im predicting it now, that the steraks gage change is terrible

the item was made for slow fighters, to be able to live through enemy burst and teamfight aoe that they dont have a meaning of evading, if they want to participate in fights.

changing the damage portion of steraks gage from a base ad increase to bonus ad will make the item too good on more mobile, bonus ad scaling champions like assassins, skirmishers like and even some marksmen like

if you want to nerf steraks interaction with triforce, you should change sheen and not steraks.

base ad increases are the best way we have so far to balance fighter items separately from the ad itemization of other classes. infact, if sheen didnt interact as strongly with base ad as it does, we could have even other fighter items changed to base ad increases and make it easier for us to balance fighters and squishier carries separately by their itemization.

riot is going at the problem from the wrong end.
