[ITEM] Linken's Sphere

Cp6uja · 08-29-2009, 07:08 PM

I just had an great idea for (a little) underused item!
I'm linkens fan, and I think that every Linken's lover will support this idea!

Changes are as usual in green!
Old:

Quote:

+

=

+6 HP/sec regeneration
+150% mana
regeneration
+15 Strength
+15 Agility
+15 Intelligence
Blocks most targeted spells once every 20 seconds

Total gold: 5175

New:

Total gold: 4750
Autoassemble.

[+] Much more easier build-path, no more long farming for Ulti Orb
[+] Cheaper, thus easier to buy, we all like faster games
[+] Benefits of +stats even if you didn't still made it
[+] You can swiftly change your mid to Ahanims if your hero suports it
[+] No more insane 1300 gold recipe!

[-] Reduced stats by 3 because item is 425 gold cheaper.

Your move PD!

im all for reducing sphere's cost but i think you should keep the ulti orb. carrying 3 items is impractical and the total cost isnt even that much lower.

WhatIsEasyMode · 08-30-2009, 01:18 AM

I love it.

PunKZ · 08-30-2009, 04:16 AM

Woot? You need a tp to make the current one? Well... about the suggestion.. don't really know, I got to say that Staff of Wizardry/Ogre Axe/Blade of Alacrity are the 3 most boring items in the game to farm...don't know why, I just think so.. And I'm really for ultimate orb...

Bombay · 08-30-2009, 07:12 AM

I'm a linkens fan too and I would hate to see it get built up by those 3 items which have already been done to death.

Please don't.

Don't be ridiculous, the TP scroll is meant to act as the Recipe icon.

KUL · 08-30-2009, 08:32 AM

why would you remove 9 stats from it? it makes the item much weaker. and the cost isn't that much better either.

Cheap buildup is not everything. carrying 3 different items to have the same effect as 1 sucks. so because it's not that much of a big buff atleast keep the stats the same.

Cp6uja · 08-30-2009, 08:51 AM

@ doomsheep

425gold is 10 creeps or 2 hero kills. Pretty much cheaper to me! Also, don't forget the build up path!

@ easymode

Thx.

@ PunKZ

From now on, use TP Scroll as Recipe! ALso, if you didn't know, Ultimate orb is used at 4 items (EoS, Guinsoo, Manta, Linken's), while Axe in 3, and Alacrity in 3 but Staff in 5. Also, Ultimate orb is not boring?

@ Bombay

See @Punkz

@ APL

Thx for explanation.

@ KUL

In fact, its not -9 stats, its -3 -3 -3 which balance out things.

@ Everyone of you

Can you remember the old times when Diffusal blade was build up from 1 Alacruty, 1 Roobe and 1850 Recipe. It was INSANE. Now, I build Diffusal almost everytime on AGI heroes. I love new diffusal, as its only 2 Alacrities, 1 roobe and 850 gold. Don't tell me that its more boring now since yoo need to farm 2 cheaper items and one really cheap along with very cheap recipe?

Infrisios · 08-30-2009, 09:40 AM

I like it, making Linken's easier to farm sounds good to me.

icu^^ · 08-30-2009, 01:58 PM

Nice idea.

anhar.muhammad · 09-04-2009, 12:52 AM

I like the Ultimate Orb than the Axe, Staff, and Blade. Why not Perseverance, Ultimate Orb, and Hood of Defiance (total cost is 1750+2100+2100=5950)?

NoThlnG · 09-04-2009, 12:56 AM

I love your suggestion. I always thought that Linken cost little too much

supaplecs · 09-04-2009, 04:41 AM

too many items , t-down

Ety · 09-04-2009, 09:33 AM

T-up for reducing it's cost

T-down for the 3 items

it definitely looks better with a fire orb (perseverance) + ultimate orb = one imba orb

rather than fire orb + some crappy weapons = wtf? makes no logic

I'd say keep the +10 to all stats from the ulti orb, but reduce the cost

a spell negation item is needed whole game, not only late

Bovver · 09-04-2009, 09:49 AM

Last game on league I tried to make linkens, and I finished 4-15 with bat, having only perseverance..even after 60 mins, when we lost, I didn't managed to get ultimate orb..full support

@ dj_dz

Pretty much what I want with this idea.

Repeats · 09-04-2009, 03:35 PM

Yeah why dont we just reduce the cost of the recipe? 2100 isnt all that hard to farm up. Plus, its exactly what they did to skadi, just remove 500 gold fromt he reicpe and now its poping up in many more games then it did before.

I dont really see a need for the remake. Just lower the recipe cost and it will be fine.

Bovver · 09-11-2009, 07:46 PM

bump, implement this

Ramodkk · 09-11-2009, 11:23 PM

The concept looks alright, but thematically, I just don't get how you would get an orb by combining 3 weapons. Ultimate Orb fits perfectly.

Pengwyn · 09-12-2009, 12:03 AM

In my opinion removing ultimate orb for an easier build path is a very good idea, however because of the extra item space, I feel as though some of these advantages are lost. If the stats given were not nerfed then the extra slot for the easier build path would be much appreciated.
