Dont be ignorant, the tabi nerfs will be a bigger nerf for adcs than most of the classes

Tabi nerf means tanks cant stonewall top as hard anymore, which means bruisers can snowball lane and shit on bot lane/map mid game again, also adcs become far eaiser to burst and dive as ad champs (its much, much easier to kill a tabi-less adc say as riven while its almost impossible to kill one with tabi + a support).

Tabi nerf means that assassins dont get their burst blocked by a 1100 gold item the adcs builds every game, now they'll only have the 2400 gold ga to defend themselfes from assassins, which is a full item and has a massive CD.

Adcs can kill tabi targets easily late game, and tabi will still exist (just in a worse not auto win vs ad item) so it really doesnt change that much in that secnario.

So stop spewing garbage saying that adcs will somehow become "broken" with tabi nerfs when its going to affect them negatively, not positively.

Except part of the issue is bruisers can't do shit to ADCs right now and having more top lane doesn't actually fix the issue.. just adds to the squishy comps that ADCs can kill through.

If anything, now bruisers will take more damage from ADCs with the tabi nerfs, while also getting shit on by gnar and maybe jayce.. or a comeback from panth. Tanks will have a harder time against bruisers perhaps, but then that makes tanks less relevant for frontlining against an ADC and CC locking them.

Assassin's aren't really affected much. The strongest auto attack assassins are kha'zix and rengar.. so that's buffing them when they're already doing well (too well) is just going to break them uncontrollable.. they're already on thin ice for nerfs (maybe not rengar, idk) and that would just make them get nerfed starting the cycle over again... or it would make no difference at all because kha'zix one shots through tabi as it is now and I'm pretty sure max stacked rengar can do the same. Maybe talon or nocturne will get an indirect buff back into the meta idk, but that doesn't solve the issue either.

While yes I hate tabi ADCs, them not building it doesn't really make them weaker, tabi adcs are more of a crutch especially when playing vs. other ADCs, ironically, nerfing it would make ADCs even more snowbally and stronger because their only defensive item just disappears, assuming its nerfed enough for them not to take it ever. So if you thought coming back through bot lane was hard already, get ready.

May i direct your attention to the Conqueror keystone, coming on 8.6?

Which may not only buff bruisers quite a bit, but may well break a few of them.

If it does anything at all for them outside of laning.

Bruisers get kited to hell.

Mmm, ADCs won't be affected as much because they have their babysitters to protect them with shields, heals, and if needed, additional meat bags to make sure they live.

Those are some pretty salient points.

I dont know what this is, but it sounds terrible.

It could go both ways and there will probably be outliers, though..

2 full built lethality items stopped by 1 tabi. Adcs should be building more than 1 item that is only 1100 g not stop a me someone like a talon from killing them. Really adcs shouldn't be spamming tabis every game anyways since they tend to build it to fight other adcs too, not just against assassins and divers. Really it hits everyone that would build tabi like bruisers, tanks, and etc since sure adcs could get through tabi easily in late but ad assassins couldn't.
