Hey guys. If you havent already, check out my initial post about the itemization changes youll be seeing during the preseason. Today I thought Id reveal a new item we cant wait for you to get your hands on.

Ranged Carries traditionally have had the role of completely and utterly dominating a single target through high-capacity damage. However, many of our AD carries also have a substantial amount of Area of Effect damage that they currently are unable to specialize into. This leads them to an interesting paradox I am a carry with strong Area of Effect damage, but I must itemize single target damage to stay relevant.

What if we could give you an alternative?

Runaans Hurricane

• (Ranged Only)
  
• +60% Attack Speed
  
• UNIQUE Passive: Your basic attacks fire minor bolts at 2 nearby targets, each dealing (50% of Total Attack Damage) physical damage. These apply on-hit effects.
  

First of all, lets examine what this item actually does:

Hurricane allows your ranged basic attacks to fire secondary bolts at nearby targets. These bolts cannot critically strike but can trigger your other on-hit effects, such as Varus Blighted Quiver in the above example. This allows characters like Varus or Miss Fortune, already strong Area of Effect damage dealers, to specialize into Area of Effect damage if theyd like to do so.

Lets delve further into specifics:

1. Hurricane triggers each time you attack.

2. Hurricane is not an on-hit proc, nor does it trigger off of spells or abilities like Mystic Shot or Double Up that apply on-hit effects.

3. Hurricane deals 50% of your total attack damage.

4. Hurricane applies the full effect of on-hit effects with each bolt.

Taking this further, lets explore how Hurricane interacts with various champion abilities:

• Varus Applies Blighted Quiver on everyone hit, which can then get triggered by his other spells.
  
• Caitlyn Gains one stack of Headshot for each target hit. Fires Headshot only at the primary target.
  
• Graves Reduces the cooldown of Quickdraw for 2 seconds for each target hit.
  
• Miss Fortune Applies and stacks Impure Shots on every target hit. Activating Impure Shots will apply Grievous wounds to every target hit.
  

Champions that synergize poorly with Hurricane would be:

• Ezreal Doesnt really have any effects that synergize with Hurricane.
  
• Vayne Silver bolts only applies on the primary target and requires consecutive hits to proc, thus Hurricane is mostly wasted.
  

We hope that Hurricane opens up some interesting build paths for AD carries looking to specialize in area of effect damage. While Hurricane certainly isnt for every ranged character, we do hope that Hurricane allows carries to diverge from the standard path of single target damage in favor of a more AoE centric build they can use to gun down multiple opponents at the same time.
