To clarify, I posted an optional tweak so that would only give the QSS effect to ranged champions: so when I said "carries" I really should have said "Melee ADCs".

Also, why should it specifically be a Bruiser item?

They can already survive CC and burst without a special countermeasure.


I proposed that it be geared towards Melee ADCs to make them a more viable archetype by making them harder to shut down.

(Also, timing the one second CC immunity and a stun to hit after it has much more counterplay than, say, buying a Warmogs and surviving burst no matter what.)

Only read the first page but I'll just throw this out there.

We have hourglass for AP champs. We don't have an item for AD champs? Hourglass prevents you from moving or doing anything but at least it will protect you. Its a very similar concept to what you're proposing but prevents you from being totally invulnerable.

My suggestion only involves CC immunity for one second.

Outside of the already present debuff cleanse upon initial use and its inherent magic resistance, the item would not be preventing damage.

Anyway, Hourglass works for some Mages for two reasons:

1. Its handy if you have an AOE effect going that it doesn't cancel.

2. It can buy time for their abilities to come off cool-down.


The Zhonya's effect wouldn't work for the champion that need CC protection most- Melee ADCs- because their damage isn't cool-down based and it would ruin their positioning, which Mages are typically not very reliant on to do damage.

It would give any targets time to get a safe distance away and give enemy stuns time to come off cool-down.
