Sword of the Divine apparently isn't that good of an item with too much of a niche-role in Riot's eyes.

Quoted:
Xypherous(RIOT): Sword of the Divine is awkward, as it is a dodge-counter item...

...to.. counter.. Jax? Who really wants you to have high attack speed and low damage. :<

And the proc hits towers for some reason. It's just a really confusing item overall. Ideally like to fundamentally rework it in some way, or just remove it and put another 60% AS + Proc item built out of the same items.

hah well they made a good point about the anti dodge.

never really noticed it procced on towers. just remove the ability to proc on towers like every other proc item and it'll be good imo.

actually while we're at it, another interesting post in the thread is how it does magic damage while giving armor pen..

switch it to attack damage? since wriggles/madreds is magic damage now.


but if they do rework it, and it looses its anti dodge, they would need to make another anti dodge item.

I love SotD. It goes great on WW, Xin, TF, Teemo, the list just goes on! Plus it gives armor penetration, let's not forget that.

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

Making it a physical damage proc would be interesting.
It would certainly give it most synergy.

If another anti-dodge item were created to replace it, I'd like more dodge-using champions to be released. Otherwise, that item becomes just as "niched" as the current SotD.

@ShadowReign757:

SotD on Warwick or Teemo. That is so bad. You. Don't. Even. Know.

yeah theres been talk of removing dodge all together, which would include a jax rework, possibly even ip refunds for people who bought dodge runes?

SoTD is a bad Item, because as long as you don't want to counter a Jax with it, you can buy a Wit's End, which deals 168 dmg on four hits and gives some nice MRes and is nearly equal in its cost. I don't see a real point to get SoTD after the WE rework anymore.
