Trinity Force Change?!

5/17 PBE Update

I was actually surprised about it. It doesn't seems to be the finalized version I guess, but the Trinity Force losing crit for 40% attack speed. So if corki builds it, no early crits for him?? Irelia dominating with taht attack speed, Poppy with Trinity Force hitting so fast and still hurts. This can be a game changing item that its supposed to be. We shall see about how it gets the old crit.

EDIT: I absolutely loved the attention you guys gave to this post. This might be the first of my post to get this much attention. But in otherwise, GangPlank is likely to be forced towards more of an AD type than Trinity then tank type builds. Corki does goes crit later on so that doesnt matter. Irelia will heal so much faster. Jax can now top 2.5x attack speed easily. Poppy cares about the Sheen proc but the Stinger shouldnt affect her by that much. As far as it goes, only one affected are Gangplank and Maybe even full crit Rengar. So indirectly speaking, another Rengar nerf. LOL!

I'm curious to see how this'll affect Gangplank Him going Triforce + Full armor pen wouldn't surprise me...

20% CDR...

That's probably going to make it a better rush item on a lot of champions, but it might make some builds a little awkward.

Though I suppose that means I can stop building Frozen Heart on Irelia for the CDR.

Itll be nice to not have the crit. Yasuo and Corki wanting it a bit less is nice.

I swear if this goes through they're going to have to gut Irelia.

Honestly I'm really looking forward to this change. Most of the when I need a sheen item I just opt to buy Iceborn gauntlet (even though trinity is far superior) just because of the extra CDR. It fills out my build paths so much better.

This having 20% CDR now makes the choice between IBG & TF much easier.

New Tiger Udyr build!: item 3009 item 1412 item 3078 item 3748 item 3065 item 3742

New poppy build! (my main): item 3009 item 3078 item 3748 item 3075 item 3068 item 3065

As a Jax main I'm happy for these changes since he kinda lives and dies by his synergy with certain items, but as someone who also plays gangplank Riot is probably gonna end up having to make a new item to fill the Crit Sheen void left by this change, so like sheen+agility cloak+ bf sword for a new 50-65 ad 20% crit 10% cdr 3600 gold sheen item that can be the ADC crit sheen item riot tried to make tri force at the beginning of the season

sheen items were never meant to be used by ADCs. AD casters dont belong bot, period.

However, a manaless sheen item would be GREAT for champions like garen. Who would break a full AD, crit sheen item. A lot. Like... a lot a lot.

How am I supposed to get atleast 50% crit on Gangplank now. Statick don't proc on barrels. Only sheen. But I still go static anyway.

It also rips away the big hit from someone like Trundle's bite, or Illaoi's leap. I miss the old Trinity Force already. [zombie-nunu-bummed]
