I have honestly never felt so bad in my life....The legit tears of seeing that crit damage removed from my main item in almost all of my builds though :'( I mean, it isn't even a Tri-force now....there is no force on the stinger at all. Change the name please, it's a dishonor to the Original 3. So much sadness, feelsbadman.

Then it's no longer triforce, because as the name implies, it is meant to be trinity of the three primary offenses found in league of legends: physical damage via phage, magic damage via sheen (well, formerly magic damage before riot decided players were confused about AP on sheen coughbullfuckingshitcough), and the attack speed and crit that it delivered to attack speed focused bruisers like Trundle and Udyr. Believe it or not, being able to crit every once and a while helps out a ton during fights, as while the damage from sheen is great and all, it is ultimately not enough on its own to be useful other than for pushing towers and getting off faster spell rotations, however, faster spell rotations on melee bruisers is only good if they have an on-hit effect to make proper use sheen.
As it stands, Jax and Irelia are the only ones with considerable effects on their abilities that make proccing sheen more important than ever. The item focuses on specific champions instead of a specific class and that is not fair to balance, because the two said champions I mentioned are extremely difficult to itemize against due to the nature of their abilities: true damage and hybrid damage, meanwhile the others just fall right off because they have no additional means of doing damage. I get the feeling that phantom dancer is going to become an even more important item for countering this as well as mitigating the amount of damage these two are going to be shitting out everywhere.

It's Trinity Force. Making it a focused item defeats the entire purpose. You thought the balance of the game is bad now? This change to Triforce is about to warp everything and not in a good way.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesGangplank and Yasuo in particular are being monitored closely because this change is quite significant for them. If they fall below acceptable levels they'll get some compensation.
JustMonika131 votesMore like Gangplank and Corki. Corki already got a buff this patch but he will probably need more since Triforce was an absolute buy on him.
Yasuo isn't suffering much, he has other items. Hell, something like PD > IE > TF (or BC for that matter) > DD > SG can be built. It sounds good in paper at least. I dunno. Yasuo still benefits from attack speed now tuned up on TF, and any little bit of health helps.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesKnew I'd forgotten someone. Kept coming up with Irelia cuz I knew Triforce would affect her, but it's mostly a buff for her.
Spicy Rice1 votesWhile he does benefit from the attack speed, having to buy 3 highly offensive items makes him insanely squishy compared to before.
JustMonika131 votesI'd be the first to say that a normal Yasuo build (especially in ranked) is PD or SS > IE > Lifesteal item > Two tanks items. Still think that with Phantom Dancer, Death's Dance and S. Gage and taking Warlords, he could have just enough survivability to make it out of most situations (barely) alive, the health TriForce (or--again-- Black Cleaver) could help with that.
Marshbouy1 votesI was super sad that this change when out right when i started to play gangplank

You say this as if tirnity force has ALWAYS had crit.
Newsflash; it didnt used to have crit, or at least not a lot of it, and was purely a FIGHTER item. it was designed for champs like jax and irelia, not corki and ezreal who never used it in the first place.
