Lethality needs to go.
When professional players in the LCS start stacking multiple of the same item just to get more lethality, that alone should clue riot in on how broken this concept is. The early power spike is massive, and thats no counter play because of how easily and fast you can get it, so by the time you get your health and armor items, it's too late. In no way is this the answer to the adc problems, if that was the intention. It has to go. Everybody thinks its just armor pen, but its much worse, it's basically true damage, and assassins snowball so hard off it, same with any other AD. Where once there was some way to deal with an assassin who already has ridiculous burst and mobility, now its impossible. A level 5 lucian shouldnt be able to dash in and nearly one-shot the enemy adc with 2 autoattacks. Full armor/health items should not allow a zed to one-shot me anyway. Wtf is Riot thinking? This has been a horrible idea.

. Their passive is unique, so stacking multiple of the same itme is pointless. You can have one of each
without feeling bad about it.
being able to walk up to you q deal a busted amount of damage and walk away unharmed because turret only fired one shot and his passive absorbed it.
