Buff, from the rylze and Liandry "nerf"

I was just experiment with one the new "Nerf" and noticed a pretty steller combination between having both items, and hitting that power spike quicker then before. I play a lot of malazahar, but it felt way to cost effective to go for liandry's and rylze, consider the minor change with liandry's cost and rylze being lowered and more cost effective for a midlaner. The combination of having a morelicon, liandry's and rylze happens a lot sooner, and those 3 items give a strong power spike for malazahar, Viktor, and cassiopia. I feel Riot has just made it easier for mage's to reach a suitable long term damage output that was only created prior, by completely snowballing a lane or having the game draw out to 45 minutes.

Has anyone experienced a minor increase in damage output through the game since the recent change? Or am i just speculating?

Liandry’s Torment is a natural pairing for Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, and many of its purchasers care primarily about that two-item power spike. Combined with the changes to Rylai’s, we are less concerned with RyLiandry’s being abused by non-core users, and thus can afford to let those core users hit their spike earlier.

This sounds to be working exactly as intended.

I like the items . I mean it's cheaper and the utility is still the same . So far I've been winning games nonstop as malz supp

It's more a nerf to unintended Rylai's users than DoT mages.
