Am I the only one who doesn't like the new items and ap changes?

Yeah, we have some flashy items but... All changes seem bad, rabadon will still cost 3800, zhonyas will have its active CD increased. Mana regen is being switched to flat mana. We will no longer have any spellvamp.

So zed has windows to kill you. With 90s he barely can't kill you( with his ultimate ofc, with the rest he can still shit on you ). Now that it has a 120s, he can kill you after stomping you in lane!

Its already hard enough lasting against him early game with no mana pots, now they've taken a good amount of damage away. How am I supposed to kill people if I don't do as much damage? And why not wait until these new items are out before nerfing ap mid damage? The new updates aren't coming till 6.9 I heard so we have to last a while with these nerfs

Because riot doesn't care, at all , about PBE feedback. They release it on normal servers, and if it is too fucked up, they hotfix

I haven't been a fan of any changes Riot has made since late season 5.

item 3174 is now a support item? I don't really get why they'd change that to a support item but okay.

Riot has the tendency of not seeing they were wrong until very very late. Odds are this changes will remain the same

Obviously not, judging by all the posts?

I'm not a fan either. It's a major nerf to all AP mid laners. Why they chose flat Mana and killed CDR is a mystery. Their "goal" was to help mages for the MYMU. Instead they just killed them all. All the changes hurt/cripple/kill any chance of being relevant.

While all of it looks bad, it may still be possible to play AP mages. I'm saying "possible" because it'll almost guarantee we need to rework our builds. The new Hextech items look....okay and plausible. The new staff/scepter isn't that bad. I feel like it could a new core item.

What also hit me was this is all on the PBE. Things are always changing on the PBE. So there's a good chance Rito is only doing this to get a community response. Then before the MYMU actually happens, they put back CDR and things they removed. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on Surrender@20 from now on.
