Navori Flickerblade's changes where AD was removed and attack speed was added may have seemed like a minor change, but quite a few champions have emerged as huge benefactors. Let's talk about the item and why you should start building it too.

    It's so good on Sivir. You get 2-3 spell shields per fight, your W is always up and you can toss several boomerangs

    Hey, im a GM Yi OTP and FYI master yi does not lose his ultimate passive when its on cooldown like the video mentions. Flickerblades is a very niche item on him only good vs stuff like trynda, kayle, that you can keep hitting them in their ults to get your Q back again to stall more time Besides that, its not that great for him, you would rather way more get more damage just to kill your target faster to reset faster, not needing flickerblades

    The voice actor is just from other space place, he's a real cool voice actor!
  • Nah theoreticaly it's broken on Master Yi but on LoLalytics, it's no where near the highest winrate build. Cause champion like Master Yi need so many more thing to work well not just some cooldown reset items.
  • @Nako3
    W max Yasuo lets go!
  • @KrazyCouch2
    Correction: Yi's ult passive isn't locked behind his ult cooldown since it's a passive, it's locked behind scoring a takedown.
  • It’s a big cheat for champions who don’t really want to invest into cdr.
  • @Misume.
    Try it with urgot 3rd iteam it make him have infinty e and Q bc his W none stop
  • Okay first I’ve seen this so your thoughts on using this with Warwick to reduce his E CD and maybe even his W CD
  • Flickerblades are so fun on Briar, you can get up to a 100% W uptime, and Q stun people multiple times during a fight, it's a wonderful item to build 2nd or 3rd, but weirdly not on crit briar, because crit briar usually kills people before it'd be of any use so you use it on brusier.
  • I tremble at the teemo support buying flickerblades first item
  • @Spaceghost12
    Just get this on Volibear and literally become the bear god
  • @serefelov
    As a support main I can confirm leona with "fidget spinner" is op.
  • Flickerblade is a luxury for most of the champions you mentioned. Those champions need other things a lot more than a really expensive item that doesn't give ad anymore. The effect is great, but you are overstating its effectiveness since it only works if you can actually auto attack to make the breakpoints work and without the ad component anymore you need a lot of autos to make up the difference in a really meta that's as bursty as it is. You are better off building some cool down reduction with core stats you need rather than buying an expensive hyper specific item that has low offensive AND defensive output on the majority of champions you listed with the added restriction of having to auto attack to get the benefit. Cdr isn't at a premium anymore and with the recent addition of the legend cd mastery its really trying to crowd in on a space that has a lot of answers already. Champions that could realistically invest as a 3rd item is pretty much just Lucian and xayah, MAYBE kaisa if the stars align composition wise (3+ melee) and even then it's generally better to go something else for consistency, recycling their rotation is a nice thing but not necessary if you can just kill them ouright in the first rotation because you built damage. If you can't build it while even/behind without coinflipping at losing odds, it's hard to hype it up more than what it is. The highs aren't anything to write off, but realistically you are losing to shopkeep if you are rushing this in any situation other than a hard winning one on most of the champions mentioned (volibear shyvana xinzhao yi nocturne to point at a few). Honestly at that point it doesn't matter as much, does it? Apologies if this comes off negative it's not my intent, but I do want to point out what I see on the other side of the fence is all.
  • @snowflake3495
    I had a vision about morgana with that item just imagine how long her cc will be
  • @mattye3173
    this gives me the idea of ad crit sylas with this build
  • I was theorizing navori yasuo before navori became a fidget spinner
