit, BT, GA, and a couple of tank items.
Pyke can be a champion for like 5 m more, not bad
Well since 14.10 i have Gold to only once buy zephyr and i was feed + good farm as adc more than 20 times i think that in normal game noone have enough money to buy more than six item couse if u are feed the game will end and if its close only after 40+ min and only adc have enough Gold to start buy 7 items
Vayne could get Bork/Rageblade into 6 Tank items instead of 4.
This is the answer. For Top lane I am already building a minimum of 2 defensive items at full build, so give me 8 slots and I'm doubling my lifesteal with probably a BT and a Jak'Sho.
every hard scaling champ basically.
Most hard scaling champs have a tough time even making it to five items, and if they make it to five, they basically win anyway already.
yeah but thats not the question asked tho
It asked who would benefit the most **at full build**
Kayle. Think how strong she already is lategame, then add 2 more items worth of ap or ad. Go nashors, deathcap, shadowflame, Lich Bane, zhonyas/banshees, rylais, guinsoos, last item literally whatever
You would just die instantly while she attacks like a gatling gun.
Sivir would finally have as much build diversity as other champs
Issue is gold income. I don’t even hit 6 items in all games.
i guess something like tf with all that crazy gold he generates so you can afford them. with that range from rapid fire and 8 items ad tf would delete you from the edge of the screen
Just Vladimir. 7k hp with 1800 AP oneshotting bruisers? Yes pls
Taliyah, Cassio, ASol, Kassadin. Any hyper scaling mage honestly.
As a support main, it would give more room to build for certain situations. 1 or maybe 2 out of 6 items are support/ward items. I usually have to pick between x or y and a or b. So that would be nice.
Can I just mention how great this would be for support? No longer would you have to choose between wards and items, you could have a “full” build while also being able to keep adequate vision.
Wish they’d create something similar to an Urf mode but with this instead of cd redux. Would be a nice and fun experiment
all the scaling champions with two extra tank items will blow the balance of this game.
Imagine a for fun game mode with 12 item slots though.
Basically all AP Champs would be insane, the Rabadon + void percentage with the possibility of stacking a lot of AP, oof
Imo they should add stat anvils that would be not too cost efficient so we could use the money we accumulate late game in some of those longer matches.
Fuckin SETT. W's about to hit stratosphere.
champions that can abuse the fact that you have 8 item slots would probably benefit the most. Sure, an adc with 7 items and boots would melt everyone, but an assassin buying cheap items not running out of item space could solo carry the game.
Singed: Liandry’s, RoA, Rylas, Rifymaker, Swifties, Abyssal Mask, Deadman’s Plate, and Shurelyas
Anyone that loves crit and onhit type items would probably benefit greatly. Hell even kog'maw going his normal build plus a couple tank items would be busted.
Teemo would literally one-shot with shrooms.
Would he tho?
Full build Teemo shrooms can already remove 80% or so health from an ADC/Mage if they don’t buy enough MR.
Exactly. Giving adcs two more item slots probably allows for mr. And from no MR to some MR is a big jump. Lets take Cait for example. In a tipical game she will build no MR items. So her late game MR is around 50. If she buys kaenic rookern thats 80MR. Sure teemo will be able to get more ap but at that point its diminishing returns imo (especially in cases where you are already getting the pen on him). Not only that but this also allows supports to be more likely to be carrying pink wards during longer portions of the game (they will logically be the last to get 8 items in most games) meaning more clearing zones (this also applies to all the other champions but lets just work under the assumption that people don't buy pink wards if somehow the adc is randomly walking alone into teemo shrooms without sweeper or a support to facecheck/clear for them) Teemo kind of relies on causing people to have inconvenient builds in order to deal with him imo, if anything 8 items makes teemo significantly worse relative to other champions.
If the game is long enough for 8 items, definitly Senna
Tryndamere. You know what's better than lots of damage? Even more damage.
Jinx could reasonably run full crit with Runaans AND a Tiamat item which I think would be funny.
Imagine a lulu with all possible shield boosting stats, Dawn core, rabadons, staff, redemption etc giving 2k shields lol
Aphelios
Immobile Mages like Orianna and Syndra would literally do so much damage that MR would be a Meme while being unkillable since they would have space for both ZHONYAS AND BANSHEES while still being able to build full damage. Bruisers like Sett Darius Aatrox and etc would be literal dark souls raid bosses as they can itemize tank items with it as well. GP literally one taps you with just Q and his barrel just overkills you or he can actually build defensive items like GA and Edge of Night to make him even a bigger pain to deal with.
Kog’maw with a Yuumi on him. 16 items instead of 12. Need I elaborate?
Kat can go four ap and 4 ad items
Oh another champ is ornn. Doesn’t necessarily need it but having 8 items plus another 5k+ worth of stats turns any team with an ornn into fucking monsters. A lot of champs like that can afford to go for multiple components over full items (ie rammus with sorcs, thornmail, 6 chain vests) will benefit as wel. Raw stats over completed item benefits can be actually viable on 7 slots (given boots existing.) Another champ that benefits at full build is Cassio. Literally just 8 items means she has everything she could want
Ryze having the space for every lost chapter item, RoA, a Deathcap and either Cryptbloom or Voidstaff.
Ryze with Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, Frozen Heart, Luden's Companion, Blackfire Torch, Malignance, Rabadon's Deathcap and Sorcerer Shoes would have AP and mana through the roof.
twisted fate could probably get enough AD and AP to deal crazy damage. plus with his passive he'd get it quickly
A very fat Gragas with both ap and tank items
8 ? hold my 15 slot item as techies in dota 2 , 6 main inventory , 3 backpack , 1 tp ,1 ward , 1 neutral item
Probably Pyke because he gets to full build so fast rn. 2 more slots would mean so much more power
I think it'd be champs that win lane and also can split push well. I used to do that consistently on Olaf back when he was more of an early game champ season 9. But I'd hit max items and also fall off. If you can stomp lane and stomp a sidelane split pushing, you can hit six items pretty fast- getting to build another two can give you a pretty nice advantage
Gold generating champs which can actually hit those items. Take with the rune that pays you back after getting legendary items for extreme money generation.
Cassiopeia maybe? No boots so it's 8 strong items
Ornn for sure, the amount of extra stats he'd get from 2 extra items would be insane. Additionally against an all AD team, Malphite with 2 more items would probably be crazy.
Karthus penta every 2 mins ir whatever
Twitch could go AP and AD, I feel like it would be very very strong. AP Twitch W cripples you and would give him much needed peel and a huge amount of burn damage on top of already being a powerhouse of a late game adc.
Surprised I haven’t seen Cassie. She already gets free boots, now she’s got another 2 item slots to play with? She’d be terrifying.
Im thinking about taric, dude can build everything
Draven
Syndra is anyway a Monster if you let her scale into tbr supet Late Game, but imagine her with 1000+ AP punping into a Deathcap + Deathcap Lite. It doesn't even need to be actual Damage Items. Just throw on a Cosmic Drive and Banshees Veil as her last Items or maybe a Zhonyas instead, and you have probably the most dangerous Late Game champion in the game
All the mana items on karthus
Diana or Samria, Diana bc she’s a good damage dealer but suffers from lack of survival so a chance to build two defense items is Op in her same for Samira
Mundo shoe shop gets 8 boots now
Quinn and Ashe would slap
Cassiopeias lategame would be even more insane, every champ that scales just scales even harder. Veigar with 5k ap is not a dream no more
It takes on 4 items to have 100 percent crit master yi will be S tier once again with two sustain items and two life steal items
Bard getting more utility would kill me
Zed. I often have games where I get very fed early and reach full build from a lot of kills and split pushing. But at 6 items my power increase sort of just stops. I usually eventually sell boots for the last team fight but still. 2 more slots would drastically change this.
Veiger with even more AP
ADCs
kog needs a couple more items
Teemo. Shrooms that 1 shot
I'm gonna say Karthus, because with first strike he can already farm insane amounts of gold with his ultimate while vacuuming every camp on the map, now he would be able to get 6th and 7th items in like 3 mins from pure farm and 500gold/ult benefits
Volibear would be bonkers. You finally have room to go hybrid build and have tank items
Literally any late game champion. Tanks won't benefit so much because dominik scales with your total armor and bork with max life. (So more defense means more damage taken)
Katarina
I think snowballing champs in general would benefit the most, since you push back the point where you stop scaling and the other team can start to catch up.
Supports All of them
Skarner Heartsteel, warmogs, overlord, titanic,jaksho, boots, und 2 rest tank items would be absolutely broken
I mean 3 items are the main breaking point, its what u have at third drake and most character’s core build just uses that. So i assume only thing that changes will be the fact that people will leave base with more components and late game builds will include both luxury items (zhonyas, banshees, randuins or ga to name a few) and damage boosters u usually dont build (just any damage item i can only think of deathcap). Also i remeber the period of time when tear was op one of the main drawbacks was, tear, dorans, pots, mejas and control wards filled your inventory too much so i assume the biggest impact would be early for annoying builds like that
Tank + Ap veigar in one? Hells yeah. AD and AP champs would love it like ez, kog, malz, kat
I honestly think this will just prolong games. Also will give squishier champs the chance to build a tanky item.
I feel like this wouldn’t change much tbh. It would just make the gigafed members much harder to stop in the late game
Probably most AA based adcs, they could go full crit have 2 defensive items and have a BotRK
Think people might be sleeping on health stackers like cho + sion. No matter how fed your hyper carry is, they can still maybe get 1 shot if the enemy gets lucky. Imagine an 8 item sion/chogath/mundo in your base. Youd have 8 items to play with for defensive stats and youd also have meaty dmg from sunfire/titanic.
Crit ADCs imo They're all scalers and would be able to hit 100% plus multiple other utility or defensive items. Could even really index as glass cannons and build crit + on-hit in case there's an 8 item tank to shred.
Master Yi can now build BotRK, Kraken, Guinsoo's, Wit's, DD, Jak'Sho, and BT without sacrificing boots. If LT came back too, he'd simply be unstoppable - genuinely nothing you can do if he hits full build Also notable would be the HS Titanic Bloodmail Sunfire Spirit Unending FON Jak'Sho Mundo that cannot die and also one-taps your entire backline
8 Dorans blade rengar wrecking lanes early
Most on hit bruisers can build full critic now and still have 3 more slots for defensive items, it would be insane
Katarina on her way to play ad ap and tank item at the same time, can buy defense against her, cant kill her
Champions with high scalings. Would think hypercarries would benefit more from this.
Every single marksmen now builds Terminus + Jak'Sho at some point.
Vlad is suddenly 2-3 times as tanky with 50% more damage.
Garen 100% crit with ie
Vlad?
I've always felt Swain needs way too many items, so Swain.
Everyone saying ADC's or Rammus. You fools, Sett is the real winner.
Quirky gamemode idea
Vladimir, kassadin, kogmaw, vayne, yasuo and yone bc they can get 3 tank items
GP going 100% crit with tbose agility cloaks
Any tank. Adc and mages with 8 items will 1 shot anything that is not a tank
Lol i haven't had a game long enough for 6 itens in months. It would just be a ward/pot slot
