## Deathfire Grasp

If you played [League of Legends](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=surrenderat15.com) back in the day, you already know what this item was about. **Deathfire Grasp** was the kind of item that made you go ***“yeah, this shouldn’t be in the game.”***

Video of Deathfire Grasp Showing Its True Power.

The whole thing was the **active**. You pressed it first, chunk like **15% of someone’s HP instantly**, and then dump your combo while they’re taking **increased magic damage**. If you were even a bit ahead, that target was just **dead**. No real **chance to react** unless they had **flash** and insane reflexes.

Deathfire Grasp Active Abillity.

Some **champs** abused it way harder than others. **LeBlanc** was probably the **worst offender**. **DFG + full combo** and you’re gone before you even process what happened. Same with **Veigar,** he was already **overkilling people**, DFG just made it even more **stupid**.

What made it really annoying was that it **scaled with you**. The more **AP** you had, the harder it hit, and then it **boosted the rest of your damage** on top. So once you got ahead, it just **snowballed out of control**. You didn’t **outplay people**, you just **deleted them faster than they could play**.

### Deathfire Grasp Stats

- **Cost:** 3100 gold
- **Ability Power:** +120 AP
- **Cooldown Reduction:** +10% CDR

**Active – Deathfire:** Deals magic damage equal to 15% of the target's current Health (+ scaling with Ability Power) and increases all magic damage taken by 15% for 4 seconds. 

It basically turned **AP mages** into **point-and-click nukes**. If you were playing a **squishy without MR**, you were just hoping they mess up. Most of the time, they didn’t. 

No surprise **Riot Games** **removed it**. Fun to use, yeah, but playing against it? Not really.
