Make Stormrazor better for ADCs and not Assassins
>New recipe: B.F. Sword + Long Sword + Long Sword + Dagger + 500g Total cost decreased to 2800 from 3200. AD decreased to 65 from 75. Attack speed decreased to 25% from 30%.
This is a start, Stormrazor was pretty powerful and is an essential rush item in almost every AD champion's build and that was pretty stupid.
But since we're already in an assassin/skirmisher meta at the moment and ADCs are becoming less and less relevant, can't we just make Stormrazor better for ranged champions or keep melee champions from using it altogether?
I don't know about you guys, but when I use it, it's way too strong on Yi and I hate feeling required to get it on Tristana if I want to have the slightest chance of winning.
There's two ways you can improve Stormrazor:
- Increase Attack Speed, decrease Attack Damage. I talked with a friend of mine who plays nothing but assassins and he recommended this to balance it. With more attack speed than damage, Rengar's the only assassin that could still use it viably (and even then, not so much) while no ADC could abuse it.
- Make it only for Ranged champions. Think Runaan's Hurricane. Since the previous change would fix all assassins but leave a few skirmishers unchecked (and also make it lackluster for ADCs who need early AD), the alternative option is to just slap a "Ranged Only" label on it. This has no game balance issues that I can think of.
Your thoughts?
