League of Legends: What is the reason behind the terrible “hot” of the Chainsaw equipment in the past time?
If you watch professional matches or high ranked games, you can easily see that players are gradually becoming more and more interested in equipping Chainsaws for Jungle Fighters, even even in the starter map.
Starting from update 12.10, when the resistance of the generals in the game increased simultaneously. Along with that, the ability to heal and create armor also received tweaks to better suit the meta. These changes also make Deep Wounds suddenly much more important. Recently, many professional junglers like SofM, Kanavi are prioritizing Chainsaw as the starting item for most of the gladiators they play, why did they make such a decision?
As we all know, the Grievous Wound effect has been nerfed quite heavily lately, and having you only get ahead of a small shard (Slaughterer’s Sword) with only 25% Grievous Wound effect will be insufficient. Therefore, completing the Chainsaw Technique early will give you an advantage when confronting enemies in the jungle, because often jungle champions have relatively good healing abilities. In addition, with the occasional jungler being able to carry Burning, Chainsaw is an even more optimal choice for getting Grievous Wounds in the early stages.
But what really sets the Chainsaw apart from other healing-reducing items (like Thorn Armor or Death Reminder) is that it gives 55 AD, 250 Health, and especially 25 Cooldown. Stats are desirable for all gladiators. With only 2600 Gold in the 12.13 update, the Chemical Chainsaw is really a super hot item that everyone wants to have first to maximize power.
The Chainsaw is perfect for champions like Viego, Wukong, Vi.. or most of the Gladiators in the recent meta. Patch 12.14 has nerfed for this item when its price has been increased to 2800 instead of 2600 gold, for Mo, this is a relatively balanced tweak to limit the ability of players to strengthen too soon. General Gladiator. What about you guys? Will the Chemical Chainsaw still retain its hotness in the future? Leave your opinion below in the comment section!
