+15% Critical Strike Chance[/COLOR]
UNIQUE Passive: Your basic attacks apply a mark to the target that deals 4 bonus magic damage each second for 8 seconds.
UNIQUE Active: Inflicts target enemy champion with Grievous Wound, causing 50% reduced healing and regeneration for 8 seconds (20 second cooldown).
This item, afaik, has been virtually unchanged since I joined League of Legends (it might have been built from a rice blade before, don't recall). With the direction the game is headed to atm, I'm thinking this item would actually be more viable than people give it credit for, and I would be interested in trying it out in some of my future games.
PROS:
-- Retardedly high lifesteal for its cost. Reasonable lane sustain levels.
-- Healing reduction at a spammable rate!
CONS:
-- The DoT trolls you if you're trying to tower dive someone for a kill.
-- It has very low stats for an unupgradeable item.
-- Early crit chance? Really?
-- Wriggle's Lantern is arguably a better item for the stats it gives, and for the long term, at only 250 more gold.
Thoughts?
