The super popular MOBA from Riot Games has a huge number of items, many of which have active abilities. Here rating of the best.
Complete reconstruction of the interior shop in League of Legends in Season 11 was very large-scale and significantly influenced the meta. And even though it has been changing for quite some time now, both in of the choice of champions and in of the items used, the items have truly become more balanced and equal. Some of them got powerful ives, while others got cool active abilities.
Season 11 has been going on for quite a long time, so most players have had time to adapt and get used to the new store. But even among such avid lovers, there are those for whom some items still remain a mystery. Made for them and everyone else top item rating based on statistics from patch version 11.4.
10th place: Armored boots
Many seasons of Tabi Ninja have been a rather unusual subject matter. After the miss chance was removed, these dodger boots became defensively oriented. For them, the damage from automatic attacks was reduced and the armor was increased, which, although useful, does not go well with the image of a ninja. Luckily, it didn't take long for Riot to fix your mistakes with the newly minted “Armored Boots”.
The advantages of this item are pretty obvious. Boots' unique ive reduces all incoming damage by 12%., including attacks from turrets. Damage taken also counts as base attack modifiers and abilities that act as standard attack and magic damage.
The effectiveness of Armored Boots is greatly appreciated, as every champion uses some type of auto attack. Due to the fact that the item is best upgraded with a high amount of armor, against powerful carries and AD teams he is too goodnot to collect it.
9th Place: Green Barrier/Seeker's Bracers
Both of these items share ninth place because they perform the same tasks. “Green Barrier” is a new item that increases Spell Damage and Magic Defense, While the Seeker's Bracers provide the same bonuses plus armor. Both of them are inexpensive and can suit any control mage, fully justifying their price.
Most of the effectiveness of both items is expressed in ives. Both the barrier and the bracers increase the defensive stat when killing minions. At the same time, Seeker's Bracers require a little more amplification.
Most mages were picking them up before the update against mids with physical damage, but "Green Barrier" should be considered for builds with ability buffs. For example, a combination of Lydia and Syndra midlaners would be the perfect pick against which to pick this item. Besides, armor upgrade works well in the later stages of the game.
8th place: Stopwatch/Zhonya's hourglass
Improvement of the above Seeker's Bracer is Zhonya's Hourglass. “Stopwatch” is also ranked eighth in the selection, as the champion of each role can benefit from it. This item costs 600 gold and does not give any characteristics.
Rune “Perfect time” guarantees the free use of the item after a certain timing. It can be combined with several other items, including Zhonya's Hourglass.
Stopwatch's active ability in the form of stasis is very effective in critical situations. Item use will turn the character into gold, making him uncontrollable and invulnerable. Those who are affected by this effect cannot do anything during the duration of the ability.
Item has so many uses it would take a long time to list them all.. With it, you can: dodge spells, survive in battle, wait for the cooldown of certain abilities, just look cool. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are several “Stopwatches” in professional League of Legends matches, because active ability is too good.
7th Place: Chemtech Corruptor
Although at first the item did not cause delight among the players, recent patches have made Chemtech Corruptor a must-have purchase in almost every match. It's no secret that health regeneration in League of Legends is now more effective than most of the existing effects. The debuff that the item inflicts is called "Grievous Wounds" and reduces the strength of healing and regeneration effects. So now mages who want to apply this debuff do not need to collect Morellonomicon.
The main ability of the Chemtech Corruptor is the Mushroom Toxin ive. It works like this: when dealing magic damage to enemy heroes, inflicts a 40% Grievous Wounds debuff on them for 3 seconds. In addition, when the champion heals or shields an ally, it becomes empowered and the next time the champion deals damage to an enemy Hero, it will inflict Grievous Wounds on them by 60%.
6th Place: Shadowglaive
“Shadowglaive” is a unique item, in general designed for heroes that focus on dealing physical damage. Also, the item can be equipped on AD carries, but recently it has no place in the inventory of such champions. And, despite the fact that now the glaive costs more than before, it is still recommended for use.
This item is simple and powerful. He performs best in a game that relies on vision. A ive called "Blackout" is activated when a hero equipped with an item es near enemy wards or traps. The effect is the following: totems and hidden traps deactivate and reveal their location, but only if you get within 400 radius of them. In addition, the owner of the item destroys revealed wards with one hit.
5th place: Reactive chemical armor
At the beginning of the season, Aegis of the Sunfire was the best choice for a tank among mystical items. After several changes in patches, the three items for tanks have become more balanced and equal in relation to each other. Riot gave them not only the addition to the characteristics as before, but also added useful abilities. As for the “Reactive Chemical Armor”, its ability is the main advantage of the item.
Besides the fact that this The item significantly increases survivability by granting health, armor, and magic resistance to the champion., it also speeds up skills. This works great with an active ability called Rush Attack. When the hero walks towards enemy champions or towers, movement speed is increased by 4% for 60 seconds. When approaching a target, a shock wave is generated that slows nearby enemies by 50% for 1.5 seconds. The ability has a 90 second cooldown. such combination of speed and strength, so the one who collected this item moves as fast as Udyr.
4th place: Eternal cold
As soon as the season started, there was an opinion that “Eternal Frost” is the worst item for mages among mythics. The item's stats were focused on increasing survivability, but only a handful of champions could use the item due to its ineffective ability. After a few buffs “Eternal Cold” is finally a worthy choice for many heroes.
Active item ability releases a cone of ice that immobilizes enemies caught in its center. Also deals magic damage and inflicts a slow debuff on enemies for 1.5 seconds. After the rework, the animation of the ability was accelerated, and the cooldown was reduced. Both allow mages to control enemy champions and clear creep waves (unless the hero has the skills to do so).
3rd place: Bonebreaker
Another item that was weak at first, but then became a must-have after several improvements in patches. The Ripper used to be the obvious choice for tanky bigies, but after the nerfs, Bone Breaker took its place.
In addition to strengthening physical attacks and a small increase in survivability (+200 to health), the item has an excellent ability called “Restraining Cut”. Thanks to her the hero lunges forward, dealing physical damage in an area and significantly slowing enemies by 40% for two seconds. All of the above is very helpful because allows you to quickly close the distance and slow down enemies. This is especially effective against ranged champions who are used to keeping their distance from threatening tanks.
2nd Place: Force of the Storm
One of the main requirements for the active abilities of any item is the mobilnost. For a long time the lack of a large selection of such items was a problem for League of Legends, but now the situation has improved.
Storm Force is considered a great item to add mobility to ranged champions. It not only makes it possible to dash, but also generally changes the hero's play style..
The ability called Flurry dashes the owner of the item in the selected direction and fires 3 charges at the enemy with the lowest health. The damage is magical and increases based on the target's missing health, up to 50%.
When compared to the same Bone Breaker, the Storm Force dash moves the champion further. And if you add to everything else and impressive damage, which almost guarantees the item, it can be classified as too strong.
1st Place: Healing Moonstone
The one and only - "Healing Moonstone". Unlike the rest of the items in the collection, it does not add colorful effects and flashy abilities, nor does it enhance offensive skills or encourage aggressive actions. On the contrary, the item literally resists damage, making it less noticeable.
Healing Moonstone's ive heals a wounded nearby ally for a huge amount of health, but only when using skills and basic attacks towards enemy champions. Moreover, Heal per second increases over time (up to 50%!), so it is beneficial to take long fights with him.
Heal may seem weak in short fights, but in long fights, he literally changes the course of the battle. Combined with other items with strong spells and good wearer survivability, this is definitely best ability among all items in League of Legends.
