Whats your opinion on the item in its current state? People seem to think that its OP and every mage will build it, but I think it will be a niche item.
I mean its stats are okay, but casters companion gives 10 more AP and its extra dmg can proc on basic spells AND ult. Malignance has essentially no passive if R is on cooldown, for most champs its just stats during a 60sec ult timer. Also I think its only really good if you can hold people in the area. A Viktor ult moving through, getting one proc triggering malignance, which people quickly step out of, is less value than casters companion, which can use up all 6 stacks on one proc.
So yeah, I think its niche, Anivia and swain want it for sure, on vel koz and Viktor I would likely pass despite the item offering some value and on burstmages like Syndra I would not even bother experimenting with it. Whats your opinion?
Some Champs will really like and that’s all an Item has to do.
So it’s fine.
My only gripe is that I feel like there are quite some Champs that want neither Malig nor Companion and therefore have no real Mana-Item.
Seraphs 1st feels weird but what else would I build on something like ASol? Dunno.
