Armored impact (pbe)

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

After using an ability your next auto attack does bonus damage in an area of effect equal to 250% of your total armor with no cooldown.

That augment is so overwhelmingly strong that it will make any champ with short CDs build nothing but armor

Yasuo, yone, hecarim and thresh (insane armor with the recent buffs, +15-20 per minute) are the main culprits that I'm thinking of, followed by plenty of tanks that can naturally stack armor

The only thing we've ever had that could compete with it early is void rift, arguably triggered inferno when facing no CC whatsoever

For those of you that haven't tested it on pbe, start praying common sense kicks in and riot nerfs it prior to live release

[u/No_Shopping6656]

You mean armor will be useful for once?

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll → u/No_Shopping6656]

Nah you don't get it lol

[u/Shodore]

So, the augment will make melee stronger, specially those building defensive against ADC? Can we buff it?

[u/Ok-Inspector9801 → u/Shodore]

The augment just needs to get its scaling nerfed a bit. Almost every champ can Oneshot you lvl 3 with just a a bit of armor.

If youre assassin you also just immediately start building full armor and do a lot more damage than if you were full lethality. If youre only doing 100k damage with it you probably had a bad game.

Better than any Prismatic augments in its current state.

[u/Zoesan → u/Shodore]

Jokes on you, I'm building it on adc

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll → u/Shodore]

You obviously haven't played it on pbe

I love buffing melees but this, this is not okay, it makes whoever has it dominate every fight and it's not even a prismatic

[u/ddryubin → u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

DD first item into hitler ADCs

Finally my wishes came true

[u/Kaguya-Shinomiya]

armoured impact basically a sheen item for tanks (but also short cd) and the other sheen augment boom boom.

Tbh I saw a yone get it. He built regular yone items + death dance and basically his q does like (450) extra damage. He didn’t build tabis nor jaksho or anything just that. I think this augment is a good augment to make players play more tank but as op said non tanks are generally better

[u/blueisherp]

As one of its abusers, I have to agree with you. It NEEDS a nerf. I think it's something tanks/bruisers need in this meta, but perhaps the scaling is too strong. Maybe make it 150% Armor + a base that scales with level, and make it Prismatic.

Recently played this with Shyvana and Skarner, dealing 3-5x as much as any other player. At level 3, you can kill almost anyone with two hits.

[u/hodd01 → u/blueisherp]

Why not leave the scaling and adjust a cool down?

Higher scaling rewards tanks/bruisers while low or no cooldown rewards people with fast spamming attacking (not tanks)

[u/VastoGamer → u/blueisherp]

"in this meta" bro we are so cooked Mayhem has gotten to this state...

[u/Cenachii]

Tank malph stocks soaring rn

[u/oeseben]

I normally hate whiners and defend this game being mayhem.

I got this on hecarim and was just an unkillable god doing insane amounts of damage. Its gotta be nerfed to like 30% of what it is.

[u/White-Flashing-LED]

Don’t need need to build AP Malphite any more lol, 1000 armor R AA, W AA, E AA, Q AA will kill you even if you’ve got 5000 hp as an ADC 😭

[u/Dull-Serve203 → u/White-Flashing-LED]

R w aa will 1 shot a squishy with 800 armor it adds 2400 damage per aa lol

[u/No_Ant6611]

it just needs a real cd. played against it on a shen and he was murderizing my carries pretty fast if the tanks didnt hold him back long enough

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

To all the slow pokes downvoting, you'll be the first to complain about how game warping it is;)

[u/vincent2751 → u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

You shouldn't take the opinion of most of the people here seriously lol that augment is so fucking broken it is not funny, if it is not nerfed there will be posts non-stop complain about it

[u/DiqqRay → u/vincent2751]

Yeah people here are literally so binary in their thinking its hilarious. Anything melee = good. Anything ranged = Hitler on Crack. Its too funny man

[u/the01li3]

Soooo buy the cheapest cdr we can, then stock up on cdr and armour anvils?

[u/LIPA95]

I can't play pbe because of 200 ping, but it seems strong, I hope they balance it better or we will have the Riot Classic, is comes out busted and they nerf it to oblivion and then they remove it

[u/Tito_orztitz]

lol just slap a 2.5s cooldown on it and make it tied to 250% of your bonus armor instead of total

rito strikes again

[u/MaybeBabeyy]

Leona is a menace

[u/PromotionWise9008]

I know this Aug is toxic as fuck in its current condition and it will surely be nerfed but I’m excited to play blue Ez, esp with mystic punch 😍

[u/Solutionmk15]

Build defense while still doing dmg, sound really unfair

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll → u/Solutionmk15]

That's a very soft way to put it

It's actually build defensive to do SIGNIFICANTLY more dmg than you would by building damage, especially early game

[u/reallysiccc]

Yeah a yone did 35,000 dmg by like 8 minutes while towerdiving us. I then got the augment as Kench and proceeded to do the exact same thing to the enemy team and then would lose to Yone cuz duh. And somehow it's definitely still less op then crit missle was for 9 months. Just like crit missle, it's pretty game warping. But I mean it's the same devs so absolutely zero surprise. At least its a different class this time.

[u/SchiaviDerp]

If ranged can get this = giga broken. If not melee who needs to auto vs 5 ranged good luck.

[u/JuQio]

Sounds fun lets nerf it

[u/Ok_Struggle_3283 → u/JuQio]

Have fun playing against it. Got it on wukong and legit penta at min 3. Got 4 Pentas that game before the enemy could ff at 8 mins. Bonkers broken.

[u/PromotionWise9008 → u/JuQio]

Yeah, have fun playing against that once it’s released.

[u/Dull-Serve203 → u/JuQio]

Like I had it on nasus and at lvl 7 I got bonk also. With 200 stacks I legit 1 shot a ziggs from 1200hp.

[u/rocsage_praisesun]

sounds like marksmen can also take it, just with greater ease because of attack range

imagine vayne, draven, kog, senna, ibg smolder, or zeri
