Zeke's Convergence
Zeke's Convergence is adjusted in patch 7.3 for supports who engage from range: casting your ultimate deals 150 magic damage and slows nearby enemies, and the effect waits for an enemy champion to come in range.
Riot found that some users cast their ultimate before reaching the action and lost the item's value. The effect now waits for an enemy champion to come in range, for up to 5 seconds.
It is an engage item for tank supports, rebalanced against mixed compositions (25 armor and 25 MR). 7.3 recipe: Kindlegem + Cloth Armor + Null-Magic Mantle.
