This item, im really pissed that the only reason to buy it is for illusion heroes.

Why? Can't we make a change? Or am i just a fool that thought RATiance is only for farming?

It's not just for illusions heroes, and it's not just for farming. It's an item for tanky heroes as well.

Wraith King, Lone Druid, Bristleback...they don't buy this item primarily to farm, but as a "you can't kill me so I'll just keep damaging you" item.

Genarally, radiance is built for:

1. Farming
2. Split pushing illusion heros
3. What hamster said

Just to put it out there.
I lose my calm when i see 6.83 PLs building radiance in pubs.


********, i need to up my game to not see this sh!tplays.
But then i fear i may encounter those singsings and admiral bulldogs that make everything work on everyone.

I like Radiance on tanky/unkillable heroes, like Abadon. I don't think it's necessarily a farming item, because BF and Maelstrom both have way easier build-ups and are much better for farming.

You'd be surprised... Say you're running around in a fight for at least 10 seconds, that's
500 damage. On everyone thats been fully exposed. It's not amazing, but it's definitely nothing to scoff at.

in a teamfight lasting 30 seconds, you shall be doing 30 * 37.5 = 1125 damage. Bad? i think not.

edited : i was doing something else, popped the wrong values :/

Thanks for correcting my math. I forgot to factor in base magical resistance...
