Can you actually use Rod of Ages on League of Legends?
I've recently started playing League of Legends, and soon realized that when you buy Rod of Ages, a number at the bottom right increases as you kill somebody I guess, like on the example of the image below.
But when you try to press - number 1 on the keyboard to use it like you use Zhonyas for example, nothing happens. Does this item actually works like that, or am I misunderstanding its concept?
Best Answer
Using the League of Legends Wikia for reference;
The Rod of Ages gains +20 health, +40 mana and +4 ability power once a minute, up to ten times. The number next to it represents how many times the item has "upgraded", giving you a maximum of +200 health, +400 mana and +60 ability power, when the number reaches 10.
The item gives completely passive benefits, and thus has no activation.
As a side note, the item also restores 150 health and 200 mana, over 8 seconds, when you level up. This benefit is "unique"; Having multiple Rod of Ages does not give you multiple restorations on level.
