Talk:Frost Queen's Claim/@comment-25399308-20151210162837

Frost Queen's Claim is literally too good to pass up on most mages right now, and will be nerfed soon. How is this and why haven't I heard about it yet? I'll tell you what:

It is 350G cheaper than Morello's, and even more so than Athene's. Although you will lose 30AP and 10% CD from going this route, Morello's active is just too niche now (you would only buy it against Swain or Vlad, Soraka would be useless). '''Don't start Spellthief's Edge as your starting item! '''This would jeopardize your laning phase and weaken your presence. Build Doran's or similar as normal, and rush FQC like you would with Morello's.

While being cheaper, you will also GAIN gold from it passively, and actively from trades. With 1000G+ by mid game, it is powerful as it offsets the nerfed costs of AP items, giving you an item advantage. This final stage of the item is what makes it abusable, as farming minions won't disable it unlike the previous stages.

150% mana regeneration, being 50% more than Morello's and situationally stronger than Athene's, rivaling it until midlate game. This can make the difference on whether hitting the last ability versus being out of mana.

Very, very powerful active that is versatile. This is the pinnacle of Frost Queen's Claim, the bread and butter of your carry potential. Self-explainatory, spooky ghosts. Being on a 60s cooldown (nerf) auto-targeted (nerf) with a 4 second slow (nerf), it can break stealth (lol) on champions like Vayne and ruin their day.

Want to make sure the jungler isn't nearby? Spooky ghosts. Can kill but your opponent is defensive? Spooky ghosts. Want to burn a flash? Spooky ghosts. Want to disrupt a gank on bot-lane? Spooky ghosts. Need to save someone? Spooky ghosts. Want to decide a teamfight? Spooky ghosts.
