Let me just say this about the bruiser / damage crap going on.

As a Yi main, I NEVER go bruiser / tank without item 3931. EVER. Even before Guinsoo's rework. And guinsoo's just feels so god damn useless without it .. UNLESS you have a shit ton of attack speed that just make it feel like you have sated anyway cough KogMaw Guess what the problem is.

Wanna know the similarity between MasterYi Jax XinZhao Fiora ? They all have AUTO resets and attack speed boosters. Another problem. They will OUT DPS your ass. Give them a item 3748 and they'll squeeze in 1 more basic within a millisecond. That's why you mostly lose to them regardless, and that's why they work so well with item 3931 and/or tanky items.

They're able to dish out their damage and on-hits faster than you can. It doesn't matter what they build to be honest. If any of them are able to farm lots or get fed, they'll still be able to demolish you. That's how it's always been. The items are simply just buffing them. Especially item 3931 and item 3748 .

So Riot's either gonna have to take look at those items or buff item 3143 item 3110 attack speed slows really hard.

Honestly, since they first introduced the "sated" concept with Final Flare(I think it was called) it has never been balanced, it is either out of proportionally strong, or underwhelming. I honestly think there just needs to be something different done with an attack speed jungle item. Maybe like rageblade, it could scale up in attack speed instead of just having a ton of magic damage added in

I find it hilarious that Riot tries to use their push for more "team-oriented plays" as an excuse and then you look at champions like yi and jax who can build item 3931 / item 3748 and have extremely high dps and tankiness as a result. With how fast the game progresses now, these champions can hit their powerspikes and snowball much faster and are capable of wiping out teams easily with just a lulu and a secondary support. Yep, teamwork will definitely help you deal with a 3-item sated yi who can 1v3 while you also have to deal with his 4 teammates.

Champions who rely too much on autos (besides glass cannons like adcs) really need to have their power shifted elsewhere. They break too easily when anything attack speed related happens.
