Riot games you've done it now. Lets talk about this.
I decided, "New crit items. Cool lets run some testing on pbe." And so I did. Took master yi and built him as follows.
and your new item Stormrazor. Time for some testing. I popped a target onto the ground and started using his abilities. I noticed the following:
- Because his Q can critically strike, the damage is also boosted by infinity edge's true damage.
- Him auto attacking you fully stacked with lethal tempo runs at around 3k dps + 100-200 true damage per auto (along with his true damage e)
- No one is running from you now. Should you gap close, your crit items as well as stormrazor are going to ensure no one escapes the whirlwind of pain you are about to unleash.
Now here I am thinking,"This is just natural for Yi", so I turned to another champ
. Boy oh boy was that fun.
Our friend jhin here is capable of a lot more than I first imagined. Lets get this out of the way. His built in auto crit passive and infinity edge first item do not make a happy couple. You walk in lane, 3 shot minions and your 4th beauty shot is gonna land in the adc's face. Your auto crit, missing health, 4th shot, with the bonus true damage, is going to hurt. I thought, "Ok sure, whatever, lets try full build jhin." My jhin build was the following:
and once again Stormrazor...
"Here we go."
First auto: Over 300 true damage,
Second and Third Autos: Same but slightly higher from stormrazor and guinsoos increases.
Fourth auto: 600-800 true damage depending on when your
is ready and if guinsoos is ready.
Once again, you are running faster than a hecarim on steroids, while hitting harder than a 5 man urf team of full crit garen's. You can outrun anyone but why would you when your autos delete them faster than me actually pressing my delete key.
I understand what you are doing. Bring adcs back. Buff them. Whatever. But the infinity edge changes take that waaaaaaaaaaaay to far. Stormrazor is a really cool item in my opinion, but what you did with infinity edge needs some work. You have to realize, this true damage works with just about anyone who has built in crit in their skills.
and
for example have it on their q's. (Too bad Old Zhao missed this one. May he remain in our memories
) Additionally, this item causes every
and
player to praise the sun gods some more. You gave them more damage as well as doubling their free crit. If you're gonna release this item reworked, please do something about this. Lower their boosted crit or change the interaction it does with their passives or change the boosted true damage to auto attacks only, please. Thats all I ask as a Talon main. We would love some time to get into the adc's face without getting blasted down at the door. #BringbackTalonCutthroat
I would love to hear about some other testing people have done with this new infinity edge and how it interacts with other adcs and champs alike.
Thx for reading.

Can we get a riot games worker in here please. Just wanted to know what was going on inside of HQ when you guys decided on this item's changes.
etc. who have crit either built into a passive or into a skill. What I wanted to bring to light is the fact that the new IE enhances these skills beyond what they are supposed to be. Being squishy while this is happening is already scary, letting them do an additional 20% TRUE DAMAGE is worse when most of these are guaranteed crits.
as
used
using their shields and ults on you while 4 levels ahead at fountain. You're fiiiiiiine.
and enhanced IE from orm in order to have a realistic test ...
