Is The Brutalizer coming in LoL Season 14?

Riot released a preview of the changes that are coming in Season 14. Assassin items will be getting massive changes. One name that veterans will remember for sure is making its comeback. You guessed it, it’s The Brutalizer.

The Brutalizer Stats and Recipe

The cost and the recipe of The Brutalizer don’t look too bad, but there is room for improvement. If you are getting it on a jungler, it might take you two full clears to get it, except if you have Future’s Market. Pickaxe as a component is fairly good, but considering that the Serrated Dirk will cost only 1000 gold, it might delay Brutalizer purchases for the second or third item.

  • Total Cost: 1337 gold
  • Item Recipe: Glowing Mote + Pickaxe + 212 gold
  • 25 Attack Damage
  • 10 Ability Haste
  • 8 Lethality

What Does the Brutalizer Build Into?

Since Riot will remove the Mythic item mechanic from the game, builds will be getting a lot more diversity. The Brutalizer won’t be the best epic item in the game, but he will build into core assassin items, and those are:

Serylda’s Grudge

  • Total Cost: 3200 gold
  • Item Recipe: Brutalizer + Last Whisper + 413 gold

  • Passive – Flux: Scoring a takedown against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them refunds 10% (+ 0.4% per 1 Lethality) of your ultimate ability’s total cooldown.

That’s all the information you should know about The Brutalizer. The items and their balance are being tested, and we shouldn’t be surprised if some or even all of their values change before the next season starts. You can try them out yourself in-game if you have the PBE version downloaded. For more guides like this one, check out the links below.
