The ability of tanks to absorb burst and then deal grave damage to casters whose spells are not on Cooldown places too much emphasis on ranged physical DPS and on tanky DPS. Also, HP itemization for pure AP champs is very limited, and overall survivability is a serious issue for many casters with long CD spells.
Visage of the Void Catalyst the Protector (1325g) Haunting Guise (1485g) Combine cost 690g Total cost 3500g 600 HP 400 Mana 30 AP 20 Spell Pen Unique Passive: On spellcast, place a debuff on the target that reduces MR by 5 for 10 seconds, stacks up to 10x. At full stacks, the target takes 1% of max HP as True Damage on receiving any magic damage. (Stacks are only gained/refreshed by the holder of the Visage.) Unique Active: Inflict target with a full 10x stack of the Void Torment debuff. Cooldown 120 seconds. Due to the base stats on the item, it fulfills a specific niche, where the enemy team is mostly comprised of meaty champions that counter burst casters so well. It also provides a situational counterpart to the Bloodrazors, giving casters a method of fighting against champions who focus purely on increasing their EHP, and relying on their sustained damage to take advantage of the relative fragility of burst casters, while not providing compelling stats for champions and/or situations that the item is not intended for. |
