what does everyone think of the new items? i kind of feel like too many attack damage items either have cdr or critical strike. sure some of these items are great and help alot of champions, but not every item needs cdr and if not cdr, some critical strike. take for example runnan. the crit is a bit much considering ie boosts crit damage and the damage being done to the focused target is going to be as if the person had bought a stakkic shiv or Phantom dancer, and the crits make the bolts become as they were before but the additional 50% damage from ie makes them even stronger. adcs can now build so much more crit items. This is great and all but this means adcs can do more damage than tanks can build tank items, no>

OOOOKay a couple things.

First, while a lot of items gained some crit change, they also lost stats (like attack speed) meaning the damage the item provides should be about the same. Attack speed boots only got a 5% increase while phantom dancer went down by 15%, runanns down by 30%, etc. Second, by normalizing the stats on all the items and giving them unique abilities, you have created clear cut decisions about when you want certain items over other items.

I can't really think of any champion that isn't happy about getting cdr so the fact that its on lots of items now isn't really a problem to me. It also isn't on very many items, its mostly that Essance Reaver turns crit chance into cdr so................NOW theres a lot of cdr.

In regards to your IE, runanns synergy comment, Runanns bolt damage was lowered from 50% to 25% which means with ie, the bolts crit for 37.5% of the adc's attack damage. Its good synergy, but its not great.

Bottom line is adc's should be doing more damage. They shouldn't be getting solo'd by everything until late game because they are suppose to be the highest damage output on a team. Tanks shouldn't be able to outsustain or even necessarily outtank the adc's damage; they should be tanky enough to survive taking the carry on for a little while. During this little while, they should be locking down the super squishy character (squishier than any other champion in the game at this point) and getting his team to kill them.
