With hourglass active now being usable for AD champs somewhat (since its only once per game)

It made me realise how broken this active has been on ap champs for so long, now i can do risky tower dives, escape 1v3 tower dives as riven, and so much more.

Like you can see on how powerful is having access to a single use of its active on any champion now, and mages have had that for the longest time.

And ppl actually wanted hourglass buffs LOL, its no wonder it has been beyond overpowered for most of its existence and only since the lastest nerfs it became more alright.

So idk why some ppl here complain about "AP BEING SO BAD" when you have access to items like item 3157item 3165 item 3135 , flat pen is also completely overpowered atm item 3020 + item 3136 = 2600 gold for you to do true damage to squishies (and every non tank basically) for the rest of the game, and it doesnt even make your build worse as those items (item 3020 item 3151 ) are in most mage builds, its really annoying playing a bruiser and having 30 something mr so im basically getting 1 shotted by mages and im forced to build 1 full mr item against a 1 ap + 4 ad team otherwise the syndra will EQ R me for all of my health.

a bruiser building no defense are you sure you're not playing as an assassin at that point?

The available MR items are garbage for bruisers. The only real option is Maw, unless you're a sustain juggernaut like Mundo, and he has other defenses against AP. Even paired with Merc boots (which are outclassed hard by Tabi), you're still under 100 MR with a designed tank MR item.

Mages only get out of jail free card was item 3157

Now AD Champions have item 3155 item 3156 item 3053 item 2419 Nullifying Orb and lets not forget Lifesteal because Mages don't have Spellvamp anymore.

No, item 3146 doesn't count because how many times do you see this built on Azir , exactly.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot item 3026 , don't you dare say Hourglass is broken. Hourglass used to have 120 AP, what do you say to that.

Hourglass is stronger than all of those, and GA is just an adc item for the most part (300s cd too).

When hourglass had 120 ap with a 60s cd it was ridiculously broken, like i said in my post.

You're missing my point, over a year ago, AD champions just had maw since it was basically the Armor Penetration of Edge of Night before Lethality, but now they gave ADC's access to stopwatch and they made Guardian Angel no longer a tank item to the point where ADC's have 3/4 (if you count hexdrinker) we used to have anti-death items for every single champion type. Now every ADC can use all 3 except Sterak's because they recently changed it.

You used to play a metric ton of Fizz. If it didn't hit you then it was a good active then idk what finally did it now unless you're just saltposting about mages.

Im not making a hate post, and yes of course i was aware of its power back then (didnt you see where i said it was broken before the nerfs?), its just mindblowing on how good it also is on AD champs (you'd think it would be much worse by its nature of making you unable to auto attack).

Im just trying to wake ppl here that are somehow saying that AP items are bad or that ap champs are bad, because i see that too often and it doesnt make any sense when how absurdly powerful certian ap items + pen are.

Like if they gave everyone 10 mr back at lvl 1 pen wouldnt be a problem anymore, its just really dumb that even if you're against a single ap champ and they go pen you have to build atleast a full MR item or you'll get 1 shoted, you know im not biased i play both ad and ap champs.
