LS – T1 expert claimed that the newest buff for Hullbreaker in League Patch 11.17 is a horrible decision from Riot Games since this modification didn’t solve any of the item’s current problems in the meta.
Hullbreaker is one of two new items added to League of Legends by Riot Games in League Patch 11.13. Essentially, this item supports champions and adjacent minions in dealing extra damage to structures while no teammates are nearby. Despite being one of the two most recent items introduced to the League of Legends shop, it has a very low purchase rate of 0.7 percent (according to LeagueofGraphs.com).
Perhaps because Riot Games recognizes that this equipment is still rather inadequate, the company has added 100 extra health to the base stats that Hullbreaker offers in version 11.17. However, according to the expert T1 – LS, this is a meaningless change that doesn’t make Hullbreaker any better. Even LS stated that Riot does not appear to comprehend the underlying issue that has caused this item to be “forgotten” by gamers.
When we examine the effect of Hullbreaker, we can find that it simply helps champions dismantle turrets quicker. Meanwhile, the occasional push task becomes more difficult when you must spend a short period of time pushing the wave of minions towards the turret. The item’s impact is near “Waste” if your opponent is able to remove the wave of pushed minions and prevent you from accessing the structure.
It is obvious that when gamers are unable to take use of an item’s impact, the item will eventually be “forgotten” by the player, and the Hullbreaker is in this category. Perhaps, like LS said, Riot could give Hullbreaker the ability to do more damage to minions while splitting pushes in order for Hullbreaker to create a large impression on gamers. on the other hand, will continue to be buddies with an extremely low buy rate even after it has been buffed.
