This is what Chovy is truly worried about in the current season
In the current season, there is an item that is becoming extremely viral. In fact, this item is not overpowered, nor has it received any notable adjustments, but it has become incredibly useful and any AP champion can build it. Even champions that previously had no ability to use it can now take advantage of it, specifically the Hextech Rocketbelt. However, because this item has become so popular, it brings another concern for Chovy.
Specifically, in a recent statement, Chovy said: “I feel like the Hextech Rocketbelt is really helping a lot of champions, and even with certain options, for example, Aurora, I can completely build Rocketbelt as my first item. This item has its weaknesses, but player skill can address them.”
“Moreover, if you build Liandry’s Anguish, it requires precise skill usage to be effective. Therefore, I think the Rocketbelt is more effective. And because it is so popular right now, it is genuinely concerning if it gets “noticed” in future updates. So, what I fear the most right now is the Rocketbelt getting nerfed” – Chovy concluded.
Chovy’s concerns could definitely happen
In fact, items that are not overly strong but suddenly become viral are often targeted by Riot. The Hextech Rocketbelt is currently favored by AP champions, and in many matches, it is the item that can turn the tide of a team fight. Therefore, the likelihood of Riot paying attention to this item in the near future is quite high.
However, the Hextech Rocketbelt also has the characteristic of being suitable only for AP champions, especially those who tend to dive in to make plays. This could be a reason why even if this item is adjusted, it may not be too much.
