Full crit into Zhonyas experiment

Thought this sub might be interested.

Dummy with ~3k HP, 50 Armor, 50 MR.

Level 18 Yunara with C44, PD, Infinity, LDR and Vamp boots.

So, I added Bloodthirster, Zhonya's and found the following per auto.

  1. Base: 476 Physical + 54 magic = 530 damage. (Same with Q active)
  2. Zhonyas: 476 Physical + 107 magic = 583 damage.
  3. Zhonyas with Q Active: 476 Physical + 133 magic = 609 damage.
  4. Bloodthirster: 614 Physical + 65 magic = 679 (Same with Q active)

Depending on game, I'd say if you're playing full crit, Zhonya's 5th item might be useful. You get a modest damage increase which will mostly be active since late game fights would almost always be with your Ultimate up, and you get the Zhonya's survivability.

Obviously, not as much damage as Bloodthirster, but by that point, the life steal from runes and boots is more than enough and personally, I prefer the Stasis over the BT shield to avoid getting one-shot.

Zhonya's is not as worthless on this champion as on other ADCs.

With Kraken, getting Zhonya's is a non-factor I'd say because if you're not at 100% crit, you don't get full value out of it and by the time you build it, it'll be your 7th item and honestly, how often does that happen....

That's all. Maybe you want to experiment with it.

Game is still completely unplayable for some people

One of the recent updates broke AOE2 and it silently crashes to desktop after 5-10 minutes in menu/game. Win10 and Win11 users are affected.

On my system I'm on latest windows updates, latest Nvidia upgrades with all overlays disabled.

Logs show nothing about the crash and windows events/reliability manages also do not catch the crash or the reason for it.

Support is aware but "has no ETA on an available fix".

Meanwhile, the game can't be ran at all.
