The new AD item, really... Riot? Is this really balance?

I don't know why Riot would even introduce this, yes, it has cool effects and actually really benefits some champs in some cases but over all it is a horrible addition! I just think we were fine without it.

I mean, the fact that a Vayne can have the same ult as Zed is frightening! Like what if Elise went AD and used this item... her E and this item would literally 1 shot anyone.

All in all, I definitely this is a step in the wrong direction.

some rioter is currently maining zed and wants more freelo.

soon as he gets bored, things will simmer down again.

i think riot realized how much fun it is to fuck with their player base.

"yea we know season 5 was op for juggernauts and tanks and stuff... so we promise season 6 will be the adc season! lets not change juggernauts, lets rework a bunch of mages to make them op again AAAAND lets bring back assassins stronger than ever. enjoy your season adc mains!"

I think the item was necessary. That being said, they've also acknowledged that there would be a lot of fringe cases that need to be addressed directly with the item. Long term I think it will lead to a healthy balance, but they'll have to figure out how they want to make it work for their intended users first.

I'm not surprised to hear that Vayne players are picking it up, but I think it'll drop off by next patch. Most other ADC's don't utilize it well, so she specifically looks to be one of those fringe cases that will have to be addressed directly.

Riot already said that if it becomes too much of a problem on ADCs they'll make it melee only.
