Your Opinion of Items

[wingdnosring]

What types of items do you like in hero-based Warcraft games? More specifically, AoS style games?

I will keep this feedback in mind while working on my current project.

Raw attributes, as you won't have to constantly check for cooldowns etc.
They're easier IMHO

 

[wingdnosring]

^ Agreed. My vote went in there too. I don't like items much in general and I like to keep them seperate from the general gameplay as much as possible.

If I could vote for multiple options I would. I personally like when you have a bunch of different items with different effects. An item that gives you a huge temporary speed boost, or an item that grants you temporary spell immunity, etc.

I personally think that attribute items are nice, but also rather boring. The one thing about them I hate the most is they seem to make the game have 'best' items. There should be selection that increases different things which are better for different ways of playing.

Passive abilities could be cool, if they weren't generic like "Evasion" or "Critical Strike".

Well.
Best are activated items. It allows different tactics. Item/skill combos could be fun too. [not combinations, but stuff like net&flamestrike]
Permanent items are good, especially for beginners. Usually, an activated ability should have about 50% more effect for the same cost. If they cost mana, they should have an even greater effect. For example a +x to health regen should cost about the same like an activated item that heals 40x health with 10 sec cooldown, but for 5x mana (or whatever).

Items with spells make the game much more interesting.

Personally I prefer consumables.
What I really would like to see, is a AoS that uses pure consumables, like scrolls that cast spells that could be called ulti's.

Items with spells for sure. Waaay more interesting .

Yeah, but sometimes cooldowns get annoying with item abilities. My vote went in the first one. Same reason as azereus.

Passives FTW.
Actually, I like anything pertaining to move speed. I'm obsessed with it.

Passives.

Clicking on items is annoying. and tedious.
