Heartsteel is a brand new mythic item that was added to League of Legends along with the pre-season 2023 update. It has turned out to be excessively over-tuned and fans are not happy about it.This item is designed to be used on tanks. However, in its current state, it can be utilized by everyone, which in turn leads to an unpleasant experience amongst the majority of the player base.Skooch@SkoochLoLHeartsteel is so insane. I can't believe that item actually made it through any sort of revisions at all.Did riot really not notice that building it on hyper mobile carries would be infinitely more beneficial since they'll ALWAYS get 3+ stacks a fight?Am I missing something?212148Heartsteel is so insane. I can't believe that item actually made it through any sort of revisions at all.Did riot really not notice that building it on hyper mobile carries would be infinitely more beneficial since they'll ALWAYS get 3+ stacks a fight?Am I missing something?ADCs quite often dismiss their regular builds and rush Heartsteel within matches to maximize their damage output. This has led to an outcry within the community as they want Riot Games to fix the new mythic item as soon as possible before the official release of Season 13 in January 2023.Heartsteel has been the go-to item in the ARAM game mode in League of LegendsBefore proceeding further, League of Legends fans will be willing to find out on why Heartsteel is being considered broken. As it happens, this item provides 20 ability haste, 800 health, and 200% base health regeneration, which is quite massive.Renato Perdigão@ShakarezHeartsteel Sion seems a bit busted lol54Heartsteel Sion seems a bit busted lolMattyLoveGaming@MattyLoveGamingSo ARAM has turned into a 5 heartsteel vs 5 heartsteel stacking speedrun now?... Nice120344So ARAM has turned into a 5 heartsteel vs 5 heartsteel stacking speedrun now?... NiceApart from that, its passive allows a champion to generate stacks when within 700 units of an enemy, each of which can generate up to a total of three times. Once these stacks have been gathered, the next basic attack by the champion will be empowered and hence deal 125 (+6% maximum health) bonus damage.It will also grant permanent bonus health to the bearer equal to 12.5 (+0.6% maximum health) with a mere 30-seconds cooldown. In short, if a champion is consistently surrounded by three enemies, the former will be able to consistently proc the bonus damage.Makkro 🐐🐏♈️@MakkroLoLFirst Impressions for new season for Ornn:1.

Therefore, the damage output of every champion building this item enhances exponentially.Erknaite@zac_gaming__Heartsteel Mythic on ARAM is so broken14Heartsteel Mythic on ARAM is so broken https://t.co/qqGzzcY4SHStorkrigarn@littlefancypantI'm just a heartsteel enjoyer that's all 7I'm just a heartsteel enjoyer that's all 😳 https://t.co/NlRZGYf7ivHypermobile champions such as Lucian and Akali are the ones who benefit the most as they have the ability to dive behind enemy lines and then dash back to safety. As such, they can generate stacks from Heartsteel's passive at a rapid rate.MDC Sushi@SushisRollIts draft but still, new heartsteel tank mythic with grasp akali is beyond broken. Hope they nerf heartsteel in next patch. #LeagueOfLegends3Its draft but still, new heartsteel tank mythic with grasp akali is beyond broken. Hope they nerf heartsteel in next patch. #LeagueOfLegends https://t.co/ih42udRwD1Once these stacks are combined with their base damage, it leads to a situation that the receiving side does not enjoy at all. The worst part of all this is that these hypermobile champions can keep doing this on a consistent basis throughout the game.LCS Pikachu@LCS_PikachuHeartsteel is the worst thing added to this game since Yuumi47Heartsteel is the worst thing added to this game since YuumiMichael@DotAGeniusIt's been 6 days since Heartsteel has been terrorizing ARAMs and my dreams...make it stop2It's been 6 days since Heartsteel has been terrorizing ARAMs and my dreams...make it stopIn any case, this is not the first instance where Riot Games has released an item that is broken. Items like Deathfire Grasp and Ranger's Trailblazer were so overpowered that they had to be permanently deleted for the sake of maintaining peace.It is impossible to predict whether Heartsteel will follow the same route in League of Legends. However, this item will definitely need a lot of fine-tuning before League of Legends Season 13 officially begins in January 2023.
