most of the problems this season were not the champions but abusive itemization.

tank Ekko Yasuo Fizz would not exist if it wasnt for the fact that item 3078 has 20%cdr. its too good for these champs. also the fact thatitem 3100 gets completely overshadowed currently doesn't help either.

where ass the champions it was designed forJax Irelia Ezreal Corki Mordekaiser MonkeyKing dont really need the cdr in fact its unhealthy for most of them if they get CDR this easily. most of these could receive meaningfull buffs if you would simply remiove CDR from trinity altogether and at the same time you remove a select group abusive item users from the game.

item 3116 need some reversion to its former selves rylai needs ap removed and health given back . this was intended as an ap bruiser item yet all i see is mages like Brand Cassiopeia Malzahar build it first or second.

now i have an idea for the item 3057 line of items. how about they all increase base ad instead of cdr? sheen would have 10% increase item 3025 would also have 10% increase (considering it does aoe) speaking of item 3025 it desperately needs 10%cdr instead of 20%,item 3110 currently overshadows completely. anyone that wants an adc to have reduced atk speed WILL BUILD item 3143 . and those that are looking for cdr and armor will 99/100 go for item 3025 .

now further with item 3078 item 3100 both would have 20% increase in base ad lichbane would do its onhit effect as magic damage however. also would it be possible to build it from item 1058 item 3113 item 3057 and then give it 100 ap? that would make it far more apealing to champions like Ekko to actually build it. just an idea. however neither trinity or lichbane would have cdr.

also can we get an item with health, armor and CDR by any chance? often i want to buy item 3110 but it feels like (and is) a waste with all the armor pen that people can build.

(ow hi there Lucian with your item 3071 item 3142 item 3033item 3158item 3072 item 3139 )

edit: did you know that if you are rammus at lvl 18 with a base armor of 104 and full armor item build which would be something like this: item 3047 item 3143 item 3742 item 3110 item 3068 item 3075 which would put you roughly at 500 armor (runes and masteries included) with your W active gives you another 120 armor so you are at a whopping 620 armor

item 3033 will remove 227 armor item 3142 20 item 3071 roughly 110 armor at full stacks leaving you at 263 armor that basically the armor from item 3047 item 3075 item 3110 item 3068 removed give or take with a bit of randuims armor %%%%%ed off

Yasuo doesn't really benefit from cdr as much as other champs. His q cooldown gets lower with attack speed. The fact that trinity lost crit probably made it less appealing especially with the changes to his ult that made it so only his crits benefit from the armor pen it provides. What made yasuo a big problem was frozen mallet along with the way his scales and his kit as a whole.

Ekko is just overloaded and riot has been chipping away at him for a while. You don't see other tanks building a trinity and wrecking because they don't have the tools to make as good use of it has ekko does. Ekko does percent health, slows, speeds himself up, has a shield/aoe stun/slow, and an undo button while being pretty mobile.

Ezreal and corki were never really about critting like other adcs so zeal was kinda meh for them. Mord didn't want crit either. The cdr arguably is better for them. Whether its better for them to have easy access to it is another story.

As for jax,irealia, and wu actually do like cdr. They rely on their abilites to do damage and stick to a target. Lower cooldowns= more damage for them. I don't think jax and wu have really been complained about since the trinity change. Irealia has and thats probably because theres not much outplay potential when her dash and stun are both guaranteed and she has true damage that scales with attack speed. Irealia's kit just synergizes too well with trinity.

Brand,Cass,and Malz always got ryliahs them getting it now is nothing new. The reason you're seeing more ryliahs is because ap has gone down and cdr has gone up. Its harder to burst someone down in a single rotation and mages are doing more dps because of the access to cdr. Ryliahs works well when you can get more spells off to apply the slow. Combine that with the fact that its one of the highest ap items along with providing health and a slow and theres very little reason to not pick it up.

I agree that itemization has been a issue this season. But your reasons as to why I feel are wrong. Some champs do need to be retuned with regards to items. For example I think some adcs need to be looked at again with how available cdr and armor pen are to them. I think cdr as a whole needs to looked at again along with ap value of items, and the availability of armor pen.

They could put the zeal back in triforce and let me build yas the way I used to.
