Talk:Dark Harvest/@comment-25122281-20190219134925

Is Dark Harvest really about stacks? I feel like its main strenght is the resets in teamfights. Otherwise it would be really meh. After all, there's a reason it used to have higher base damage than electrocute. Let's say you collect 20 stacks, which is quite a lot. You get 100 extra damage (or 40 on ARAM, Nexus Blitz or URF) and that means next to nothing in the lategame.

And don't get me wrong, I like it this way. I certainly wouldn't want every DH user to become a clone of Veigar or Nasus. It's just a bit counterintuitive that the "infinite" stacking doesn't mean much here.

But that poses a question. If I'm right, then you can take Dark Harvest even in situations where you can't stack it too well. Is that the case? Would DH still be useful even if I'm on 5 stacks 40 minutes into the game?
