Terminus

Patch 7.0c

Buff

• Terminus gets better value for its cost, aimed at lifting on-hit marksmen in late-game teamfights.

• Getting more for the same gold makes it easier to slot in early rather than pushing it back to a third or fourth item. It still rewards staying in range and stacking basic attacks, so that prerequisite has not changed, but the longer a teamfight runs the more the improvement shows. This note does not list the resulting values, so check the in-game item description for the exact numbers.

Champions who build Terminus

Read from the "Popular" tab on the in-game loadout screen. Across 314 builds covering 142 champions, 6 build this item. Only 1 to 4 builds were captured per champion, so a champion missing here may still build it.
