Liandry's Torment

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Liandry's Torment specifically states "if their movement is impaired" - does this only refer to slows, or will dealing spell damage to a snared or a stunned opponent proc the double damage?[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]I think that slows inflicted after initial contact do make it double damage since it's a dot, but i'm not sure.[/quote]

[quote=AncientNecro]Liandra's procs things like Teemo's Q and E (actually not sure about the E) , and R. Speaking of Teemo... This item really shines on him, with the new defensive tree used, and built immediately after you have boots and phage. It's just a little boost to damage, as I have no MPen in my masteries (but I do have the 5% AP on AA mastery). Otherwise 9/21/0. Even though the full build I'm using is mostly AD, it still works. Liandra's hits for double, because of phage's effect (once it procs...always procs once upgraded to Frozen Mallet). The percent damage pretty much only comes from its own AP, of course. And gives a nice little burn. After Liandras built Sword of the Ruined King, and lead into a Runaans but perhaps build some HP / tankiness first. The damage, my friends, is immense. Build is fairly expensive. Last hit like a bawz. Okay sorry for going so off topic but I just had to share :)[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka]I just played against a [[Brand]] who built Liandry's, and it was freakin' annoying. Liandry's procs off of Brand's [[Blaze]]. And since Blaze has a 4 second burn duration, this means that Liandry's can proc off of all his spells twice. Combined with his Rylai's, he was very, very annoying, and did fairly good damage even though he never got around to building a Deathcap. Of course, this isn't quite as abusive as Liandry's would be on Cassiopeia, but it is fairly good nonetheless.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod][quote=CantaGallo] tried on [[swain]] with new dfg and rilay .... simply rocks [/quote] I found it completely lackluster. In fact, I think this item is getting excessive hype, people have been forcing it in tons of diferent champs and it always feels like another item could've done it better. I mean, I only really tried it on [[swain]] and [[rumble]], and the difference from [[haunting guise]] was nearly negligible, this with Rylai already bought. Yet, I've seen a Liandry on pretty much every ap mid I faced and it's not like their damage felt WOAH NERF or even WOAH IT'S STRONGER NOW. Felt more like "dood, get good ap or get dunked".[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Same here, if your champ's kit doesn't include an impairing effect already, it's nowhere near a must-buy.[/quote]

[quote=AncientNecro]True damage + 10% hp is pretty nice when you land the Ahri combo, though ^_^[/quote]

[/quote] I agree, people are vastly overestimating the passive. It's not an OP item or a 'rush every game on every champ' kind of item. In fact the only champ I can really see this being a core item to rush on is Vlad.[/quote]

[quote=Teyso]I agree, [[Liandry's Torment]] is getting too much attention. Honestly, I feel like if people want bonus damage after their spells, they should just get [[Lich Bane]] and learn to proc spell-blade between spell-casts. It does a hell of a lot more damage and synergizes better on most champs than Liandry's.[/quote]
