Thoughts on gadgets? (+ list of ones we know)

Here are the known gadgets, note that these do take up an item slot but have passive effects to compensate

  • Aura repellent - 1500 - passive effect: 25 health, active effect: Knockback all enemies within 8m, 35s cooldown
  • Med kit - 1500 cash - passive effect: 25 health, active effect: restores 20 life every 1s for 10s, taking damage removes the effect early. 25 second CD
  • field support - 4000 cash - passive effect: 25 armor, 5% weapon power, active effect: Place a Biotic Field at your location that restores 50 life every 1s for 5s, 20s cooldown
  • Kitsune charm - 9000- passive effect: 50 shields, -40% negative effect duration, active effect: Clean yourself of most negative effects, restore 75 life, and gain invulnerability and 75% move speed for 0.65s, 45s cooldown
  • Jet skates - 9500 - passive effect: 25 health, 10% weapon power, 10% ability power. Active effect: Dash a short distance (seems comparable to cass roll), 12s cooldown
  • Colossus Core - 11,000 - Passive effect: 10% health/armor/shields, 40% knockback resist, 40% slow resist, on use: gain unstopaable, 25% damage reduction, 25% max life, and grow in size, but deal 25% reduced damage and healing for 3s, 45s cooldown

There also appears to be an attack speed boost one but we don’t know the stats

I was kind of hoping there’d be a dedicated slot for these since some builds desperately need a money sink (I often have over 20k unspent cash as rein) but if they did that I think they’d become just a place to spend your leftovers while having them in the main slots lets them have passive effects

The low cost ones will probably replace the +25 armor item that a lot of people take in round 1 so it’ll probably make the early rounds a bit more varied. The mid cost ones seem good as a “I have 4k to kill and I already bought all the good WP or AP upgrades”, and I think the late game ones will be the toughest sells but in some matches 9000 cash to disable JQs ult for the rest of the match is well worth it
