Infinity Edge Rebalance Suggestion

Troll2GG··1 votes·554 views

The recent Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer changes were designed to adjust the power of the popular Statikk Shiv + Infinity Edge combo, particularly in the context of ranged attack damage carries. However, as many have noted, the nerf has hurt many of the other Infinity Edge users who are melee, such as Yasuo. Although Yasuo may have been in need of an adjustment, other melee champions who relied on Infinity Edge are less deserving. I propose that Infinity Edge be re-tuned to maintain the ADC nerf intended (20% Critical Chance for ranged), but give the melee champions, who are mostly underpowered at current, their power back (25% Critical Chance for melee). Individual champion power concerns, such as Yasuo, can be addressed through champion specific adjustments as is normally done. Thoughts?

Yasuo is broken from many things. the whole IE argument is irrelevant if his passive double crit is already a total gimmick that gives him the power to win trades.

not really. The main difference between a Melee ADC and a Ranged ADC is their kit. Tryndamire, Yasuo, Yi have, built in sustain, CC, moments of invulnerability. etc, while most Ranged ADC's do not.

It's probably easier to buff champion kit's rather than to mess with itemization.
